PNWC PRESENTS: New Year, New Synth- ODDitee, The Alphabet Zero, Moon Talk & Underwater Nightclub

Live at Shanghai Tunnel Bar, PDX, Jan 16th, 2026!

We are starting off the year strong with some familiar local synth names that will kick off the new year with a nostalgic bang.

having recently played in Seattle with the likes of US3R and Dream Commander, ODDitee is no longer wet behind the ears and keeping up with the vets in the scene. Releasing under the legendary Rosso Corsa Records and having a small guest appearance at Neotropolis 25'-the future looks bright for the masked man.

a Popwave/Electronic Ambient Synth project from across the bridge in Vancouver, WA, "TAZ" had a brief stint in Nashville before returning to the PNW area. Writing soundtracks for film and tinkering with sounds-an underrated beacon amongst the PNWC members.

a mainstay amongst the PNWC, opening for the likes of Watch Out For Snakes and Daniel Quasar, while also being one of the resident DJs for the monthly SynthCadia Nights. Moon Talk unique blend of vintage synths, video game motifs and modern production culminate in a dreamy, pop centered synth sound that will harkon back to better times.

Dark Synthpop/Electronic Rock duo from the PDX/Vancouver area, combining echoing guitars and haunting vocals to create a mystifying and alluring sound bound to keep your ears at attention.

We cant wait for you to join us soon in 2026!

As 2025 is coming to a close-we'll be highlighting some PNWC moments.

Such as Street Cleaner Big Trouble tour w/, & at Dantes, Portland, OR on Sep 9th, 2025.

Our very own opened the night with eerie and heavy darksynth tracks, melodic guitar riffs and driving drums. Setting the tone of high end energy.

followed up with unmistakable vocal talent and cyber visuals-projecting an impressive presence and performance. providing interaction inbetween songs to hype up the crowd and shredding on as the crowd cheered away.

closed the night bringing his cyber-vigilante justice on the dancefloor. Keytar solos, lazers, impromptu moshes with the crowd and surprise backup dancers culminated in an unforgettable and unique performance. As the night lingered on, waves of merchandice flung into the crowd and as the post credits rolled on the projecter- the vigilante departed knowing his objective in Portland was complete.

It was an absolute pleasure to assist and hopefully & returns to PDX sooner than later!

Thanks again .lens.cap for documenting the night and capturing every performer at their best. Thank you to all those who supported and enjoyed the night.

Till next time!

SEATTLE NIGHT OF SYNTH!!!

NIGHT 2: OCTOBER 26TH, SUNDAY SEATTLE, WA

An unbelievably stacked lineup in Seattle!

to summarize Seattle based dystopian pop-artist US3R would be a monumental task as his accolades stretch a vast, VAST landscape. Multiple Top 10 local radio chart appearances, over 750,000 streams on Spotify, countless interviews and a long tenured live presence with the likes of Parallels, Betamaxx, Street Cleaner, Moris Blak-the list just goes on AND ON. A musical phenom, his unique style blurs and breaks many electronic genres to create a sound so bold, diverse and original-pushing the boundries while remaining familiar. His most recent album 'Dopam1ne' has been garnering significant positive feedback, with lead single "Hatesong" bringing a menacing but intoxicating allure.

recently releasing their latest album 'Memories Of A Future Never Came' a multi-genre exploration of nostalgia and possibility, PDX based Daniel Quasar is elegant and innovative in their approach to their craft. Appearing live this summer with Alex Lightspeed and for their album release, a diverse and expressive display of tracks spanning across 4 albums with vocals and synths-an experience like no other.

returns to Seattle once again with his combination of atmospheric, moody instrumentals and hints of retro arcade game motifs-along with impressive keyboard skills. Teacher by day and cosmic key playing aficionado by night!

this event will make his first live appearance in Seattle marking a significant expanded reach for the PDX based artist. One of PNWCs leading figures, ambition and growth is what drives his unparralleled energetic performance. Vocals, keys, keytar and dance, you will be engaged from start to finish.

See you in Seattle!
