Portugal. The Man got its start in Wasilla, Alaska, where John Gourley and bassist Zach Carothers met at Wasilla High School in 2001 and began making noise together. They later set up shop in Portland, Oregon, and spent years as a wonderfully restless indie band: two albums on Fearless Records, three more on their own Approaching AIRballoons imprint with Equal Vision Records, and a sound that wandered from psych-rock sprawl to falsetto-soaked soul.
The Satanic Satanist in 2009 tightened the songs, "People Say" pairing a sunny melody with a sour aftertaste, and after the move to Atlantic in 2010, In the Mountain in the Cloud delivered "So American" and "Got It All (This Can't Be Living Now)". Evil Friends in 2013 pushed further into glossy, wobbly pop on the title track and "Modern Jesus".
Then Woodstock landed in 2017 with "Feel It Still", a slinky, handclap-driven earworm powered by Gourley's high, sly vocal. It won the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and became the song the band is best known for, with "Live in the Moment" following it onto the airwaves. These days Gourley leads the project with a crew of touring players behind him.
