AC LOV RiNG of Portland, Oregon, founded in 2011 is an avant-garde band amongst the local music scene. Their music is a maelstrom of americana and electric story telling through an indeterminacy of performance that leaves you pondering how to classify AC LOV RiNG amongst their peers. This band is one to be observed and then defined, in your own words. I challenge you to check out an AC LOV RiNG performance and classify what has left many observers intrigued and unable to put their thumb on what they have just witnessed.
