The Man had been a band for just over 2 years and in that period, they had released 3 full-lengths, 1 EP, and a couple standalone singles. In that same period, they had also performed just shy of 500 shows. This young band from Alaska was riding a creative wave that is rarely scene coupled with the most hardcore work ethic. Alaskans are tough and this band was tougher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey ended tour in December of 2008 and instead of taking a much needed break made the decision that they needed to record the culmination of what their live performance had become. Finding a rare gem of a studio in the suburbs of Portland. They piled in to the studio with all their live gear and a handful of friends with handheld cameras. Longtime collaborator and filmmaker Graham (Baclagon) Agcaolli and engineer\/mixer Jacob Portrait (who would later join Unknown Mortal Orchestra) would help to document. 2021. The band has been off the road for well over a year, by far the longest break from the road since they started and the time just seems right. Here is\u003ci\u003e Oregon City Sessions\u003c\/i\u003e dug out of the archives. Untouched, unchanged from the day it was finished. It is a time capsule of a band finding its way. A snapshot of young raw talent before they won awards, before they sold millions of records, before they headlined festivals. Just a couple kids from Alaska wanting to travel the world and play music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Approachng AIRBalloons","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP | x2","offer_id":50501574066507,"sku":"1117722","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50501572723019,"sku":"1117721","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/be8ccb69-31ae-4f4c-8995-f78e059f5999_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727785314","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/oregon-city-sessions","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
