Portland, Oregon, USA (2004 – present)
Portugal. The Man is an experimental indie rock four-piece centered on frontman John Baldwin Gourley’s abstract musical approach and corresponding upbringing. He was raised in a sort of technological isolation: his log cabin home in the winter wasteland of the fringes of Wasilla, Alaska was powered by a generator and had no telephone. Both of his parents helped completely immerse him in the unique lifestyle that comes with a land of seasonal darkness and perpetual cold with their jobs as dog sled mushers.
Gourley’s innate curiosity and individual spirit combined with a fascination with science fiction and experiences of homelessness create a distinctly transcendent sound that is always open to interpretation and change.
Even though members were born in Alaska, the band formed in Portland, Oregon, USA, in 2004 with the union of Gourley (vocals, guitar, organ, machines) and his childhood friend Zachary Scott Carothers (Bass, percussion, vocals) after the break-up of their band Anatomy of a Ghost. Jason Sechrist (Drums and Gang) of Portland, OR joined in 2005. Current lineup includes Ryan Neighbors (Piano, Rhodes, Organ, Synth, Vocals). They are however known for fluidity in both their music and their lineup and often feature guest appearances.
The band’s debut album, Waiter: “You Vultures!” was released by Fearless Records on January 24th, 2006.

Uh, if you want me to be honest, I love both MGMT and PTM and I've personally listened to every single one of PTM's albums.. They only really sound like MGMT in "In the Mountain, In the Cloud" and slightly in "American Ghetto." I don't see why there's a big argument over this, though. Shut up and enjoy their awesome music guys >:I

I don't know why anyone mentioned MGMT in the first place but they don't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Ptm

@MusicxxAddicted I'm assuming you've never listened to anything before their newest album, then. Censored Colors and even Church Mouth are not a fucking thing like MGMT.
