Portugal. The Man originated in Wasilla, Alaska, with core members John Gourley and Zach Carothers beginning their musical collaboration in 2001 at Wasilla High School. The band officially formed in 2004, initially establishing themselves in Portland, Oregon. Their early career included releasing debut album “Waiter: “You Vultures!”” in 2006 under Fearless Records, followed by “Church Mouth” in 2007. The band then transitioned to their independent label, Approaching AIRballoons, in partnership with Equal Vision Records for albums like “Censored Colors” (2008), “The Satanic Satanist” (2009), and “American Ghetto” (2010), demonstrating consistent output and evolving sound. John Gourley received the “Best Vocalist of the Year” award from Alternative Press in 2008.

Their seventh album, “Evil Friends,” released in 2013 and produced by Danger Mouse, further solidified their critical standing. The band achieved mainstream international recognition with their eighth studio album, “Woodstock,” released in 2017, and its lead single “Feel It Still.” This single became a multi-platinum success, topping various Billboard charts and earning them a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance in 2018. They continued to release music, with “Chris Black Changed My Life” in 2023, and are set to release “Shish” in 2025.
