Portugal. The Man has spent much of the past year on tour supporting "EVIL FRIENDS." The band -- currently traveling Australia and New Zealand as part of the annual Big Day Out festival extravaganza -- continues to draw rave reviews wherever they go, with Rolling Stone's Gavin Edwards recently naming them the "Trippiest Act" at Los Angeles' annual KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas, further praising them for "blend(ing) a steady dance groove, falsetto vocals and psychedelic freakouts."
