Black Belt Eagle Scout: Katherine Paul.
Katherine Paul, the Portland-based multi-instrumentalist behind Black Belt Eagle Scout, is a queer indigenous feminist whose songwriting weaves together the intersections of her identity with vulnerability and pluck. Her voice is dreamy and sublime, and her brilliant guitar playing exhibits the lush, ethereal sonic range of her instrument. “Indians Never Die,” from her debut album, Mother of My Children, was written in response to the events at Standing Rock. “Soft Stud,” the album’s opening track, is a self-described “queer anthem” with a crunchy guitar riff and a lovelorn refrain. Her latest track, “Loss & Relax,” from a forthcoming 7-inch, touches on the metamorphoses that accompany loss. Seeing her in an intimate space like Communication will be a real treat. With Disq, fresh off their triumphant visit to SXSW.

" . . . a compact reflection on loss, queer desire, and the endurance of sacred native traditions. Though Mother of My Children captures a specific moment in Paul’s life, it has the power to stick around for a long time." -- Pitchfork, Best Rock Albums of 2018
“There’s a universality to Paul’s soul-searching, a yearning that transcends the boundaries between people and speaks to the human condition in general.”
-- Stereogum, 40 Best New Bands of 2018
“Paul has a knack for making very specific, personal anecdotes feel universal.”
- Paste, 20 Best New Artist of 2018
