Portals Presents: Yowie

Portals are excited to present a rare UK performance, and a UK exclusive performance for St. Louis experimental rock pioneers YOWIE, to coincide with their upcoming new album.
YOWIE push the boundaries of rhythm and structure, delivering an intense, angular, and mind-bending sonic experience. Their music is a labyrinth of interlocking patterns, where technical mastery meets raw energy.
Since 2000, St. Louis’ YOWIE has been perfecting a unique form of progressive rock that incorporates complex polyrhythms and guitar dissonance.
Relentlessly complex, brutally precise, and completely unpredictable YOWIE are a sonic force unlike any other. Since their formation in St. Louis, Missouri, the trio has carved out a singular space in the world of experimental and avant-rock, blending hyper-technical polyrhythms, jagged time signatures, and an almost inhuman synchronicity.
From their groundbreaking debut "Cryptooology" (2004) to the dystopian, shape-shifting chaos of "Damning With Faint Praise" (2012) and the apocalyptic intensity of "Synchromysticism" (2017), YOWIE have consistently pushed the limits of composition and execution. Their upcoming 2025 album on Skin Graft Records takes this even further, diving deeper into labyrinthine structures and kinetic, high-tension compositions.
Supports to be announced.
