History

edit

In May 2018, the venue's owner was accused of sexual harassment, causing some musicians to cancel performances.[3][4] Donnie Rife denied the anonymous accusations, and decided to leave. New owners were expected by mid-May.[5] The venue has closed, as of 2019.[citation needed]

Events

edit

Analog has hosted a variety of music acts, including Mitski in 2016,[6] Sunny Sweeney in 2017,[7] and Dark Funeral in 2018.[8] Immediately after cannabis became legal in Oregon on July 1, 2015, Rife hosted "Free Marijuana Mondays".[9][10]
