by | Oct 24, 2016

If that’s not one of the best surprises ever…  Portugal The Man made an unexpected appearance at last night’s Bear vs Shark show in Los Angeles. They played an array of songs that spanned their discography. Oh yeah… and we’ve got footage too.

The show took place at the Echoplex on one of the last few stops of Bear vs Shark’s reunion tour. Portugal, on the other hand, are about to kick off their fall trek. They’ll be headed to Sacramento tonight for the first show of their month-long US run.

Here’s some footage from last night:
