Portman

Portman, first emerged in 2004 in Eastern Croatia, and ever since, they've been carving their path as an instrumental outfit. Through a haze of experimentation and a shuffle of lineups, they found their groove in instrumental rock, weaving together a tapestry of genres including elements of post rock and prog rock. Throughout its 20-year history and despite half a dozen lineup changes, the core nucleus of the band remains unchanged, with Ivan Kukuljevic on drums and Davor Kavicki on guitars. On their discography, they have a handful of singles and three albums. Their debut, “Pereskesije,” hit the shelves back in 2009 under the banner of Lady Records in the States. Their sophomore effort, “The Man Who Carries a Light,” arrived in 2013 under Klub Dostava Zvuka. Their latest full length album "Stamina" came out July 19th via Tone Deaf Inc. worldwide. Stamina was recorded by Hrvoje Nikšić in an old high school auditorium in Našice, Croatia, mixed by Filip Pacak, and features Marko Prole on synth, and Petar Glova on bass. When they're not touring or recording with Portman, you’ll find them sprinkled across other interesting projects like Hesperian Death Horse, Nokti, Oprosti, and La Manche. Booking: booking@tonedeaf.us
