When Portland swept the streets and repurposed the city’s vacant buildings, it must have told the hippies and jam bands to head out of town too. In the past decade, Portland has become a haven for heavy rock bands — particularly of the Sabbath-y, sludgy variety. Sons of Huns is one of them. You’ve seen them come to Spokane before — a three-piece making thick, rattling rock that pairs perfectly with an evening of heavy drinking and headbanging — but they’ll look a little different, a little more localized: Belt of Vapor’s bass whiz/lead screamer Aaron Powell has joined the band as its touring bassist.
