HillyTown Week Halfway, SPACE Tonight!

htp-space-may2

I almost can’t believe there’s still a few more days left to this week. We’ve been so happy with/excited about everything already, and can’t wait to see how the rest comes together. Tonight’s a big one, returning to the venue that easily takes the title of favorite/best/most amazing place in the universe (sure I’m biased, . . . → Read More: HillyTown Week Halfway, SPACE Tonight!

HillyTown Presents, Tonight At Geno’s!

htp-genos-may1

According to the internet rumor mill, tonight will be the last Mango Floss show ever. They’ve been a favorite Portland band of ours for the past year (I believe we dubbed them our “house band” because we just kept booking them a few times in a row last Fall), so we’re sad to see them . . . → Read More: HillyTown Presents, Tonight At Geno’s!

In April and May, HillyTown Presents a week worth of exciting events in the state where it all started. We’ve got an Arbor . . . → Read More: We Haven’t Forgotten About Maine.

When Particles Collide on BTR

HillyTown Presented NYC [3.8.12]

IMG_5450

Thursday night was our first time working with the Williamsburg, Brooklyn music venue Cameo Gallery. It’s an interesting spot, hidden in the back room of a restuarant in a pretty highly trafficked part of the neighborhood. That said, it feels like you’re walking in on a secret party, and that’s exactly what we liked . . . → Read More: HillyTown Presented NYC [3.8.12]
