Lovers

With a busy schedule of HillyTown Presents shows over the past couple of months, we’ve had the opportunity to work with some great local and national acts, including longtime favorites and bands we were seeing for the first time.

Treble Treble Vol. 3 Coming Soon

This summer, Ian Paige will curate the third installment of Treble Treble, SPACE Gallery’s series of local music compilations (the first two were by Joshua Loring or Brenda and myself), before he takes off across the country with his band Planets Around The Sun.

Music Fans Need Food Too: Exchange St. Cafe

Portland has a new late night food option. Offering “Just good Italian food” and some of the most enthusiastic service I’ve seen after 1am, the Exchange Street Cafe is open until 2AM Thursday-Saturday, making it a new option for post-rock show snacking (yes, they’re open other times too).

Portugal. The Man Played Port City [6.1.11]

After catching most of Neon Trees at the State, I ran down to Port City Music Hall for a show that’s been a long time coming to Portland: from Alaska (by way of the other Portland), Portugal. The Man are one of those bands that have a way of capturing fans’ attention in a […]

Neon Trees Played The State [6.1.11]

Last night was a busy one for national acts in town. I started at the State Theatre for Neon Trees before heading down Congress Street (see my post on Portugal. The Man coming soon). I wasn’t actually too familiar with the headliner or openers The Limousines, but both acts pushed the electro/pop genre hard […]
