It’s been almost two weeks since the show, but better late than never, right? On Tuesday, June 23 – the same night as the previously-covered Real Estate show – Lower Dens (we interviewed Jana Hunter from the band recently) played a show at Asylum, joined by Brooklyn’s TEEN and locals Snaex.

It would be hard to believe that Tuesday night’s show at Port City Music Hall was Real Estate’s first outing to the somehow-still-growing coastal city of Portland (when was the last time you didn’t see some sort of giant hole in the ground where there was once someone’s house? Or steel girthers jettisoning out of the quiet neighborhood of Munjoy Hill?).

But the Ridgewood, New Jersey sextet seemed right at home Tuesday night — and rightfully so. Portland, Maine and Ridgewood, NJ have plenty in common: the race to preserve crumbling historical landmarks; relatively small populations to their nearby metropolitan neighborhoods. And of course, the smell of Atlantic Air being a constant presence from the moment the sunrises to the evening when the sun finally sets after a long summer day. Of course, Portland is right on the ocean — but the transportation infrastructure is quite a bit more advanced than our Metro System — and Ridgewood is less than an hour from Rockaway Beach.

To put it simply: Real Estate felt right at home on Tuesday night and bassist Alex Bleeker (of Alex Bleeker And The Freaks) was more than eager to share their immediate connection to our city.
