Last year I (along with that assistance of Eternal Otter Records‘ Will Ethridge) coordinated a slew of festivities involving Maine musicians at the CMJ Music Marathon. This year we’re at it again, this time via the Portland Music Foundation. Read on for details on how your band can be part of the fun this October […] 
In the time since the demise of local chaos-fueled folk rockers Dead End Armory, Wesley Hartley and the Traveling Trees saw Wesley’s Texas roots coming to the forefront in a more subdued setting. Now that project has dropped a member and turned up the volume as Splendora Cölt, a trio that rides the line […] Ferdinand is turning 10, so we made this video. Check it out, and go to their party this Saturday (8/20) from 5pm-8pm! 
You know what’s up. Half the bands in Portland are up in Bangor this weekend, and if you’ve been meaning to catch anybody (or, you know, one of those big national acts that are also playing) then you probably want to get on the road asap. Find the full schedule at the KahBang site. […] 
Maybe it didn’t turn out to be such a Hot August Night (the slightly wet weather and wind kept the live music inside on the lower deck of the boat) but we still had a great party on the Casablanca Sunday Night. Thank you so much to Peapod Recordings, SPACE Gallery, if and it, […] 
This fairly low key evening started out with a beautiful performance by Micah Blue Smaldone, accompanied by Colleen Kinsella. Guitarist (and filmmaker) David Camlin followed with some solo fingerpicking action, before An Evening With took the stage. Jeremy Alexander’s project has had a rotating cast of characters over the years, in an effort to […] 
For a while I wasn’t sure if The Baltic Sea were still active, but it turned out they were just hard at work on their new album, Period Piece (which was the featured album here recently). At last week’s TWO show at Port City Music Hall, the band made some of the best use […] 
This show, promoted by KahBang, was originally scheduled to take place at the Maine State Pier, but eventually moved next door to the Ocean Gateway Waterfront to accommodate the high demand for tickets. Wiz Khalifa was the big draw, but openers Big Sean and Chevy Woods seemed to be getting plenty of attention from […] 
Ok kids, let’s do this. Party on a boat. Some tickets available there around 4:30-4:45. 
Two things I love are music and food, so this event was a chance to pair the two. Despite some threatening clouds and occasional drizzle (oh, and that sold out Beirut show across town), the pre-show backyard BBQ we set up at Mayo Street Arts on Friday went off without a hitch, and music […] 
According to our photographer David Zwickerhill, the show was crazy. We believe it. The Athens, GA-based metal duo Jucifer are infamous for their massive wall of amps and obscene volume levels, and it looks like they held nothing back at this show on July 22 at Geno’s. Read on for photos of Jucifer and […] 
It’s hard to believe that it had been two years since local sensations Hiss & Chambers played live. We knew they were working on something (keep an eye out for a possible release…) but were excited to hear that they’d be making a return to the Empire stage this summer with one of our […] Here’s a video preview of what we’ve put together for you tonight at Mayo Street Arts in Portland. Three excellent acts that you may or may not be aware of already, plus a pre-show stuff-yr-face BBQ party in the backyard (or maybe inside depending on the weather) with both meaty and veggie treats from Deux […] |
