Congratulations to Rachel Lyn, winner of our ticket giveaway for the Project Jenny, Project Jan / Hiss & Chambers show tonight at Empire Dine & Dance! Thanks to everybody who entered and spread the word about the contest. Tickets are still available for the show here for just $6, or you can get them […] 
Project Jenny Project Jan are a bit of a party band. Much more than the electronic duo they started out as, this full on force of a live music experience – part LCD Soundsystem, part Frank Sinatra – is determined to make Portland a regular destination. They return to Empire Dine & Dance this […] 
Last week, local promoter extraordinaire A Robot put on another excellent free show at Flask (careful with those Moxie Bombs!). If you haven’t been making it out to these, you’ve been missing something real special. For this occasion, the bands were all female-fronted, and I especially appreciated the increasing number of band members onstage […] 
Brown Bird and friends outside SPACE Gallery – photo by Bryan Bruchman Brown Bird – “Fingers To The Bone” Though they call Rhode Island home, we sure do love Brown Bird around here. From their Maine roots to their work with Peapod Recordings and occasional involvement of Maine musicians Jeremy and Jerusha Robinson […] 
Our friends in the band When Particles Collide (they played a recent HillyTown Presents show in Biddeford) checked out the Arootsakoostic Music Festival this weekend and were kind enough to share their thoughts and images from the experience with us on the site. Check it out below: words by Sasha Alcott and photos by Chris […] Portland musician Samuel James has just released a new video for his song “Nineteen.” The clip was directed by local filmmaker Allen Baldwin and features a refreshing mix of live footage and studio shots for the sparse blues song. Samuel James plays in Portland this Friday with G. Love at the Maine State […] 
With SPACE Gallery becoming a regular tour destination for Jolie Holland, on Thursday she brought her tour in support of the just-released album Pint of Blood through Portland. In a move that it seems we’re seeing more and more, members of the excellent opening band, Portland, OR-based Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside, are […] 
We’re excited to announce the HillyTown Presents-curated lineup of bands playing at next month’s Picnic Music & Arts Festival in Portland, Maine. The free August 27th festival will take place at Lincoln Park on Congress Street and Franklin Arterial from 11am-6pm. We’ve put together a fun day including Maine bands and 3 NYC acts coming […] 
We’ve heard a lot of different reports on how Monday’s Dinosaur Jr. show at Port City Music Hall went. The most common response was “It was sooooo loud!” or “My ears are still ringing!” One fan even swears that he wore earplugs for the first time in his life, despite decades of hearing loss […] 
New show announcement! On Friday, July 29, HillyTown Presents if and it + Beat Radio (NYC) + The Farthest Forests at Mayo Street Arts [10 Mayo Street, Portland, ME]. Doors 7:30pm, music 8:00pm, all ages, $5. Headliners if and it have been making a name for themselves at just about every venue in […] 
This past weekend at SPACE Gallery, the Somerville, MA-based psych/shoegaze festival, Deep Heaven Now, landed in Portland for two days. Check out photos from the first day, which included Quilt, MMOSS, Foam Castles, 28 Degrees Taurus, and Metal Feathers. Mister Chris & the Instant Animals (or is it Mystery?) opened the night. […] 
It’s that time again when we play catch up on photo posts! Last week Vanityites played a show at Empire with Phoenix Best Music champs Mallet Brothers Band and photographer Andrew Foster was there to check it out and sent these photos. This band puts on an unforgettable, exciting show and has just […] 
Interview by Matt Dodge. Whispering Altar photos by Bryan Bruchman. A spectacle at the center of Portland’s folk/pysch/drone scene for the last three years, Planets Around the Sun will take their leave of the city in the coming weeks. […] 
Thursday night at Flask Lounge was one of those fun, low-key local shows that just feels so great. A Robot has been doing a great job putting together free shows, and everything aligned to make this one in particular especially fun. It’s no secret that HillyTown loves if and it and Butcher Boy, but […] Blank City is film that documents a film scene – particularly that of the late 70’s in downtown NYC. Like the No Wave punk and art rock of the time (some of which can be heard on the soundtrack), the filmmakers and work covered here laid the groundwork for much of what would come in […] |
