Summer is looking loud and fun for Portland! Just announced, State Theatre Presents will be promoting concerts at a new outdoor concert site in Portland. Located at the intersection of Commercial Street and Franklin Arterial, Concerts on the Waterfront at Ocean Gateway (CWOG is how I’ll probably refer to it) will be an exciting new […] 
For music junkies, Record Store Day is the best sort of blessing and curse. It’s the day when the music industry unleashes a ton of rare, exclusive, limited edition releases upon record stores throughout the world. This year it falls on this Saturday, April 16. Let’s check in with Chris Brown (Bull Moose employee and […] 
I saw a lot of great bands a SXSW this year, so I’ll keep working on sharing that with you. Here’s another one! Band: Yellow Ostrich / Hometown:NYC Show: Billions / Venue: Antone’s / Date: 3/18 Alex Schaaf is a resourceful man. When we first encountered his project, Yellow Ostrich, it was a solo […] Funny timing… today official word came in that folks at KahBang (the Bangor music and arts festival happening August 5-13) will be bringing a summer concert series to the Maine State Pier from June to September. The group plans to make announcements including the lineup and ticket sales info in the upcoming weeks. Refresh your […] 
This looks like a great chance for musicians, music fans, promoters, venue representatives, and anybody involved or interested in our exciting local music scene to come out and meet and share ideas. Monday, April 25 at Bayside Bowl, the Portland Music Foundation will host a Music Industry and Community Night beginning at 7pm. Bonus […] 
This Sunday is your opportunity to make some fast cash. No, this isn’t some money-making scheme, it’s a “collaborative public dinner event and democratic experiment in micro-funding for creative projects in Portland.” Got your attention? The first event of its kind here in Portland, Maine, SOUP is modeled after the event by the […] 
I momentarily blew the lid on this one yesterday, before I realized that the band was trying to keep it secret (but like I told front man Tyler Jackson – “If it’s on the internet, people can find it”), but now you can officially stream, download, and generally get down with a brand new […] 
STRFKR I love a good dance party. That’s exactly what tonight’s show at SPACE turned into. From the Vistas kicking it off and keeping things moving between bands with a sweet mix of samples and beats both familiar and new (come experience their full-on party abilities with us April 30 in Belfast) to […] 
We’ve been hinting at this for a while now, and we’re psyched to finally be able to announce it. HillyTown Presents the Free Range Fest Afterparty! Starting at 10pm and open to guests 21+, the party will go down at Three Tides – an excellent bar with great food, beer, and a gorgeous outdoor […] 
Some of you might be asking this question about the show happening tonight at SPACE Gallery… STRFKR After The Jump Fest CMJ Showcase, October 2008 – Knitting Factory, NYC It’s been a while since I’ve seen STRFKR live. The last time was where the above photo was taken, when the band played a […] 
Photos and recap by David Zwickerhill. Underground hip hop legend Awol One played the Big Easy last Wednesday and it was a great one. Several local acts warmed up including hometown hero Brzowski who ripped it in what was to be one of his last stateside performances before his European tour with Moshe. Next […] 
Band: o’death / Hometown: Brooklyn, NY Show: Panache + Ernest Jenning Records / Venue: Red 7 + 512 / Date: 3/17 + 3/20 Currently in the midst of a North American tour, with European dates kicking off April 27, o’death are on the road (dates here) in support of their fantastic new record, Outside. […] This site doesn’t get too political (or focused specifically on art), but this video was too good to skip on posting. I guess I do have a thing for projections. Might I also suggest an alternate soundtrack. Additionally, PACA has placed prints from panels of the mural around Portland – you may have seen them […] In a long overdue update, you can now browse HillyTown in a convenient touch-friendly format on your mobile device. We’d love to hear some feedback on how this is working out for our readers (especially those with fancier phones than our Android…)! 
Update: Looks like it has been confirmed that this was not a joke, the Nateva Festival really has been canceled this year! Sorry to hear it didn’t work out, and I hope they can get things sorted out to return in 2012. Fact: It’s April Fools Day (did you like our little joke with Jesse […] |
