At this point it almost doesn’t seem fair to use Dirty Projectors as a reference point for Nat Baldwin (he plays bass in that group), whose strong solo work focuses on sparse orchestration of voice and double bass. Now a few years out from his last release – 2008’s split 12″ with Extra […] 
When the opener for tonight’s Low Anthem show at SPACE was announced, there was a bit of a collective “Who?” Bobby – “Sore Spores” We have little to go on in terms of musical output beyond this single, though there is a Facebook page, an official site, and a Twitter account. The band is […] 
Here it is, kids – the artists playing at the 2011 Nateva Music and Camping Festival, August 4-7 at the Oxford Fairgrounds in Oxford, ME. Here’s who you’ll be able to find on the four stages (with more to be announced as they confirm). Acts who might be of particular interest to readers of […] 
Before you do anything, head over to Daytrotter and download the Astronautalis session. It’s excellent. Ok, let’s do this. Astronautalis is Andy Bothwell. He’s in town prepping his new band for their first tour together, which kicks off tomorrow with a show at SPACE Gallery. Buy tickets here. His new single, Midday Moon, is […] The new clip for “Never Easy,” the first single off Zach Jones‘ upcoming album Broken Record, starts out innocent enough, but hang in there to see things go in an interesting direction. The song itself is super catchy in that satisfyingly fuzzy way that makes us think of the Foo Fighters. Enjoy. The “Never Easy” […] 
Last night (Monday, February 28, 2011) at the State Theatre, Girl Talk turned the sold out crowd into a hot, sweaty mess where everyone – as requested – did their best to forget the fact that it was Monday night, and they should probably be doing homework, sleeping, or whatever – anything but dancing […] Here’s a little taste of what the sold out crowd at the State Theatre is in for tonight with Girl Talk… Read this NYT interview with Gregg Gillis (aka Girl Talk) where he talks about his double life, technology, and the fine art of bootlegging and remixing (and why it works). Things get started in […] 
Seemingly out of nowhere, Computer At Sea‘s Galen Richmond just wrote to let us know that his brand new album, Palace of the Lightbulbs, is now available online for name-your-own-price via Bandcamp. It’s great to finally hear these songs that have been live staples for so long in finished, recorded form. The vinyl edition […] Back in December our friend Nate Martinez (Brooklyn-based Thieving Irons) came through town and played a special acoustic show we put together at Mayo Street Arts. Check out this video below of Thieving Irons as a full band (including members of The National, Takka Takka, and Rocketship Park) playing on the Serious Business show on […] 
Both of last year’s Wesley and the Traveling Trees albums – Narrow Guage Quad Trains and Don’t Peel Your Bloomers Off Just Yet (which is now the featured album here) – are now available for streaming and purchase online at Bandcamp. Both are excellent and should serve as a great primer for anybody about […] 
He may not be headed to Texas like some other Maine-based musicians in the coming weeks, but Portland’s favorite bluesman (and according to his bio, the last of the great, black, American troubadours) is about to hit the road for a bit. Samuel James (aka Sugar Smallhouse) plays has a style all his own and […] We’re always sad to hear about venues closing – anybody out there with a trust fund want to save Venue American Grille [865 Forest Ave, Portland]? To our friends and patrons, Due to situations beyond our control, VENUE will be closed as of Monday, Feb. 28th. After the enthusiasm and high hopes of having […] 
I know it’s just a coincidence, but I can’t help but feel just a bit like this is a pretty sweet birthday present: local band Dead Man’s Clothes just released a brand new 2-song digital single. “From The Water” is a bit of a deceptive tune, starting slow with a hint of country and […] Looking for a great show to check out on Thursday? Here’s a solid bet: Nicole Atkins & The Black Sea (“Vultures” video above) are coming to town in support of the new album Mondo Amore. Even better, Cotton Jones are will be along to open the show. Just yesterday, they released a new ep, […] This little gem just surfaced on Facebook (thanks to Factory Portland) – check it out for a look back at what the Portland underground music scene looked like 15 years ago. Bonus video: a big rave (Hi, Kris Clark!) from “some unknown location in Portland” in 1993. […] |
