Local filmmakers Petra Simmons and David Camlin are looking for your help to fund their new film, Makeshift – documenting artist Anna Hepler‘s travels across the country and development of three bodies of work – via the site IndieGoGo. Go here to learn more about the project and to donate. […] Back in December, we hosted a criminally under-attended show of excellent acoustic music at Mayo Street Arts. The final performance of the night was from Jacob Augustine, whose band – The House Of Fire – had just fallen apart. This was about as intimate as a public concert could get, and those in the room […] 
Milkman’s Union just released a new 3-song sampler to get fans excited for their upcoming string of shows. We recently announced a HillyTown Presents show in April that they’ll be a part of (speaking of which, that show’s headliners – Milagres – just got signed to Kill Rock Stars! More on them later) but […] 
Portland’s preeminent popster, Kurt Baker, is about to drop a new limited edition single with two tracks recorded by Jon Wyman – “Don’t Steal My Heart Away” b/w “Why You Gotta Lie” – just in time for his TWO show at Port City Music Hall tomorrow (2/22/11). The $2, two local band show (with […] 
Review and photos by David Zwickerhill. Thursday night six bands were formed by a random drawing of local musicians. Two days later Charlemagne, VCR, Bathroom Zeta Jones, Junkie Brewster, Assless Chaps, and Vermin Bride were the five ad hoc bands that took to the stage at this year’s 48 Hour Music Festival (2/19/11 @ […] There’s another look behind the scenes at the process for the big show tonight at SPACE. Advance tickets are highly recommended! And here’s a video courtesy of Dave Camlin from the band selection process earlier today at SPACE. It all comes together this Saturday. See you there! Don’t forget to grab those albums recorded by the bands created during this project in its first two years. […] 
South By Southwest 2011 is just under a month away, and enjoying 5 days of nonstop live music requires a bit of preparation. I’ll be looking at some of the acts I hope to catch, including bands from Maine, those who regularly play in Portland, and national acts who will hopefully make it through here […] 
Frontier Ruckus at One Longfellow Square – photo by Bryan Bruchman Sunday was a busy day for shows in Portland. I took a break from the excellent show down the road at SPACE and went to One Longfellow Square (the venue hosting the HillyTown Presents show I just announced April 23) to check […] 
Our predictions for how crazy and awesome B Dolan’s Church Of Love & Ruin show at SPACE was going to be were pretty spot on. Check out the photo gallery below for marching bands, burlesque, sissy bounce, feminist crowdsurfing, and a whole lot more! There was so much going on, it took two of […] 
I’m excited to announce this – not just because I’m getting to work with three great bands, but because this is the first time HillyTown is teaming up with One Longfellow Square. It’s a beautiful venue and we’re looking forward to getting in there! HillyTown Presents: Milagres [Brooklyn, NY] + Milkman’s Union [Portland, ME] […] 
Mckeensstreet Music is a Portland-based label with a small but growing roster of acts across the country (you are likely well-acquainted with their arguably most well-known group, Brenda) and they’ve been smart with promotion through free album downloads. Today, they released Bloodline Totem Poles, the debut album from Horse Thief, aka Chad Chamberlain. Fans […] 
There’s really no good reason to stay inside tonight. If you’re just looking for music, either of these should do the trick wonderfully. Enjoy your Friday night. […] Our friend Mike Cunnane (a member of Huak, the Rattlesnakes, and Sunset Hearts) has been shooting video of local bands at shows and posting them on his new site, Brass Cankles. As you may have noticed, these videos can also be found here on HillyTown, if you scroll down past the showlist on the right […] 
Glass Fingers (aka Jesse Gertz from South Portland) is new to me, but they could easily become a new favorite. Somehow the music spans lo-fi bedroom pop, electronic ridiculous pop, experimental synthetic sound collage, and everything in between. Not to mention a really well-done cover of Ra Ra Riot’s “Can You Tell.” This is […] |
