Screaming Females win the award for national act that could be mistaken for a Portland local band, judging by the reaction of fans at their shows. Every time they come around it’s as if there’s a sigh of relief from the punk and indie rock-loving fans who hold their breath between visits. At their gigs, […] There were a surprising number of good shows last night in Portland for a Wednesday, but while most of us were out rocking out at venues, I’m sure many more were at home watching a favorite of many Mainers on TV. Ray LaMontagne & The Pariah Dogs made an appearance on Conan O’Brien‘s show to […] 
I know this is a music website, but we’ve gotta have clothes to wear out to shows, right? Most of the show-going public in Portland are into the nautical-chic heritage style of local superstar boutique Rogues Gallery (plus they throw really awesome parties). If the regular prices at their Wharf St. shop are a bit […] We’re looking for Maine bands heading to Austin, TX next month for South By Southwest! Though we won’t be putting on a showcase or throwing a party like we did at CMJ, we will be there covering the festival with a focus on Maine bands and musicians, so send in your tour dates to post […] 
In what looks like an effort to give another local music series a run for its money (plus a touch of Empire’s Clash Of The Titans series) on Tuesday nights, The Big Easy is launching a new series called Cover To Cover, where local artists perform a set of original music followed by one […] 
Screaming Females at Death By Audio (Brooklyn, NY) January ’08 I would say I can’t believe that Screaming Females just made their late night network tv debut (on Carson Daly), but I can believe it. I’m so glad that they just happen to love the city I left the NY/NJ area for and […] 
This Sunday (2/13) sees Rhode Island’s B. Dolan bringing a huge Valentine’s Day weekend tour he’s calling “The Church Of Love & Ruin” to SPACE Gallery. He was nice enough to answer some questions in the week leading up to this special string of shows to help shed some light on what he’s got planned […] 
Review and photos by David Zwickerhill Thursday (2/3/11) night’s hip hop show at Port City Music Hall was not one to have missed. From a solid performance by the openers, local trio Educated Advocates, to the frenetic energy of California rapper Lyrics Born, it was a barn burner from end to end. Lyrics Born […] 
Dominic Lavoie of The Lucid On Friday, February 4, about 500 local music fans came out to Port City Music Hall after the First Friday Art Walk to celebrate new releases by The Lucid and Space Versus Speed. A Boston band called Foxtrot opened with a seemingly very Radiohead/Oasis-influenced sound. Though the SVS […] This track, “Three Orphans,” will be on the group’s March 2011 EP, Bloodworm Songs. Check Bandcamp for that and much more from the ever-shifting world of Jakob Battick’s music.

Last night (February 3, 2011) somebody said this show was “highly blogable.” Well, here’s the blog post about it, so I guess they were right. Woods and Ducktails (Real Estate’s Matt Mondanile solo/backed by whoever he’s touring with) have both been through Portland in the past year, and this time they hit town […]

It isn’t every day that the band with the country’s number one bestselling album stops by to play an instore at your local record shop, but today, that’s exactly what we got here in Southern Maine. The Decemberists took a day off between Boston and Montreal to visit Bull Moose Music in Scarborough, Maine […] |
