Today, CMJ announced the current full list of bands performing at this year’s annual Music Marathon & Film Festival. Check out the full list here. Why do we care so much about a festival in another city? Because for the first time ever, it will include a Portland, Maine showcase with 7 bands from the […]

So long, North Star. Portland loved you too. They need to have the place cleared out by this Friday (9/24) so there will be cleaning parties every night at 6pm beginning on Tuesday. Stop by and help out if you can! There’s a new installment in Pitchfork’s POV Concert Series (you can pick […] Sad news in the Munjoy Hill live music, coffee, and good food world: North Star Music Cafe will be closing their doors for good this Sunday. The cafe asked for help from the community to keep their doors open earlier this year to much support, but it sounds like it just didn’t work out. The […]
Well, let’s clarify. If you contribute $75 or more to the band’s Kickstarter campaign, they’ll record an acoustic song in a recordable greeting card for you. For $1000, they’ll play a house party for you (within a 3-hour drive of Portland). The band has completed the recording of their new album, and […] I don’t know how Seekonk got away with only pressing 100 copies of the original vinyl-only release of their third and final album, Pinkwood 2. Recorded in 2007 and released in 2008, it is a clear landmark in the local music scene, as members of the band soon went on to other acts, including Plains, […] Foam Castles – “Garage From Sling Blade” Portland’s Foam Castles – who played our OFFStage series this summer, Picnic, and the Summer Solstice boat party – have obviously been busy since we profiled the band’s sole member/mastermind/songwriter, Tyler Jackson, back in May. We’ve been enjoying the new album, Molly’s Jungle, since the Spring, but today […] 
Don’t be scared. If it’s OK to drink on a Tuesday (the usual monthly day of the week for Portland Greendrinks), then a Monday is just as acceptable. Give it a shot tonight as the networking event brings its kegs to Bayside Bowl, at 58 Alder Street in Portland. As usual, the event starts […] In what might seem like an unlikely pairing, Portland’s music video masters [dog] and [pony] have teamed up with Wells’ premier rapper, Spose (Universal Records), to produce a video for “The Cask” which also works as a promo video for his upcoming album, The Audacity!, due out later this year. Check it out below: […] As you probably know, there’s a big Ozomatli show at Port City tonight. With all of you college kids back in town now, they’ve decided to cut you a deal and make $10 student tickets available at the door (don’t forget yr ID, and you do still need to be over 21). That’s definitely a […] It’s First Friday in Portland again! Lots of fun happening around town to be enjoyed. Let’s start with two unique movie experiences: 1. The Apohadion hosts the Portland premier of Harmony Korine’s weirdo film, Trash Humpers. That’s $6, starts at 8:30pm, 107 Hanover Street in Bayside. 2. Rogues Gallery gets in on the film screening […] 
We’re excited to announce a brand new feature on the site! Until now, I’ve had to enter each event in our show listings on the site manually, but now you can do it yourself! This feature is especially useful for bands, promoters, and venues who want to make sure that we are aware of your […] 
Though he may have left our lovely East coast environs for the sunny shores of California, we still count Adam Kurtz as a player in the Portland, Maine music scene. With that in mind, today we celebrate the release of his new EP, Throw Them In The Ocean. This followup to Open Road […] You may have noticed that there’s a new featured album over on the left sidebar of the site. Portland’s premier piano-popster, Will Gattis (who did a pretty admirable job commanding and entertaining the room at SPACE the other day playing to a very young all ages crowd) , celebrates the official release of his new […] Who were your favorite acts at KahBang this year? I’m curious to hear about how the Film & Art aspect of the expanded festival was this year. Let us know in the comments! All photos in the (alphabetical) post by Conall O’Brien. […] HillyTown exclusive! New video from Portland psych-drone collective Planets Around The Sun (directed by the band’s own M. Lajoie). The song is “Sunshooter” off their upcoming album Ram Of Heart Check it out: See the band live next weekend on Saturday, 8/27, at the Frontier Cafe in Brunswick, ME in conjunction with a screening […] |
