This is the first of a three-part series of posts covering the Nateva Music & Camping Festival in Oxford, Maine July 2-4. Read on for a full photo gallery (I mean it, there are tons of photos after the jump…) featuring moe., Ghostland Observatory, Felice Brothers, Jakob Dylan, and many more artists from the first […] Now that the site is in order, don’t mind if we do a little bit of catchup here! Even though the state of Maine’s music scene can feel pretty small at time – especially if your primary interested is the indie/experimental world – it can still take some time to catch an act. I’d known […] First, some celebratory fireworks from this past holiday weekend on Munjoy Hill here in Portland…

What started as simply a place to list music events […] Portland’s premier indie psych-popsters (and this site’s namesake) Phantom Buffalo have made a video promoting their upcoming LP, Cement Postcard With Owl Colours. It’s colorful and amazing.
At Nateva this weekend (where the above photo is from) we caught Portland (and all of Maine’s) best female rapper Sontiago onstage with the rock band Isobell at the beautiful Port City Music Hall stage (imagine taking the real Port City and turning it into a warehouse party and that’s about what it was […] It’ll take at least a day or two to get everything together for the full writeup on Nateva Festival, but for now I put a few of my photos up for you to check out.

Go get it, or check it out over on the sidebar as HillyTown’s current featured album! Bands interested in getting your […] Just as the summer solstice marks the beginning of the season, Planets Around The Sun and friends set things off with a party only they could pull off, on a boat in Casco Bay. I have a gallery of photos from the event over at IMPOSE. It was a great party, and the perfect start […] At last week’s Solstice Spectacular at One Longfellow, local blues guitarist Samuel James played a pretty riveting cover of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” and even managed to show off some slick dance moves at the same time. Watch it below!

Check out “Cruel To Be Kind” below. Get more info on this album at Oglio Records. […] Tasty Dude Films made a new video for Grand Hotel‘s song, “California Cool”. The band has a number of high profile gigs coming up this summer, including slots on both the Nateva and KahBang Festivals, as well as their cd release party at The Stadium (yes, really – I’ve actually heard that their […] Due to car troubles, DM Stith and Inlets won’t be making it to SPACE Gallery tonight, so plans have changed a bit.
