Brown Bird On NPR Rhode Island

Don’t miss this video of Brown Bird performing on WRNI, Rhode Island’s NPR station. I love performance here and the quality of the video is just fascinating – I wonder if a DSLR camera was involved.

Belfast Free Range Music Fest April 24

Not too many details yet, but they have a poster and a website for the Belfast Free Range Music Festival happening at multiple venues in Belfast, Maine on Saturday, April 24.

Gone Shootin’

Things have been a little quieter here recently (thanks to a new job at SPACE Gallery and an increasingly busy freelance photography schedule) and this week they’ll go (almost) silent. I’m off in Austin, TX for the annual SXSW Music Festival (or rather all the free/unofficial shows that coincide with every band in the […]

Looks Like Touring Season

Two shows that are a bit of a change of pace were announced for Port City Music Hall today: Against Me! (pictured above in Brooklyn) on 4/28 and Isis (with Cave In) on 6/22! This is probably just the beginning, as we get closer to summer and more national acts confirm tours that bring […]

P.O.S. Tonight at SPACE

At last year’s South By Southwest music festival in Austin, I was assigned to shoot someone called P.O.S. I had no idea what to expect, but went to the show and was really impressed by his energy and blend of rap and rock styles (note: not “rap-rock”). The show went to an entirely other […]

Kaveldt.

According to their Myspace page (where you can listen to the track “Rum Runner”), Kaveldt is a “new band featuring ex-members of Conifer, Purse, Haru Bangs and Ruler Of The Raging Main. Debut show this March, 2010. Upcoming 12″ vinyl split record with AoK Suicide Forest in the works for this summer.”

Sounds good. […]

First Friday! Plus Dilly Dilly + more at Hogfarm Photos!

The March First Friday is here, and though I’ll probably miss most of the fun due to other obligations, there’s enough good stuff happening in Portland that I just have to share.

For the first time, Eternal Otter Records will be opening their Headquarters at the Building Of Song location (142 High St, Suite 513) […]

mckeenstreet music

This year officially sees the launch of Graeme K’s new label, mckeenstreet.

The first releases will begin to roll out in May and include efforts by Brenda, Dethro, The Last Sip (Vince Nez), Horse Thief (Chad Chamberlain), and Graeme K. Feeling a little lost? I suggest starting with these videos to get acquainted with […]

State Theater. Finally?

It’s not quite the confirmation that we’re all looking for, but it’s at least looking good: through all the speculation and rumors, there is now at least some solid info out there about the renovation of the State Theater. Read the Press Herald article here, and if you happen to have a couple million […]

Theodore Treehouse Review

Last week Theodore Treehouse played at Slainte as part of their Mardi Gras celebration. I wrote a review of the show which appears in this week’s Portland Phoenix, and can be seen online here. The photo above is from that performance.

Where You Been, Whatchya Seen?

I was away for the weekend and am still catching up.

Jon Donnell was at the HillyTown Presents show last Thursday at the Apohadion and took these photos:

Jon was ALSO at the Mayo Street Arts event on Saturday, a concert that included Asian Mae, Thunderbow/Brushes With Death, and Hobgoblin. Check out his […]

HillyTown Presents TONIGHT!

Tomorrow, El Jezel and Metal Feathers pair up again in Allston for a show […]
