I regret not mentioning this before it happened, but last week’s First Friday Art Walk also marked the grand opening/ribbon-cutting ceremony at The International Cryptozoology Museum, located in the back of the new book store run by Michelle (of Strange Maine Gazette fame), The Green Hand. Here are a few photos from the night. […] As mentioned, the DoorYard Art Collective made a grand return to the monthly First Friday Art Walk in Portland with a full installation and open studio experience. If you’ve ever been to the DoorYard before (or Soundpost, or Stillhouse…) you may not recognize it these days, as it’s changed quite a bit. Check out […] Jon Donnell kindly sent over this snap of the upcoming Apohadion schedule (the only place to find it is on the wall at the Theatre itself), which includes some shows that are news to me. Check it out! (individual show details linked further down). Show details: 11/9, 11/10, 11/12, 11/13, 11/18, 11/28, 12/5, 12/11. […] Sure, there are lots of galleries and art spaces in Portland, but for tonight’s First Friday Art Walk, why not head off the Congress Street path a bit and check out a couple less-conventional spots? The DoorYard (108 High Street, at Spring) will be celebrating its first Open Studio/Art Walk exhibit in way too […] On Monday, Pete Yorn played Port City Music Hall along with Brooklyn-based openers Alberta Cross. Yorn’s tambourine man/merch guy/party starting pal Max has the setlist from the show up on their tour blog. Actually, his contributions in the form of exuberant tambo-jangling were my favorite parts of the headlining act’s set, but unfortunately they […] The previously announced headliner for tonight’s show at SPACE Gallery, Liz Durrett, has canceled her performance (not sure why it’s still listed on her show schedule, but according to SPACE she’s not playing). Instead, Lady Lamb The Beekeeper will now headline the show, with Bowdoin College’s The Milkman’s Union and California’s The Mumlers (watch this […] No on 1 rally this afternoon. A few more photos here. Have you been to SPACE lately? Maybe you were there for the Halloween party this weekend (in that case, you may be in one of these photobooth shots), or maybe you’ve wandered in during the day. Either way, you’ve surely noticed the intense exhibit taking up 90% of the wallspace inside. Thank NY artists Swoon […] Last night at the ever-surreal Bubba’s Sulky Lounge, Ye, Batshelter, and Haru Bangs got the Halloween weekend started properly with a headbanging and boot-licking-inducing set. Check out the photo gallery here! Looking for fun tonight? Obviously there are tons of parties around town – check out your favorite venue/bar for some sort of awesomeness […] On Friday, Dylan Metrano will bring his new book about the first decade of his band Tiger Saw, All My Friends Are Right Here With Me, and the corresponding tour to Portland with a free, all ages show at SPACE Gallery. The book comes with a cd with 13 tracks featuring other artists covering the […] review by Biscuit Wakefield Eaters of Portland! I realize that Bryan, Hilly Town’s owner, asked me to review chocolate-chip cookies for this fine web site. I am sorry that my CCC reviews have slowed of late — the summer was busy, my garden was suffering, and other obligations interfered. I promise I will have […] I may be out of town (and apparently missing killer dance parties, a downtown filled with jack-o-lanterns, impending snow, and all sorts of birthdays and assorted ridiculousness) but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten you, Portland. The big Hell No On One benefit show tonight (with an all ages version tomorrow) – which supports the […] On Saturday, October 3, Sufjan Stevens played to a sold out crowd at Portland’s Port City Music Hall. Review by Jenna Quartararo. “It’s pretty punk rock up here singing ‘dadada’, ” noted Sufjan Stevens at his sold out show at the Port City Music Hall Saturday night. “They put this barrier up here like you […] I’m out of town for the weekend (at the Camden Film Fest) but there are just too many good things happening in Portland this weekend to go without mentioning them. As always, First Friday in Portland comes with a lot of art walking with performances, new exhibits, and all sorts of surprises. Here are a […] I have to say, Nick and Krister from Dog And Pony do some great work. They filmed all of the performances during my HillyTown OFFStage @ SPACE Gallery concert series last month and are rolling them out in episodes over at their website. This week they present “King Day” by Brooklyn’s Blood Warrior. Check it […] |
