Remember the contest I’m running? Yup, the one where you can win two passes to the KahBang Fest in Bangor this Saturday just by emailing me! Go look at the pretty picture of The Gay Blades and follow the directions to email me and then at exactly 1:30pm today I will randomly select one winner […] Last week was incredible , starting with the loudest, most intense band possible (Haru Bangs) was absolutely the right idea. See for yourself in a couple weeks when [dog] and [pony] debut the first episodes of their HillyTown Presents concert video series. In the meantime, let’s keep things moving with the shows. Round 2 of […] The Portland Daily Sun has as its lead story the breaking news about how it’s hard to get your event flyers noticed in Portland. The above photo (taken last Spring when I was visiting Portland before moving here, I remember noticing how crowded the community boards were with concert announcements) gives you an idea […] Neko Case played a great set to an enthusiastic (and very, very warm) sold out crowd last night at Port City Music Hall. Opener Lucy Wainwright Roche – joined by Neko collaborator Kelly Hogan for part of the set – got the crowd warmed up with amusing banter between songs (for the record, I […] In celebration of HillyTown.com’s first year, I’ve put together a free, all ages, Wednesday night concert series for the month of August at SPACE Gallery. Tomorrow kicks things off with Haru Bangs, Theodore Treehouse (formerly/members of The Cups), and the debut performance from Boxy (members of Brenda, Graeme K). Tune in to Liberation By Sound […] I will see 659 of your smiling faces at Port City Music Hall tonight for the sold out Neko Case show! Here’s her recent appearance on Letterman, doing “This Tornado Loves You.” This past weekend, Case played the All Points West Festival. Looks like it was a pretty great time. […] I’m still catching up after being out of town for a week, but last night I saw Goes Cube play a show in Boston as a preview of the awesomeness they’ll be bringing to Empire Dine & Dance tonight in a (unofficial) HillyTown show. Montreal’s Clues headline and Marie Stella opens. Doors at 9pm, […] Field Gallery (74 India Street) is celebrating their 3rd birthday today with a party from 5-9pm. Sorry for the lack of updates over the last week, I was out of town. You were all too busy freaking out over Anvil anyway, right? Sad news, Deer Tick fans, their highly-anticipated show scheduled for this evening at SPACE Gallery has unfortunately been cancelled due to illness (tonsillitis, specifically). It seems like a lot of people in town were planning to make it out to the show, so where will everybody end up now? Luckily there are a few […] Photographer Jon Donnell was at the big Wilco show at the Maine State Pier this weekend and put together a whole gallery of great shots. Click here to see the full gallery from the show, including opening act Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band. Thanks to DJ Roy for his help in making this […] It’s pretty much inevitable that Wilco will find their way into your day. Even if you’re not going to the big show on the pier, you’ll probably hear it. Or maybe you’ll be trying to buy a cd, rent a movie, or grab some pizza over at 151 Middle Street around 12:30, while Wilco guitarist […] Once again, Spencer Albee has a video out promoting a show. Check out the absurd promo video for the As Fast As/Grand Hotel/The Leftovers show this Saturday at Asylum. That’s not the only thing the former Rusted Overtones member has up his sleeve – to celebrate the release of Spencer And The School Spirit […] With barely time to catch their breath after a blistering set at their EP release show at Slainte the other night, Huak are back tonight with a DoorYard show at Geno’s. The lineup for tonight has changed in the past few days, with The Grievants canceling their tour and Shabti and Rotundo Sealeg jumping […] It’s too nice out to spend the morning on the internet – get outside! You’ve got plenty of options this weekend for entertainment (pssst don’t forget the all ages show that Marie Stella is playing on Sunday) so get out there and enjoy this break from the rain! |
