It was a great idea to put together a tour with three bands to travel throughout the state of Maine, playing a couple official shows and roadside gigs, and to document it all. Unfortunately one of the bands broke up, one split in half (becoming a solo act), and another had to pull out due […] Pull up a chair, this is gonna be a long one. Let’s start with the big news: in celebration of this little website’s first year on the internet, I’m throwing a party. Well, a bunch of parties, actually. Let’s just call it a music series. Specifically, the HillyTown OFFStage @SPACE Concert Series. Every Wednesday […] Only a band like Over A Cardboard Sea could get away with musical farting solos, but they pull it off perfectly. This is their first ever official music video! I’m not sure how it happened exactly, but a really great music festival has been brewing (and selling out of presale tickets) up in Bangor, Maine, and news about it seems to just be drifting down here to Portland today. On Saturday, August 15th, KahBang ’09 will take place in Downtown Bangor and the […] Tonight, PCMH hosts the Portland Music Foundation‘s monthly mixer from 6 to 8 pm. The event is free and open to the 21+ public. Also, Pitchfork just announced the Fall tour dates for Andrew Bird (and St. Vincent). Check out the October 24th stop on that one: South Portland, ME – S. Portland High School […] As if you didn’t know, the only thing anybody seems to care about today is the King Of Pop passing away. RIP MJ indeed. Arootsakoostic Festival is this weekend and hosts a pretty eclectic lineup, including many of the Portland scene’s finest acts! Someone report back to us with photos! The fantastically done crowdfunded documentary […] I’ve been in quite a pizza-loving mood lately (which you really know if you’ve run into me on Congress Street in the evening over the past week), so it’s interesting to come upon this little bit of news: Joe’s NY Pizza (or, more specifically, their upstairs “Slice Bar”) is going to start hosting events. Music, […] Last night marked the debut of a new venue in Portland. The Apohadion is a brand-new performance space located at 107 Hanover Street, in the space otherwise known at Fort Awesome, Pat Corrigan and Dave Noyes’ studio. Jon Donnell was there and got some great shots of the new space and the three bands […] In an effort to keep the Portland/La Soc vibe going after that last minute Lewis & Clarke show a while back, two of the label’s excellent artists, Matt Bauer and Strand Of Oaks, stopped by on tour to play with the elusive Tin Ceilings, which in this incarnation featured Sarah Ramey (Seekonk/Wolf Larsen), Dave […] Album art by Jason Gorcoff Dilly Dilly is one of those Portland musicians who you need to know. We featured her recently (for the Tower Of Song Fest) but this week there’s cause for celebration and a reminder: she’s just released a full length album called Of Art And Intention which you can […] This weekend is full of fun. Mega concert updates just happened. Check the showlist and get out there! Justin Ellis interviewed me for the first Know Your Blog interview, HillyTown edition at the Press Herald! (Which had an interesting week of its own). Portland Coffee Roasters (where we’ve enjoyed many a weekend morning serenade by […] Last weekend, Frontier Ruckus came through Portland for a gig at the White Heart, and they played a special backyard picnic pre-party at an undisclosed location in the West End. David Meiklejohn captured it on video, for those of us who were dettered by the rain. As you’ll see, there were plenty of people who […] Let’s get one more food post in, while we’re on a roll. Again we take an optimistic look at late night pizza options in Portland. The other day I spotted this Craigslist ad (thanks, job search rss feed!), and then the Psst! confirmed it: a new restaurant by the name of Otto’s Pizza would […] I know, two food-related posts in a row? I thought this was a music blog! Don’t worry, it is. I just enjoy food, as you may have noticed. Drinks, too. At El Rayo Taqueria (aka that new taco joint in Portland that’s really good) yesterday I noticed an interesting beverage on the drink menu: a […] |
