Dilly Dilly has been through so many music scenes over the years, from touring the world with Cerberus Shoal (her former bandmate from that group, Chriss Sutherland, is also on this festival) to backing Sage Francis to teaming up with Sontiago (who she shares the 3:40pm slot with at this Saturday’s Tower Of Song Fest), […] As the latest addition to the (Tower Of Song-connected) Eternal Otter Records roster, Anna’s Ghost take the otherwise upbeat collective in a more somber, dramatic direction than some of the other acts involved. The group closes out the first set of the all-day festival tomorrow with a 1:10pm set. Photos by Bryan Bruchman, interviews by […] Portland’s own queen of hip-hop, Sontiago is often joined by her partner-in-rhyme (sorry, couldn’t help it), Dilly Dilly. The two share the 3:40pm slot at this Saturday’s Tower Of Song Fest. I’ve gotta say, this was a really fun shoot… Photos by Bryan Bruchman, interviews by Will Ethridge. What was the most unusual place […] One of the central players in the Tower Of Song scene, Johnny Fountain plays host to the events, including Saturday’s festival, using his apartment as the venue from which the music is amplified throughout the streets of Portland. Along with his band, The Manes, Fountain lands in the penultimate slot on the festival, playing at […] Photos by Bryan Bruchman, interviews by Will Ethridge. Let the music speak for itself! Come on down to the Tower of Song and get your copy of Over A Cardboard Sea’s free mix CD! (the band lands right in the middle of the festival, playing at 3:05pm). What was the most unusual place you’ve […] In an effort to help spread the word about the Tower Of Song Festival happening this Saturday, May 23rd, this is an introduction to the artists who will be performing above the corner of Congress and High throughout the day. Photos by Bryan Bruchman, interviews by Will Ethridge. The first performer of the festival will […] Did you catch the first of our new contributor Biscuit Wakefield’s chocolate chip cookie reviews? HillyTown aint just music, after all. The Maine Comic Arts Festival is happening this Sunday, May 17! Head to the Ocean Gateway to meet some of your favorite comic artist and check out the panels and workshops they’re offering! In […] A week ago, Swedish band The Sounds tore through Portland, treating Port City Music Hall like the biggest arena in the world. Their show may have been a bit over the top, but hey, it sure looked and sounded great! Check out the full photo gallery from the show (which also included openers Hey […] In the past, MENSK has organized truck shows during the First Friday Art Walk here in Portland, during which a truck drove around to various spots in town while a band played out of the back of it. For the most recent First Friday (May 1, 2009), they changed the formula slightly, packing a […] Photos from the Boyfriends, Inc. show at Bubba’s last week are now online. Two of the best shows I’ve seen in a while here in Portland were hip-hop shows this week. Both were also sorely under attended. Granted, they happened mid-week, but that’s no excuse. The locals (DJ Mayonnaise, Brzowski, Moshe) all brought top-notch performances, and the touring acts they were supporting were just unbelievable. As […] A few quickies for you: Tomorrow (Monday, April 27th) there are already a few great shows happening, but we just added another one for you. Beginning at 6pm at Slainte, HillyTown presents La Societe Expeditionnaire artist Lewis & Clarke, with Dylan Metrano (Tiger Saw / Tiny Fires) opening. Some details for the Wilco show […] Update: Just heard from Dup Crosson of Saint Solitude with the bad news that his tour started off with a good show but a bad end to the night: his car window was smashed and many personal items were stolen, including clothes, cd’s, and all of the merch that he had with him to sell […] The big music news and happenings this weekend are mostly centered around the annual Record Store Day, which goes down tomorrow, Saturday the 18th (also of note is the unrelated show at Hogfarm), at record shops around the country! Local celebrations start early, with an appearance by Ani Difranco at the Scarborough Bull Moose […] |
