I’ll be away all next week, running around like crazy in Austin for the South By Southwest Music Festival. As far as I can tell, the only Maine band playing the festival (officially) is Sparks The Rescue. Showgoing options for tonight are plentiful: If you’re into awesome pop music and are feeling fancy (and can […] On the first Friday of each month, the streets of downtown Portland fill up with people taking advantage of exhibits, performances, and other attractions during the First Friday Art Walk. Since May of last year, the monthly festivities have had a soundtrack provided by local musicians, playing high above the street in John Fountain‘s […] This week’s roundup is brought to you by Darkchild 99. After tonight’s First Friday Art Walk (don’t forget to check out the Tower of Song – today’s special guest is Phantom Buffalo! – read this Arthur Mag piece about the monthly event), head over to the Port City Music Hall for our big show (presented […] I know this may seem a little out of the ordinary for HillyTown, but I figured I’d give it a try and see how you all like it. Duncan Sheik may be a bit outside my usual realm of music coverage, but I really like the illustrations and animation style of the video for “Earthbound […] It’s no secret that we’re excited for tonight’s big show at SPACE (PHX preview here). Definitely come out for what’s sure to be a fun night. Pinatas, cupcakes, guest performers that even I don’t know about, and a 99% chance of pantslessness. Sure it’s technically a birthday party (for myself and Jess at SPACE) but […] It’s been an eventful week around here (and it all culminates tomorrow with the big party). The fun started on Sunday at Slainte with Poingly, Eric Hnatow, Rotundo Sealeg, and a room full of dancing maniacs who braved a pretty heavy snowstorm to come out and party. […] As we start to see the end of February in sight, HillyTown.com brings you a string of events sure to keep you toasty. It all starts with a free show this Sunday night at Slainte that will get you dancing. Featuring Poingly (from Brooklyn, electro spazz-dance pop gems and jams), Eric Hnatow (from Northampton, MA, […] House shows are the best. Even with a broken leg, the Scrapes brought the dance party to a post-Valentines/DoorYard benefit living room show in Portland on Sunday night. It was actually the quietest dance party I’ve ever been to, and a lot of fun. Before the Scrapes turned the joint into a shuffle […] If you turn your eyeballs slightly to the right, you’ll see new flyers for our three upcoming events in Portland. Check them out and come say hi! Ok, on to the Roundup: Maine! The Press Herald published their “10 To Watch” list for 2009, giving their rundown of 10 (newish) Portland bands on the […] At Sunday night’s show at Meg Perry Center in Portland, Lady Lamb The Beekeeper played what was supposedly their last show for a few months. The Brunwick/Old Orchard Beach duo plan to spend the next two or three months focusing on writing and recording new songs. It’s been a great streak for the band […] Words by Dylan Martin, photos by Stephanie Elizabeth. The BUOY Gallery is a relatively new performance venue located in Kittery, Maine. From the moment I stepped inside I noticed how tremendously DIY the venue is, with colored clamp lights from Wal-Mart and Peavey speakers stacked onto milk crates. This made for an immensely warm […] Happy First Friday, Portland! Did you know that HillyTown has a Facebook group now? Portland Maine music and internet news: After a few false starts and soft openings, the Port City Music Hall is officially holding their grand opening tonight with a sold out show by the Derek Trucks Band. The band has new video […] We had the second official HillyTown.com Presents event at Slainte on Friday, January 30th, 2009, with the help of local party-starter Neon Garden. The show started with a blistering 15-minute set of snotty thrash punk from Ye (listed on the show as Data Entry, but I guess they mutated into a whole new beast […] On Saturday, January 31st, South China and Jakob Battick played in the Hastings Formal Lounge at the USM Gorham campus. This was the first show in a new concert series at the University Of Southern Maine Gorham Campus. All photos in this post by Stephanie Elizabeth Photography. More after the jump. […] |
