HillyTown.com has teamed up with Neon Garden (whose parties at the White Heart […] Thursday, January 22, 2009 ended up being the first public event at the newly opened Port City Music Hall.

[…] Sure, there was that whole inauguration thing that got people all giddy this week, but let’s not forget that while the country was getting a new leader and Clear Channel was not-so-quietly slashing jobs, other stuff was happening in the music world! Check it out… Portland-related music news: Local metal titans Ocean got some love […] When I first heard about Mission Of Burma coming to Portland I had to respond with “THE Mission Of Burma?!” Luckily it wasn’t just a cleverly named event at SPACE, but one of my all-time favorite bands had actually just booked a show. Word is that the opening bands, Huak (who I’ve told in the […] Looks like something must not have worked out at the last minute. The soft opening of the new venue in town, Port City Music Hall – which we got a preview of this week, was scheduled to happen tomorrow, Saturday, January 17. It has been pushed back one week to Saturday, January 24th. Here’s the […] Another NY import! Picking up right where I left off with my last late-night-snacking-option review, I headed down to see what kind of progress was being made at the future home of Papaya King at 5 Dana Street (map) in the Old Port (formerly Big Mama’s Diner). More photos for this post can be […] The Port City Music Hall at 504 Congress Street is gearing up for their first event this weekend. As I’ve mentiond before, there’s been a lot of speculation about exactly what this new venue will bring to the Portland music scene. The initial schedule hints at a diverse range of music, including reggae, indie rock, […] Good news for fans of Slà inte Wine Bar! The Bollard reports that the recent debacle involving police sting operations, city council meetings, and rumors of a denied liquor license is all a thing of the past, and in fact turned out to be one big misunderstanding on the city’s part. Whoopsies! Anyway, we say […] pizza food snacking “joe’s new york pizza” […] I’ll be upgrading some of the behind-the-scenes gizmos here at HillyTown later today, so if you happen to see something funny going on here, just check back later in the day or tomorrow, when everything should be back to normal – and even better – working order! Update: I just completed the upgrade and everything […] This week’s episode of BreakThruRadio‘s program Spotlight On The City takes a look at our very own scene here in Portland, Maine.

Special thanks to the bands that played – Huak, Cougars Kill Cobras, and Brooklyn’ Cinema, Cinema. Check out the full photo gallery from the event here. Keep a lookout for […] Months ago the Port City Music Hall announced, via signs in the window of their perpetually-reconstructing space, that a Fall opening was imminent. A couple weeks ago the report came out that the big unveiling would go down on New Years, but this week the Phoenix announced that the date had been pushed back […] Returning about a year after the fact to the South Portland band they put in the spotlight with a feature once before, NY-based music blog Stereogum has a brand new recording from Fire On Fire available here.
