Halloween!

There’s a lot going on tonight! Unfortunately I have to mention that Brooklyn’s The Shondes won’t be appearing at Geno’s tonight as previously listed – they’ve had to cancel a few dates of their tour. That’s really a shame, but I expect we’ll see them back up here before long. Still a great show going […]

Updates On The Way!

My apologies for the lack of updates here on Hillytown. I was away last week and am trying to get caught up! Lots of options all weekend for Halloween… more on that later once I get everything listed!

Cougars, Antlers, Richman, oh my!

Don’t ever let anybody tell you that there’s nothing going on in Portland. Have you checked out the options for this weekend? It’s a veritable marathon of HillyTown-approved great music (funny, considering where I’ll be all next week.)

Starting tonight, there’s the release show for the new disc from Portland’s favorite garage punks Cougars […]

HillyTown on WMPG today!

I’ll be stopping by WMPG today as a guest on Liberation By Sound with DJ Roy. We’ll be playing selections from bands (both local and national) with upcoming shows in Portland. Some jams from Brooklyn bands are likely too! Listen in from 3-5pm today!

While you’re waiting for the show to start, why not check […]

Bubba’s The Boss

Portland’s own Bruce Springsteen Birthday Bash, Bruce-Fest, is going down this Saturday, September 27th at Bubba’s Sulky Lounge. I’d link to their website, but it seems to be down at the moment – no matter, you know where Bubba’s is (ahem, 92 Portland Street). Bands performing the songs of His Venerable Bossness Of NJ include […]

Cursillistas Tour This Week

As promised, we’re not only following shows that happen here in Portland, but also keeping an eye on our own local bands when they take to the road. This week, it’s the group at the center of the L’animaux Tryst collective: Cursillistas.

Catch the shape-shifting group of psychedellic folk experimentalists at around the Northeast […]

The Hilly Town Flickr Group Wants You

Do you take photos at shows in Portland? Do you photograph Portland bands when they’re on the road? If the answer to either of those questions is yes, then you should join the Hilly Town Flickr group. It’s an easy way to share your photos with other local music fans, check out bands you haven’t […]

Hello World, Hilly Town is Here

Welcome to Hilly Town, a place that will help you plan your indie rock (and then some) show-going activities in Portland.

There will be additions to the site as we go along, like venue and band profiles, but this seems like a good place to start. Please email me to share your site feedback and […]
