On Thursday, A Robot put together a show with the theme of co-ed bands at Flask Lounge. Rio Bravo, a NH band that reminded me of Be Your Own Pet (or you could say a cross between YYYs and Gossip, but something about their sound was a bit more punk than the artier rock […] 
On Tuesday night, we welcomed the return of Brooklyn metal band Goes Cube back to Portland with a HillyTown Presents show at SPACE Gallery. Local party metal thrashers Waranimal and Peapod punks Huak rounded out the night of loud music. Waranimal are playing a show tonight at Geno’s, and Huak have a […] 
Deer Tick are one of those bands I associate with late nights, mixing whiskey with beer (this is not necessarily a recommendation), and wild afterparties, so it seemed a bit unnatural to show up at 6pm for a show they were headlining at Port City Music Hall. Openers (and fellow Providence band) Joe Fletcher […] 
No strangers to touring together, rockabilly legend The Reverend Horton Heat and hillbilly blues gang Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band (a trio, but pretty damn big nonetheless) tore through Portland with a stop at Port City Music Hall. With all due respect to the headliners, Peyton and company definitely stole the show, kicking over […] 
Chicago’s In Tall Buildings is the work of NOMO drummer, Erik Hall. On Monday, the trio played at The Oak + The Ax in Biddeford, with local openers Drab Pony (Jeremy Robinson of South China, accompanied by Ron Harrity) and if and it. Warm Rock (Single) by In Tall Buildings Read on for […] 
As you’ve already seen in parts 1 and 2 of our Free Range Music Festival photo coverage, we all had an incredible time in Belfast this weekend. This is the third and final installment of photos, which includes the HillyTown afterparty held at Three Tides. The party was a big success – in fact […] 
Here’s part 2 of our Free Range Music Festival photo coverage. Photos by Conall O’Brien, Emily Qualey, and Bryan Bruchman. Check out part one here. […] 
The HillyTown team (myself plus three wonderful photographers) had a great time this weekend in Belfast for the Free Range Music Festival. Don’t forget to keep on eye on Mike Cunnane’s blog Brass Cankles (always available on the right sidebar right here!) for videos from some of the bands playing the festival.Here’s the first […] 
Last night at Port City Music Hall, YouTube came to life in the form of the Digitour. Headlined by the likes of Dave Days, Destorm, Ricky Ficarelli, and Kimmi Smiles, the show also included a spot by the duo Karmin (pictured above – Nick is from Old Town, ME). Read on for a […] 
We already know about a healthy dose of live music action on Portland’s waterfront, but up in Bangor (about 2 hours away), the summer is even more packed with waterfront shows. Besides KahBang and the American Folk Festival, Waterfront Concerts has a whole series of events happening on their temporary stage, starting this weekend. […] 
On a night packed with great shows around town (and in Biddeford!) we headed out to One Longfellow Square for our first time working with the venue that we’ve tend to think of as one of the classier performance spaces in Portland on Saturday night. Recent Kill Rock Stars signees Milagres were the headliner, […] 
Once again, Maine rapper Spose brought his party to Port City Music Hall. The PDank Presents show also featured Cam Groves (who was the other half of the team behind the free 4/20 release We Smoked It All 2) and Educated Advocates. Read on for a full gallery from the gig by David Zwickerhill! […] 
Were you at the sold out Iron & Wine show at the State Theatre tonight? As predicted, they did make a limited number of tickets available at the last minute, so hopefully everybody who wanted to get in to see it was able to! HillyTown photographer David Zwickerhill was there to capture these […] 
I saw a lot of great bands a SXSW this year, so I’ll keep working on sharing that with you. Here’s another one! Band: Yellow Ostrich / Hometown:NYC Show: Billions / Venue: Antone’s / Date: 3/18 Alex Schaaf is a resourceful man. When we first encountered his project, Yellow Ostrich, it was a solo […] 
STRFKR I love a good dance party. That’s exactly what tonight’s show at SPACE turned into. From the Vistas kicking it off and keeping things moving between bands with a sweet mix of samples and beats both familiar and new (come experience their full-on party abilities with us April 30 in Belfast) to […] |
