The parade of Portland bands stopping by our pal Travis Harrison’s podcast/video show Serious Business on BreakThru Radio just keeps on rolling. This time around it’s Brenda – by special request of The Milkman’s Union. The guys hit the studio to record 4 songs and talk to Travis the day after playing a show at Fort Useless in Brooklyn. Fun fact: Fort Useless is named after the excellent album In Defense of Fort Useles by Travis’ band, The Unsacred Hearts. Enjoy the video below, and go here for the full podcast. Thanks for the mention, Travis! When The Milkman’s Union were in town to record with and do a short tour alongside Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, I stopped by the studio to make this quick single shot video with frontman Henry Jamison. The track, “Bright and Future,” was recorded during a break on the Lady Lamb project at Let ‘Em In Music with engineer Nadim Issa. Enjoy! You have two chances to catch The Milkman’s Union in Southern Maine in the coming months: January 7 at Frontier in Brunswick, and Feburary 24 at SPACE in Portland. Look for a new record from the band later this Spring. Portland supergroup Sunset Hearts are apparently at work on the followup to Haunted Cloud. Here’s a short tease of a clip with the band listening back to some new recordings. Here’s yet another new local music video! Jacob Augustine (who just released three albums) unveiled the appropriately moody clip for his track “Waco” (the lead on The Original Love today. Awaas – a Portland supergroup of sorts with members of Ocean and Confier – recently released a video for their latest song, “Burial Ground,” which the band tells us addresses the “themes of anti-nationalism, disdain for intellectual property, and willful disobedience of the dominant music industry.” Archival footage from this year’s London Riots – notably the burning of the SonyDADC/Pias Group distribution warehouse, which crippled a number of independent labels with the destruction of their catalogs and stock – was used to create the clip. Awaas plays SPACE Gallery this Saturday with Haru Bangs, Falls of Rauros, and the Baltic Sea. See you there. Poor Kurt Baker, somebody stole his heart! Ferdinand is turning 10, so we made this video. Check it out, and go to their party this Saturday (8/20) from 5pm-8pm! The Farthest Forests recently played our show at Mayo Street Arts and they’ve just released this playful video for their infectious song, “Run Through The Forest.” Enjoy! Portland musician Samuel James has just released a new video for his song “Nineteen.” The clip was directed by local filmmaker Allen Baldwin and features a refreshing mix of live footage and studio shots for the sparse blues song. Samuel James plays in Portland this Friday with G. Love at the Maine State Pier and again on July 22 at One Longfellow. |
