This week we’re bringing you two very different, very excellent shows in Southern Maine. Tuesday in Portland we have three bands with overlapping bits of metal, punk, hardcore, and even a bit of sludge, then Saturday in Biddeford things get upbeat, quirky, and even more fun. We’re excited to be welcoming back Goes Cube and […] 
As you know, local trio The Milkman’s Union are playing our HillyTown Presents show this weekend. The band has been hyperactive lately, unveiling a new EP and temporarily streaming a single (with guest appearance by Lady Lamb The Beekeeper) for fans in the past weeks. Here’s another treat from the band: a HillyTown exclusive video, […] Portland mind-expanding experimentalists Planets Around The Sun just unveiled the hypnotic new video for “Water Dub” that they’ve been hanging onto for a minute, so now we can all enjoy it. This isn’t some fancy filter on the video – it was shot this way. The band’s Ian Paige filmed “Water Dub” at the […] 
Some of you might be asking this question about the show happening tonight at SPACE Gallery… STRFKR After The Jump Fest CMJ Showcase, October 2008 – Knitting Factory, NYC It’s been a while since I’ve seen STRFKR live. The last time was where the above photo was taken, when the band played a […] 
Band: o’death / Hometown: Brooklyn, NY Show: Panache + Ernest Jenning Records / Venue: Red 7 + 512 / Date: 3/17 + 3/20 Currently in the midst of a North American tour, with European dates kicking off April 27, o’death are on the road (dates here) in support of their fantastic new record, Outside. […] Brenda is currently the band at the center of the Portland indie rock scene. With deep roots and infinite connections musically and socially that touch almost everybody who spends their nights practicing and playing shows in our many venues, the trio also happens to have a knack for writing catchy songs that share a piece […] Portland pop rock band Grand Hotel released a new video today for their track “Walken.” The storyline is pretty simple but fun and upbeat, much like the tune itself. Check it out. The guys have two local gigs coming up – this Saturday, March 12, they’ll be at Yankee Lanes for the MAMM Slam, then […] 
This Friday, Jakob Battick & Friends will play their last show for the next 6 months (doesn’t this sound familiar?) as they celebrate the release of their new EP, Bloodworm Songs. Check out the final packaged version of the album below: A while back we shared the group’s video for “Three Orphans,” from this […] The new clip for “Never Easy,” the first single off Zach Jones‘ upcoming album Broken Record, starts out innocent enough, but hang in there to see things go in an interesting direction. The song itself is super catchy in that satisfyingly fuzzy way that makes us think of the Foo Fighters. Enjoy. The “Never Easy” […] Here’s a little taste of what the sold out crowd at the State Theatre is in for tonight with Girl Talk… Read this NYT interview with Gregg Gillis (aka Girl Talk) where he talks about his double life, technology, and the fine art of bootlegging and remixing (and why it works). Things get started in […] Back in December our friend Nate Martinez (Brooklyn-based Thieving Irons) came through town and played a special acoustic show we put together at Mayo Street Arts. Check out this video below of Thieving Irons as a full band (including members of The National, Takka Takka, and Rocketship Park) playing on the Serious Business show on […] Looking for a great show to check out on Thursday? Here’s a solid bet: Nicole Atkins & The Black Sea (“Vultures” video above) are coming to town in support of the new album Mondo Amore. Even better, Cotton Jones are will be along to open the show. Just yesterday, they released a new ep, […] This little gem just surfaced on Facebook (thanks to Factory Portland) – check it out for a look back at what the Portland underground music scene looked like 15 years ago. Bonus video: a big rave (Hi, Kris Clark!) from “some unknown location in Portland” in 1993. […] Back in December, we hosted a criminally under-attended show of excellent acoustic music at Mayo Street Arts. The final performance of the night was from Jacob Augustine, whose band – The House Of Fire – had just fallen apart. This was about as intimate as a public concert could get, and those in the room […] |
