Brass Cankles Videos On HillyTown

Our friend Mike Cunnane (a member of Huak, the Rattlesnakes, and Sunset Hearts) has been shooting video of local bands at shows and posting them on his new site, Brass Cankles. As you may have noticed, these videos can also be found here on HillyTown, if you scroll down past the showlist on the right […]

Ray LaMontagne On Conan

There were a surprising number of good shows last night in Portland for a Wednesday, but while most of us were out rocking out at venues, I’m sure many more were at home watching a favorite of many Mainers on TV. Ray LaMontagne & The Pariah Dogs made an appearance on Conan O’Brien‘s show to […]

Screamales Are Back

Screaming Females at Death By Audio (Brooklyn, NY) January ’08

I would say I can’t believe that Screaming Females just made their late night network tv debut (on Carson Daly), but I can believe it. I’m so glad that they just happen to love the city I left the NY/NJ area for and […]

New Jakob Battick & Friends Video – “Three Orphans”

This track, “Three Orphans,” will be on the group’s March 2011 EP, Bloodworm Songs. Check Bandcamp for that and much more from the ever-shifting world of Jakob Battick’s music.

New Milkman’s Union Video

Yesterday I got word of a new video from one of the local bands that’s been impressing me the most lately: The Milkman’s Union. This performance video of “Brooks Robinson” was shot & edited by Luke Delahanty.

The band just wrapped up a weekend mini-tour of New England this past weekend with more regional […]

Live Foam Castles Video

I just missed Foam Castles‘ set at Empire last night, but luckily another fan caught this song, “My Merona,” on video. While the band works on their new album, get a preview of outtakes, demos, and other tracks at Soundcloud.

In case you need a refresher, check out the profile we did on Foam […]

Waranimal Beach Party Video

I heard the Blndsght Tattoo shop closing party was wild, but this is way crazier than I could have imagined. Shoulda gone. The Waranimal guys party again, Hawaiian shirt-style, on the 29th at SPACE.

New Spose Video – “Can’t Get There From Here”

I guess I must be coming around to Maine’s most popular rapper, check out the video for his (second? third? thousandth?) single, “Can’t Get There From Here.” But before you get too excited, no, it’s not an […]

Another Lady Lamb Video

This time it’s a bit more official than the shaky live video I posted the other day. Apparently Aly has made it down to Brooklyn, where she filmed this single-take video for “Between Two Trees.” Check it out:

Lady Lamb The Beekeeper Covered Edward Sharpe

It was a pretty fitting end to what’s been a busy couple of years for Aly Spaltro, aka Lady Lamb The Beekeeper, as she closed out her Farewell extravaganza at SPACE Gallery on Friday, 10/29/10 with a massive group performance of “Home” by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. She was joined […]

Farewell Lady Lamb Video

Our friends at [dog] and [pony] produced a performance video for Lady Lamb The Beekeeper just in time for her grand “Farewell” show at SPACE Gallery tomorrow (Friday, 10/29). She’ll be heading to Cambridge to finish her album before moving on to try her hand at NYC. We wish her luck.

In The Audience Video – “For Girls”

In The Audience are young band in Portland who seem to be working hard to make things happen for themselves. They played a reportedly great show at Port City Music Hall this week (sorry I had to miss it!) and have an upcoming release show at Empire with Pomegranates on 10/16. Check out the band’s […]
