On Saturday night, South China (pictured above, after their set, in the first snow storm of the season) played their last show in New England for the winter. Today they headed south (to play at Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn with Greg Jamie, who they first shared the stage with in their until-today-hometown of Biddeford with his band Blood Warrior). Vince Nez (and The Last Sip) opened the show at the Apohadion on December 5th.
Read on for photos from South China’s set, which included help from a number of friends as they performed their excellent new album, Washingtons (Peapod Recordings), in its entirety. Read on… I have to say, Nick and Krister from Dog And Pony do some great work. They filmed all of the performances during my HillyTown OFFStage @ SPACE Gallery concert series last month and are rolling them out in episodes over at their website. This week they present “King Day” by Brooklyn’s Blood Warrior. Check it out below: Head over to their post for a large video and interview with the band. Today around 4pm, Liberation By Sound on WMPG will feature an interview with the creators of [dog] and [pony] in which they make a big announcement. Tune in!
It’s been a long, fun month for HillyTown. Thanks to all the bands who played the OFFStage free concert series at SPACE Gallery, Otto for the pizza deals, the artists who designed posters, Allen West for doing sound for pizza and cranberry juice, everybody who volunteered at the events, and everybody who came out to enjoy the free shows! Here are photos from the final one this past Wednesday, which featured White Light, Blood Warrior, and Mark Summers. Mark Summers White Light Blood Warrior Mark Summers
The past three Wednesdays have been a lot of fun, as each week three bands have played free shows on the floor at SPACE Gallery. Thanks so much to all the bands who’ve participated in this experiment, and everybody who has been coming out each week to enjoy the shows! Tomorrow sees the finale of the series, with what may be the oddest pairing off all. The show will begin with doors (and free pizza from Otto) at 7pm. Bands will be White Light, Blood Warrior (new o’death-related project playing their first shows this week, tonight they’re in Biddeford at Hogfarm Annex), and finally, Mark Summers. I figured that since the series started hard with Haru Bangs, it should probably go out with something a little loud and thrashy as well. Thanks to Jenny McGee Dougherty for the poster (above)! [dog] and [pony] has the first of three HillyTown Presents videos they’re producing available now, featuing Boxy, Haru Bangs, and Jesse Pilgrim, from the first two shows in this series. Great work all around over there so please take some time to check out their whole site. Did you catch the show last week? From Dead End Armory‘s recently re-trio-ed lineup to Happy Machines‘ electro fuzz pop to the excellent Phantom Buffalo/Computer At Sea collaboration, it was a bit of a dream lineup. I gotta say, it was pretty exciting when Phantom Computers launched into the song “A Hilly Town.” |
