This Sunday, August 5, they’re stopping at Union Hall in . . . → Read More: HillyTown NYC Presents: The Rattlesnakes + Troubled Sleep + The Split! 
This will be the last one for a little while. Tonight’s show at Cameo Gallery (located in the back of the restaurant The Lovin’ Cup Cafe on N. 6th) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn has been in the works for a while and we couldn’t be more excited to present this one. Things start off . . . → Read More: HillyTown Presents NYC Tonight! 
Great Western Plain @ Union Hall Wow. Another awesome show with Maine and Brooklyn bands last night. Sometimes we feel like we’re getting away with something having this much fun. A great turnout and top notch performances from Field Mouse, Great Western Plain, and Shark? (plus some killer jams from the WHAT DJ?! team . . . → Read More: HillyTown Presented in Brooklyn [2.22.12] 
Two masks, two duos, a dance contest, and flowers? Yup, sounds like a HillyTown Presents show. At least on Tuesday night at Union Hall in Brooklyn, NY it was.

This year, HillyTown will celebrate its 4th year.

Noticing a theme here? On Wednesday, December 15, Lady Lamb and The Milkman’s Union (who have been recording together in Brooklyn) kicked off a brief tour at Union Hall in Park Slope along with their local pals Cuddle Magic.

This is how the internet and music discovery works now: over the past few months we’ve noticed the words Coke Weed popping up every so often thanks to Facebook’s slightly creepy stream-of-consciousness system and our fine network of Maine musicians ranging from bedroom poppers and diy noisenicks to arena rockers. It took a minute to . . . → Read More: Coke Weed Interview 
It’s totally just a coincidence that 75% of our live music coverage here on HillyTown lately has been about Lady Lamb the Beekeeper and o’death (that other 25% apparently goes to Astronautalis – a trend that will likely continue), but we happen to love both of those acts so no complaints here. This weekend, . . . → Read More: Lady Lamb and o’death Played Brooklyn [10.9.11] 
One of the first acts to really land on our radar at HillyTown and make a big impact was Lady Lamb The Beekeeper.

This week, I . . . → Read More: Lady Lamb Brooklyn Studio Visit, SPACE Saturday!
