I tried to get photos and interviews for all 9 acts performing at tomorrow’s Tower Of Song Festival (Saturday, May 23) and definitely came close, though a couple didn’t quite get finished. Below is a photo of the band that will close out the festival, Spencer And The School Spirit Mafia, taken at the incredible Temptations Vs. Supremes Clash Of The Titans the other night.
Additionally, Chriss Sutherland was totally cooperative but our schedules just didn’t work out to do a photo shoot. The photo below is from an outdoor concert last summer. Chriss has a new album called Worried Love, available now from Peapod Recordings. He plays the Tower Of Song Festival second, at 12:35.
Since I’m skipping the usual HillyTown Roundup this week in lieu of the Tower Of Song Fest coverage, here are just a few other shows of note happening this weekend:
As a final treat, since Dilly Dilly, Sontiago, and Lady Lamb The Beekeeper are all going to be performing at the Tower Of Song Fest, here’s a shot of their collaborative alter-ego, Hairy Brass Knuckles. You may remember them from this.
To review, here are all of the Tower Of Song Festival performer HillyTown portraits & interviews: Jesse Pilgrim, Chriss Sutherland, Anna’s Ghost, Samuel James, Over A Cardboard Sea, Dilly Dilly & Sontiago, Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, Johnny Fountain & The Manes, Spencer & The School Spirit Mafia. Happy Summer! I’ll be away all next week, running around like crazy in Austin for the South By Southwest Music Festival. As far as I can tell, the only Maine band playing the festival (officially) is Sparks The Rescue. Showgoing options for tonight are plentiful: If you’re into awesome pop music and are feeling fancy (and can get by without any booze at an 18+ show), head to Port City Music Hall for OK Go. Opening are Oppenheimer (Irish indie pop) and Longwave (epic NYC indie rock). Longwave just released a video for the song “No Direction” of their ’08 release, Secrets Are Sinister. Doors have been pushed up to 7pm, with Oppenheimer on at 8, Longwave at 8:45, and OK Go at 10! Word is there may be some sort of afterparty at the White Heart. SPACE is hosting a killer lineup, headlined by the Islands+Tune-Yards-related Sister Suvi (their new release, Now I Am Champion is excellent and not to be missed). Opening are Shapes and Sizes and one of our favorite locals, Lady Lamb The Beekeeper. Over at Geno’s it’s revenge of the 48 Hours Music Fest, as Prism Camp transitions officially from one-time project to a real band, joining Moneycastasia, I, Barbarian, and the new (Cougars Kill Cobras rhythm section, mutated) Harubangs for a heavy night of rock. On to a brief roundup… Portland!
Otherly:
I may update at some point from Texas next week. I wouldn’t expect a roundup though – see you all back on the 23rd! |
