Computer At Sea Tonight, Plus Xylos Early

Hopefully you already know about the big Computer At Sea record (as in vinyl!) release show tonight at Geno’s. Hi Tiger and Power Lines will be on hand to help (CAS’s) Galen Richmond celebrate the release of Palace Of The Lightbulbs.

Looking to get your music fix for synthy pop started a bit early tonight (or still dancing from last night)? Head to Slainte for 8pm, when NYC’s Xylos will play. If any HillyTown readers out there happen to snap some photos at either of these shows, we’d love to see them. Drop a link in the comments or email us!

New Computer At Sea Album… Available Now!

Seemingly out of nowhere, Computer At Sea‘s Galen Richmond just wrote to let us know that his brand new album, Palace of the Lightbulbs, is now available online for name-your-own-price via Bandcamp. It’s great to finally hear these songs that have been live staples for so long in finished, recorded form. The vinyl edition of the album will be available in late April.

Computer At Sea currently has two Portland shows coming up: Friday, March 11 opening for Dan Deacon at SPACE Gallery, and Tuesday, March 15 at The Apohadion with The Shortsleeves and The Gloaming.

HillyTown OFFStage at SPACE Part 3 Tonight!

aug19-annielarmon-370

As we get into the third installment of the our month-long Wednesday night free, all ages concert series, OFFStage @ SPACE, we reach a very special one. This show’s headliners are calling themselves Phantom Computers (and as you can see in Annie Godfrey Larmon‘s poster for the event, a Buffalo At Sea provides the other half of the clue to just what that band might be) and the collaboration they have in store should be pretty special. Rumor has it that the song that inspired this very website’s name may be involved.

The middle act of the night is an out-of-town band once again, this time Happy Machines from Red Bank, NJ. They’re a super fun electro-fuzz pop duo who I’ve wanted to get up to Portland for some time now, and it was finally able to happen. Don’t miss them. Get a preview of them in action here (I’ll be expecting awesome dancing like the fan in the video at the show tonight).

Opening the show are Dead End Armory, the ever-evolving Wesley Hartley-front rock trio.

See you tonight!
