By peter, on November 2nd, 2011% Who Hyena/Cowboy Band/Guerilla Toss/Frank Hurricane When Friday, November 4, 2011 7:00pm – All Ages Where Poland Street (map) 26 Poland Street Portland, ME, USA
diy house shows
Other InfoHyena is the brainchild of the mad scientist Colby Nathan. Colby rotates outfits, plays guitar, and loops his voice along with sounds from toys for children. As this is going on, Dylan Kumnick plays the drums like an octopus and adds the avalanche factor.
Guerilla Toss are a mysterious force from Mass. They makes lots of awesome noise and will make yours ears say “OOOOOOOH!”
The Cowboy Band are three music students from the New England Conservatory of Music. They play really noisy free jazz songs using old cowboy tunes (there’s beans on the fire momma!) for a guideline.
Frank Hurricane is the holiest of the gangstas. Hailing from that holy White Haus in Jamaica Plizzanes, Frank spreads joy and love with his Robert Plantesque vocals and fingerpicking shrimpin.
This is going to be an awesome show with music that most people in Portland haven’t heard before, it deserves your love and attendance.

By Hilly Town, on February 21st, 2011% Who Animal Hospital / Planets Around The Sun / Of The Trees When Saturday, March 26, 2011 6:00pm – $5 – All Ages Where Poland Street (map) 26 Poland Street Portland, ME, USA
diy house shows
Other InfoANIMAL HOSPITAL -The world renowned (really!) music of Kevin Micka.- “During performances, Micka buries himself in a pile of electronics-shelves of effects, mixing consoles, amps and delay units-while patiently constructing a layered nest of loops consisting of live drum beats, guitar chords, scrapes, chucks, chimes, and melodies resulting in anything from more conventional songs to meticulously crafted ambient movements on to full on improvisation.”
Listen here:http://www.animalhospitalmusic.com/music.html
PLANETS AROUND THE SUN
Droning, turning, advancing, receding, melting, growing, flowing, bending, sounds from beyond the imagination. I heard something about them doing a noise set for this show and I love the idea of that.
Listen here: http://planetsaroundthesun.bandcamp.com/
OF THE TREES
Ambient hip-hop, trip-hop, flip-hop. Great stuff. Local musician Tyler Coombs mans the gadgets (I say gadgets because I really don’t know anything about making electronic music) and puts you on ice nicely. Keeps it fresh and real, for real.
Listen here: http://www.myspace.com/ofthetreesmusic
This is going to be a very unique show, the first one of it’s kind that we’ve had at Poland St.
5 bux at the door pleaseandthankya
IF YOU CAN’T SWIM, DRONE.

Screaming Females win the award for national act that could be mistaken for a Portland local band, judging by the reaction of fans at their shows. Every time they come around it’s as if there’s a sigh of relief from the punk and indie rock-loving fans who hold their breath between visits.

Last night (February 3, 2011) somebody said this show was “highly blogable.” Well, here’s the blog post about it, so I guess they were right.
