Mckeensstreet Music is a Portland-based label with a small but growing roster of acts across the country (you are likely well-acquainted with their arguably most well-known group, Brenda) and they’ve been smart with promotion through free album downloads. Today, they released Bloodline Totem Poles, the debut album from Horse Thief, aka Chad Chamberlain. Fans of Yo La Tengo, Elliott Smith, Grizzly Bear’s Horn Of Plenty, and tape hiss will love these recordings and I highly recommend checking them out. Go here to get the download. Watch a video for album closer “Die Young” below. Check out Horse Thief on Facebook, and read the Horse Thief blog. Wesley Hartley, of Dead End Armory (who are, I believe, on hiatus), has quietly released a free, 10-song solo acoustic album through his art website. The album, Quiver Spoked Largely Eyed, can be downloaded (one track at a time unless you upgrade your account) from here. Catch him live at SPACE Gallery in December opening for AA Bondy or at the Dog and Pony Show DVD release show!
I’m a big fan of free music, especially when a cool venue gets creative and finds fun new ways to use their space for something a little different (in August I’ll be putting my money where my mouth is when it comes to this idea, more on that in the coming weeks). In the spirit of getting people in the door and providing entertainment on off-nights, Port City Music Hall has started a Front Lounge Music Series, featuring acoustic music and DJ nights. Admission to all of these typically 8pm to 1am events is free, though they remain 21+, like all events at the venue. Read on for the full initial schedule… Read on… |
