Sure, this was almost three months ago, but that sounds like a good time to reminisce a bit.

I almost can’t believe there’s still a few more days left to this week. We’ve been so happy with/excited about everything already, and can’t wait to see how the rest comes together. Tonight’s a big one, returning to the venue that easily takes the title of favorite/best/most amazing place in the universe (sure I’m biased, . . . → Read More: HillyTown Week Halfway, SPACE Tonight! 
According to the internet rumor mill, tonight will be the last Mango Floss show ever. They’ve been a favorite Portland band of ours for the past year (I believe we dubbed them our “house band” because we just kept booking them a few times in a row last Fall), so we’re sad to see them . . . → Read More: HillyTown Presents, Tonight At Geno’s!

This will be the last one for a little while.

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.
