HillyTown Presented: Mayo Street (+ BBQ) [7.29.11]

Two things I love are music and food, so this event was a chance to pair the two. Despite some threatening clouds and occasional drizzle (oh, and that sold out Beirut show across town), the pre-show backyard BBQ we set up at Mayo Street Arts on Friday went off without a hitch, and music […]

Mayo Street Show Preview (in Videos)

Here’s a video preview of what we’ve put together for you tonight at Mayo Street Arts in Portland. Three excellent acts that you may or may not be aware of already, plus a pre-show stuff-yr-face BBQ party in the backyard (or maybe inside depending on the weather) with both meaty and veggie treats from Deux […]

HillyTown Presented: Lovers [6.4.11]

Lovers

With a busy schedule of HillyTown Presents shows over the past couple of months, we’ve had the opportunity to work with some great local and national acts, including longtime favorites and bands we were seeing for the first time. This past Saturday in Biddeford, we brought you Lovers – a trio from Portland, OR […]

HillyTown Presents: Lovers (and more) Saturday!

HillyTown Presents: Lovers + Tree Streets + Jose Ayerve

Portland, Oregon-based electro-pop trio Lovers have set out on an ambitious two month long national tour that brings them to Biddeford tomorrow for this exciting HillyTown Presents triple bill tomorrow night (6/4) at The Oak + The Ax in Biddeford. We’re excited about our new friends from the other Portland, but don’t skip out […]

Project Jenny Project Jan (and more) Will Make You Dance. Tonight!

This show has been a long time in the making. I’d actually had them penciled in to play in Portland two years ago, but they got snatched up by Fujiya & Miyagi (who they collaborated with for “Pins And Needles“) for a world tour. Their latest album, Home Sweet Home, is a bit smoother […]

HillyTown Presented at The Oak and The Ax [5.14.11]

Saturday night was a busy one for music, with lots of great events happening around Portland, but we headed out of town for some fun at the Oak + the Ax in Biddeford. Miniboone (who played one of our OFFStage shows last year) were up from NYC and joined by the excellent Bangor rock […]

HillyTown Presented at SPACE [5.10.11]

On Tuesday night, we welcomed the return of Brooklyn metal band Goes Cube back to Portland with a HillyTown Presents show at SPACE Gallery. Local party metal thrashers Waranimal and Peapod punks Huak rounded out the night of loud music.

Waranimal are playing a show tonight at Geno’s, and Huak have a […]

New Huak Maxi-Single “Ex Ghost”

What a way to put out a new single: Portland’s post-punk prodigees, Huak, just released a brand new song, “Ex Ghost,” but aren’t content to leave it at just one track with a b-side or two. Instead, they threw in 8 different remixes of the track by local artists, all peppered with more new (improvised) […]

HillyTown Presents This Week: Metal/Punk Tuesday + Indie Rock Saturday!

This week we’re bringing you two very different, very excellent shows in Southern Maine. Tuesday in Portland we have three bands with overlapping bits of metal, punk, hardcore, and even a bit of sludge, then Saturday in Biddeford things get upbeat, quirky, and even more fun. We’re excited to be welcoming back Goes Cube and […]

Photo Recap: Free Range Fest [4.30.11] – Part 3

As you’ve already seen in parts 1 and 2 of our Free Range Music Festival photo coverage, we all had an incredible time in Belfast this weekend. This is the third and final installment of photos, which includes the HillyTown afterparty held at Three Tides. The party was a big success – in fact […]
