Maybe it didn’t turn out to be such a Hot August Night (the slightly wet weather and wind kept the live music inside on the lower deck of the boat) but we still had a great party on the Casablanca Sunday Night. Thank you so much to Peapod Recordings, SPACE Gallery, if and it, Foam Castles, Huak, Mango Floss, Metal Feathers, DJ pEACFANg, DJ Cutlass, VJ Dave J, and everybody who came out to party with us for making it an amazing night on Casco Bay! Read on for a full (massive) photo gallery. Read on…
This past weekend at SPACE Gallery, the Somerville, MA-based psych/shoegaze festival, Deep Heaven Now, landed in Portland for two days. Check out photos from the first day, which included Quilt, MMOSS, Foam Castles, 28 Degrees Taurus, and Metal Feathers. Mister Chris & the Instant Animals (or is it Mystery?) opened the night. Read on… And the current Portland music scene goes 100% self-referential… What next, will Sunset Hearts cover Brenda? (Actually, I like where this could go). Oh hey, Metal Feathers kinda put out a new, free Go see them for just $2 at Port City on 2/15 with Spouse. I was away for the weekend and am still catching up. Jon Donnell was at the HillyTown Presents show last Thursday at the Apohadion and took these photos: Jon was ALSO at the Mayo Street Arts event on Saturday, a concert that included Asian Mae, Thunderbow/Brushes With Death, and Hobgoblin. Check out his photos: The new venue has announced another show, this time taking it in a more electronic direction, with Computer At Sea and id m theftable. That should definitely be interesting in that space! Also, there is currently an art studio/small office space available in the building, so if you’re interested take a look here! I know it’s a bit of a busy night around town, but I’ve got a great show for you, and it starts early (7pm). If you haven’t checked out The Apohadion yet, this is a great opportunity. See you tonight!
Tomorrow, El Jezel and Metal Feathers pair up again in Allston for a show at O’Briens. If you fall madly in love with the Jezels tonight (you just might), you could even go so far as to follow them all the way back to NYC, where on Saturday they open for Man In Gray (my old band) at our reunion show at Union Hall. Also tonight, though many miles away, our own Dilly Dilly will be wowing the East Village crowd with a show at The Stone, curated by Kayo Dot’s Toby Driver.
Word is that the TWO Local Music Series at Port City Music Hall (Tuesdays, two bands, $2 cover, $2 beers) is going well (see photos from last week’s Dilly Dilly + Lady Lamb show there)… and in the interest of a bit of self-promo, here’s the flyer (above) for tomorrow’s installment of the concert series, featuring Marie Stella (the band I play in) with Metal Feathers. MF have a new jam up on their myspace called “City Hall” which I highly recommend you go and listen to, like right now. Very good. However, before that, there’s tonight. Chicago’s Maps & Atlases are at SPACE with openers Brenda and Dead Man’s Clothes, who will be making their SPACE debut, so come out and support them! I haven’t put on a show in a while. Let’s do this.
Phantom Buffalo + Metal Feathers + El Jezel As I tend to do, this show includes one band from away. El Jezel are an indie pop/shoegaze band from NYC who I’ve known for a few years now and whose lush songs will fit nicely between Metal Feathers’ noisier edge and Phantom Buffalo’s psychedelic indie pop. They’ll play between the two local bands at this show on Thursday, February 18 at the Apohadion Theater (107 Hanover Street, Portland). See you there! |
