While on tour overseas, this website’s favorite band ever, Phantom Buffalo, played a few songs for the French site Citazine, including the below gem of a great rendition of their song “A Hilly Town.” Check out the rest of the videos, including an amusing interview, here. That was pretty much all I wanted to say. Thanks to everyone involved.  Phantom Buffalo at the Rock Shop - Brooklyn, NY Ready for tomorrow night at Trash Bar? For now, I’m heading out to see more bands. Full photo galleries/videos/etc from all of this fun nonsense at some point in the future, of course. You know I love Phantom Buffalo, and I hope you do too. Tomorrow night sees the release of their long-awaited new album, Cement Postcard With Owl Colors with a show at Empire (Same Basic Bear and Chris And The Instant Animals open). Get a preview of the new (or at least newly released on record) jams here and check out the show! Ps. I have a photo recap from KahBang last weekend in the pipeline – look for that here on Monday! Portland’s premier indie psych-popsters (and this site’s namesake) Phantom Buffalo have made a video promoting their upcoming LP, Cement Postcard With Owl Colours. It’s colorful and amazing.
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. 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!
As we get into the third installment of the our month-long Wednesday night free, all ages concert series, OFFStage @ SPACE, we reach a very special one. This show’s headliners are calling themselves Phantom Computers (and as you can see in Annie Godfrey Larmon‘s poster for the event, a Buffalo At Sea provides the other half of the clue to just what that band might be) and the collaboration they have in store should be pretty special. Rumor has it that the song that inspired this very website’s name may be involved. The middle act of the night is an out-of-town band once again, this time Happy Machines from Red Bank, NJ. They’re a super fun electro-fuzz pop duo who I’ve wanted to get up to Portland for some time now, and it was finally able to happen. Don’t miss them. Get a preview of them in action here (I’ll be expecting awesome dancing like the fan in the video at the show tonight). Opening the show are Dead End Armory, the ever-evolving Wesley Hartley-front rock trio. See you tonight! |
