On Tuesday night, two of Portland’s newer and fastest-rising bands played a TWO show at Port City Music Hall. Hi Tiger started the night with their Joy Division-inspired dark art pop, while Sunset Hearts‘ synthy, 80’s tunes that take on a Talking Heads and Morrissey tone, closed it out. Check out the full photo […]

Hello from Austin, Texas! The SXSW Music Festival is fully under way, and it’s already a bit overwhelming. I’ll be posting galleries of bands I caught (some, like this, will just be one band, others will be a mix of acts I saw) with special attention paid to bands from or connected to Maine, those […] 
On March 3, Seattle MC Astronautalis debuted his new live band with a show at SPACE Gallery in Portland, Maine. The band includes two familiar faces from our local scene, plus another member from the Bronx (we did an interview and photos at their practice space). At the show, Astronautalis said he’d been dreaming […]

Frontier Ruckus at One Longfellow Square – photo by Bryan Bruchman Sunday was a busy day for shows in Portland. I took a break from the excellent show down the road at SPACE and went to One Longfellow Square (the venue hosting the HillyTown Presents show I just announced April 23) to check […] 
Our predictions for how crazy and awesome B Dolan’s Church Of Love & Ruin show at SPACE was going to be were pretty spot on. Check out the photo gallery below for marching bands, burlesque, sissy bounce, feminist crowdsurfing, and a whole lot more! There was so much going on, it took two of […] 
Screaming Females win the award for national act that could be mistaken for a Portland local band, judging by the reaction of fans at their shows. Every time they come around it’s as if there’s a sigh of relief from the punk and indie rock-loving fans who hold their breath between visits. At their gigs, […] |
