Due to some apparent miscommunication, it turned out that Annuals weren’t actually scheduled to open for Company Of Thieves at Port City Music Hall on Monday, December 14th. Any disappointment was quickly washed away by the headliner’s energetic performance, as they might as well have been performing to a crowd of thousands, despite a […] I’m not sure what it is about Tuesday, but it has suddenly become a hot night in Portland on a weekly basis. Sure, there’s the Clash Of The Titans at Empire, but not everybody wants to watch cover bands. Of course, there are usually plenty of fun shows happening on Tuesdays (always check the […] On Saturday night, South China (pictured above, after their set, in the first snow storm of the season) played their last show in New England for the winter. Today they headed south (to play at Pete’s Candy Store in Brooklyn with Greg Jamie, who they first shared the stage with in their until-today-hometown of […] Last Wednesday, Port City Music Hall filled up with another huge crowd for a great WCYY-sponsored show loaded with animal-named bands (incredibly, no Wolf bands were involved.) Keeping with the Athens, Georgia theme, Twin Tigers started things off and set the epic, noisy tone for the night. Later on, As Tall As Lions pushed […] It’s been a very busy week for shows (and still going, with great shows tonight and tomorrow at SPACE) and we’ve got plenty of photos to show for it! On Tuesday, Metric headlined a show at Port City Music Hall. I was really impressed by the openers, a UK band called Band Of Skulls. […] Sometimes you just can’t make it to every show. It’s a great problem to have though, in a city like Portland where music fans often complain a lack of good shows to check out (which is less and less the case lately). On Saturday night (November 14), I was at SPACE Gallery for most […] It’s been a busy week for music around Portland! In fact, it’s showing no signs of stopping for the foreseeable future, as we’ve got a handful of great national acts coming through in the coming weeks. Last Thursday, November 12, saw Amanda Palmer (of Dresden Dolls fame) bringing a new opening/backing band in […] For all my talk about the Apohadion, last night was the first time I actually made it down to a show there. The space is great, and reminds me of other diy venues I’ve seen, especially Death By Audio in Brooklyn (but that might be the checkered floor more than anything else – though […] As mentioned, the DoorYard Art Collective made a grand return to the monthly First Friday Art Walk in Portland with a full installation and open studio experience. If you’ve ever been to the DoorYard before (or Soundpost, or Stillhouse…) you may not recognize it these days, as it’s changed quite a bit. Check out […] On Monday, Pete Yorn played Port City Music Hall along with Brooklyn-based openers Alberta Cross. Yorn’s tambourine man/merch guy/party starting pal Max has the setlist from the show up on their tour blog. Actually, his contributions in the form of exuberant tambo-jangling were my favorite parts of the headlining act’s set, but unfortunately they […] Last night at the ever-surreal Bubba’s Sulky Lounge, Ye, Batshelter, and Haru Bangs got the Halloween weekend started properly with a headbanging and boot-licking-inducing set. Check out the photo gallery here! Looking for fun tonight? Obviously there are tons of parties around town – check out your favorite venue/bar for some sort of awesomeness […] It’s been a long, fun month for HillyTown. Thanks to all the bands who played the OFFStage free concert series at SPACE Gallery, Otto for the pizza deals, the artists who designed posters, Allen West for doing sound for pizza and cranberry juice, everybody who volunteered at the events, and everybody who came out […] We had a great time at the first KahBang Music & Art Festival up in Bangor, Maine this weekend (Saturday, August 15, 2009). Check out the full photo gallery (it’s a big one, 90 photos strong) here. It was no surprise that Matt & Kim would be a highlight (if you haven’t seen them, […] So, who else is heading up to Bangor for KahBang! tomorrow? I’m anticipating a Portland field trip. Congrats to Christian for winning our Gay Blades-sponsored contest! I haven’t tried it yet, but if there’s pulled pork in Monument Square, I’m there. In band-personell-shifting-news, Dead Man’s Clothes is now down to a trio, including Ian Riley […] |
