Neko Case played a great set to an enthusiastic (and very, very warm) sold out crowd last night at Port City Music Hall. Opener Lucy Wainwright Roche – joined by Neko collaborator Kelly Hogan for part of the set – got the crowd warmed up with amusing banter between songs (for the record, I […] Photographer Jon Donnell was at the big Wilco show at the Maine State Pier this weekend and put together a whole gallery of great shots. Click here to see the full gallery from the show, including opening act Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band. Thanks to DJ Roy for his help in making this […] In an effort to keep the Portland/La Soc vibe going after that last minute Lewis & Clarke show a while back, two of the label’s excellent artists, Matt Bauer and Strand Of Oaks, stopped by on tour to play with the elusive Tin Ceilings, which in this incarnation featured Sarah Ramey (Seekonk/Wolf Larsen), Dave […] On Friday night, They Might Be Giants made it up to Portland, Maine for their (supposedly) only show in Maine this decade. Though they often double it up and do a children’s show early in the day followed by a later club show for the grownups, this time around they just brought the full-on-adult […] Summer concert season is definitely picking up, and it’s getting to that time when there are so many good shows going on that multiple concerts in one night starts to sound like a good idea. Friday was one of many recent occurrences, as while a reportedly epic night of solo act dueling was going […] If you’ve been paying any amount of attention to the Portland music scene (or, in particular, this site) for the past 6 months or so, then you’ve probably become fairly well-acquainted with the quirky experimental pop duo of Lady Lamb The Beekeeper. They first caught my attention back in November and have only gotten better, […] Photos by Bryan Bruchman, interviews by Will Ethridge. Let the music speak for itself! Come on down to the Tower of Song and get your copy of Over A Cardboard Sea’s free mix CD! (the band lands right in the middle of the festival, playing at 3:05pm). What was the most unusual place you’ve […] A week ago, Swedish band The Sounds tore through Portland, treating Port City Music Hall like the biggest arena in the world. Their show may have been a bit over the top, but hey, it sure looked and sounded great! Check out the full photo gallery from the show (which also included openers Hey […] In the past, MENSK has organized truck shows during the First Friday Art Walk here in Portland, during which a truck drove around to various spots in town while a band played out of the back of it. For the most recent First Friday (May 1, 2009), they changed the formula slightly, packing a […] Photos from the Boyfriends, Inc. show at Bubba’s last week are now online. I have to say, I love putting on shows at Slainte Wine Bar. It’s a pretty unassuming little room, but you can do great things there. Audiences love that shows are free, the food is good (and it was half-price on this occasion!), and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable for the performers. While […] Last week, Ray LaMontagne returned to his home state of Maine to play two sold out shows at Merrill Auditorium in Portland. Fun fact: apparently he lives in a house in Lewiston that was previously occupied by Norman Mailer. Interesting. Read on for a full review of the first of the two shows – […] Yes, really. Review and photos by Dilly Dilly, edited by Nancy Cartonio. Check out the full photo gallery here. Picture it… United States Of America, 1989. The girls all had poof bangs, stirrup pants and jellies. The guys all had asymmetrical lines shaved into the sides of their heads, hammer pants and hyper-color shirts. […] I skipped the (reportedly incredible) Lady Lamb The Beekeeper / Sister Suvi show at SPACE on Friday to check out America’s favorite treadmill enthusiasts, OK Go, at the Port City Music Hall. It was one of the smaller venues I’ve seen them in (well, aside from that backyard in Austin 3 years ago, but […] |
