Poor Kurt Baker, somebody stole his heart!
Portland mind-expanding experimentalists Planets Around The Sun just unveiled the hypnotic new video for “Water Dub” that they’ve been hanging onto for a minute, so now we can all enjoy it. This isn’t some fancy filter on the video – it was shot this way. The band’s Ian Paige filmed “Water Dub” at the Institute of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art right here in Portland, Maine. Daniel Rozin’s Snow Mirror provided the psychedelic effects. Funny timing… today official word came in that folks at KahBang (the Bangor music and arts festival happening August 5-13) will be bringing a summer concert series to the Maine State Pier from June to September. The group plans to make announcements including the lineup and ticket sales info in the upcoming weeks. Refresh your memory of what these guys are capable of with our KahBang photo galleries. If what you’re looking for a free concerts, the city of Portland has you covered. Portland Recreation (along with a slew of collaborators) brings us their annual Summer in the Parks Concerts in July and August. Read on for the full schedule, which includes some HillyTown favorites including Phantom Buffalo, Darien Brahms, and Marie Moreshead, among others. Read on…
Last night, five songwriters participated in HillyTown Presents: An Evening Of Acoustic Music at Mayo Street Arts in Portland. Thank you so much to Blainor at Mayo Street and of course Marie Moreshead, D. Gross, Denise Dill, Nate Martinez, and Jacob Augustine for the excellent performances in what felt like the perfect setting for music on a brisk winter night. Read on for photos: Read on…
Normally I’d just post this elsewhere (like on my personal Tumblr) but since it’s in the middle of the Arts District and nearby so many Portland venues, it seems relevent. Today they removed the sign and fully shut down the L.L. Bean Outlet Portland. It’s quite a bit retail space – any guesses or insight as to what might take it next? Sad news in the Munjoy Hill live music, coffee, and good food world: North Star Music Cafe will be closing their doors for good this Sunday. The cafe asked for help from the community to keep their doors open earlier this year to much support, but it sounds like it just didn’t work out. The following note went out on Facebook:
Don’t be scared. If it’s OK to drink on a Tuesday (the usual monthly day of the week for Portland Greendrinks), then a Monday is just as acceptable. Give it a shot tonight as the networking event brings its kegs to Bayside Bowl, at 58 Alder Street in Portland. As usual, the event starts at 5:30pm and you (this should be obvious) must be 21 to get in. RSVP to the event on Facebook and check out the The Maine League Of Young Voters, as 5% of Bayside Bowl’s profits for the entire day will go to benefit the organization. As usual, don’t forget to bring a vessel for your beverages!
Located at 578 Congress Street above Strange Maine (which isn’t going anywhere) in downtown Portland, Time-Lag Records/The Iele Tree Clothing is closing its doors after 3 years on August 15th. They’re going out with a bang, with two great shows plus extended hours to make sure you get a chance to stop by and take advantage of some big sales. A message from Nemo with the details is after the jump: Read on… |
