Many of you probably saw the production of Lorca’s Blood Wedding (at SPACE Gallery, directed by Tess Van Horn) this weekend. The play received much praise, but what really stood out for me was the music. A permutation of sorts of the local group Hersey State, the Blood Wedding Pit Band (Emily Dix Thomas, Aren Sprinkle, Ed Knisely, Eric Schwann, Derek Kimball, and Pat Corrigan) played a tastefully sparse and haunting live soundtrack to the play, the music of which was recorded and available for sale on CD and tape at each show. If you made the mistake of skipping on picking one up, or just forgot, consider checking it out now. Even for those who didn’t see the play, the music stands strongly on its own, and is well worth your time. Go here to learn more and purchase it from Tea First Records. At the core of Tea First is the band Selbyville, a group adept at electro-acoustic swirls of ambience and sweet folk melodies. Having a talented filmmaker in your band can certainly help these days, as they recently released the following gorgeous videos for two of their songs.
Hear more from Selbyville and other Tea First acts at Soundcloud. Also check out related acts: pEACEFANg and Mind Wheel (playing at The Apohadion 1/28). Last Friday, May 21, we had a show at Slainte in Portland that included Kyle Wilson of the Brooklyn band Milagres, Selbyville, and Jakob Battick & Friends (in their last full band show until September). There was a great crowd for this show and all of the performances were spectacular. Check out the photos below!
Read on for the full gallery… Read on… This is the first of a few HillyTown Presents show announcements that I’ll have for the summer! On Friday, May 21, I’m happy to finally welcome the music of Brooklyn’s Milagres (formerly known at The Secret Life Of Sofia) to Portland, Maine. Lead singer/songwriter Kyle Wilson will be playing solo at Slainte Wine Bar, along with locals Selbyville and Jakob Battick & Friends. It gets started at 9pm and there’s no cover charge. Spread the word! |
