Deerhoof / Xiu Xiu / Father Murphy

Hilly Town — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 14:02:08 +0000

Who Deerhoof / Xiu Xiu / Father Murphy When Monday, October 11, 2010 8:00pm - $13 adv/ $15 dos - 18+ Where SPACE Gallery (map) 538 Congress St Portland, ME, USA 04101 Other InfoAvant-garde psychedelic pop trio Deerhoof's return to SPACE has been years in the making! Satomi Matsuzaki's vocals alternately bite and coo over John Dieterich's spastic guitar lines and Greg Saunier's dramatic driving drumming. Flopping between infectious childlike melodies and jagged experimental noise, your feet will command you to jump up and down with enough vigor to match the band's hyper-space-jams. At work on a new album for next year, the group is sure to pull out all the stops after being egged on by fellow avant-pop crazies Xiu Xiu opening. Kicking things off is experimental rock trio Father Murphy, to be the first in a trilogy of weird trips and post-punk glitches.

Grant Street Orchestra / Sandbag / Jesse Pilgrim

Hilly Town — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 14:00:44 +0000

Who Grant Street Orchestra / Sandbag / Jesse Pilgrim When Friday, August 27, 2010 9:00pm - $7 - 18+ Where SPACE Gallery (map) 538 Congress St Portland, ME, USA 04101 Other InfoGrant Street Orchestra is a local hip hop group that redefines the scene. The seven man band was nominated last year for best new artist at the We Push Buttons Awards. Lead vocalists Mint and I-Kue bring soul and energy to each track as they perform hits like "Funk It" and "Phone Sex". The group unabashedly incorporates rock and jazz elements into their tracks with bass-lines by Peter Eberhardt, Charlie Sichterman on Drums, Henry Redman on saxaphone, Geoff Zimmerman on rhythm guitar and trumpet, and Andy Barbo on lead guitar. The theme for the night is House Party (think hot dogs, freezer full of popsicles and beer coozies on the couch) so come ready to kick it with friends both old and new and chill out as the boys turn SPACE into their crib and invite the neighborhood over to hear their tunes. Sandbag and Jesse Pilgrim round out the bill.
