Taterbug / Tracey Trance / Wesley Hartley / Herbcraft

Who Taterbug / Tracey Trance / Wesley Hartley / Herbcraft When Wednesday, March 31, 2010 8:00pm – All Ages Where Apohadion (map) 107 Hanover Street Portland, ME, USA 04101

The Apohadion is Portland’s premier DIY performance space, and Pat Corrigan and Dave Noyes’ newest thing of beauty.

Other Info(The Savage Young) TATERBUG [Iowa City]
“Teenage road warrior, dead head punk, perma tripped wanderer, Taterbug lays down his tape collaged world of free flowing Americana psych bliss. Little bells, dustbowl ballad guitars, stand by me youth cult dreams, and Manson family mind fucks, its all here, even hope for a better tomorrow and a positive spirit for today which can say alot in these droned out wasted times. Let the light inside yr skull.” – Night People

TRACEY TRANCE [Everywhere, USA]
“Trance teases with sharp, evocative grooves created on cheap keys and organs, grooves which restlessly blend into and crash into each other. Static adds a certain timelessness, and is really the only unifier at work here. Dreamlike and almost profound, “The American Heartbeat” is an unsettling but deliberate journey into what is overheard by a stranger in public and in private. Tracey Trance seems to focus on the whimsically foreboding, and I say right on.” – Foxy Digitalis

WESLEY ALLEN HARTLEY & THE TRAVELING TREES [Portland, Maine]
Hard livin’ country… W.A.H. hit the scene a few years ago as frontman for the great Dead End Armory; now riding solo and with his Traveling Trees posse, he has remained a vital songwriter and one of the most powerful live performers in town… Totally gripping, real, raw, moving, wonderfully painful odes to the hard and beautiful life. Steel-toed spur-heeled American roughs in the spirit of Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle, and Waylon & Willie.

HERBCRAFT [Portland, ME]
Crafted after a three-month-steady regimen of long highway drives, obscure psych-rock mixtapes, and Midwest classic rock radio, Matt Lajoie (Cursillistas) wrote and recorded the debut Herbcraft record in a single day with the intent to pass it off as a lost early-70′s cult psych-prog-spacerock concept record. Echoes of Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Amon Duul, and early Pink Floyd & Grateful Dead jams throughout, refracted thru the dusty, cracked, and scratched Cursillistas prism. Joined in this live Portland debut by the full-band incarnation dubbed EARTHCRAFT (members of Tempera & Planets Around The Sun; Brother Oak in absentia).
