SXSW Music: Esben and The Witch

Hello from Austin, Texas! The SXSW Music Festival is fully under way, and it’s already a bit overwhelming. I’ll be posting galleries of bands I caught (some, like this, will just be one band, others will be a mix of acts I saw) with special attention paid to bands from or connected to Maine, those […]

SXSW Music: No Joy

Hello from Austin, Texas! The SXSW Music Festival is fully under way, and it’s already a bit overwhelming. I’ll be posting galleries of bands I caught (some, like this, will just be one band, others will be a mix of acts I saw) with special attention paid to bands from or connected to Maine, those […]

SXSW Bands: Astronautalis (and SPACE Photos)

On March 3, Seattle MC Astronautalis debuted his new live band with a show at SPACE Gallery in Portland, Maine. The band includes two familiar faces from our local scene, plus another member from the Bronx (we did an interview and photos at their practice space). At the show, Astronautalis said he’d been dreaming […]

Girl Talk Transcended Monday Night

Last night (Monday, February 28, 2011) at the State Theatre, Girl Talk turned the sold out crowd into a hot, sweaty mess where everyone – as requested – did their best to forget the fact that it was Monday night, and they should probably be doing homework, sleeping, or whatever – anything but dancing […]

HillyTown Video: Jacob Augustine

Back in December, we hosted a criminally under-attended show of excellent acoustic music at Mayo Street Arts. The final performance of the night was from Jacob Augustine, whose band – The House Of Fire – had just fallen apart. This was about as intimate as a public concert could get, and those in the room […]

SXSW Bands: Goes Cube (Brooklyn, NY)

South By Southwest 2011 is just under a month away, and enjoying 5 days of nonstop live music requires a bit of preparation. I’ll be looking at some of the acts I hope to catch, including bands from Maine, those who regularly play in Portland, and national acts who will hopefully make it through here […]
