LASTNIGHT.

2012-01-21T10:49:00.000-08:00

Thanks to everyone who came out to make this such a warm, special night! It felt great to pack in so many great people.

3 pretty different bands made this show really exciting. Completely excellent performances from all three! The first two full bands crammed onto the stage, while Dilly Dilly came accompanied by 2 female harmonists. The three vocals filled out her music to bring up the eerie, sad and romantic quality of her songs, brought to my mind a midnight forest. I understood her music better lastnight, and just how different her music is from anything I've heard.

Old Soul sounded better than ever. A full band perfectly aligned. This seems to be their true incarnation. Their set felt like a celebration, with much of the room already familiar with each song. Mike O'Hehir's songwriting runs a theme on the sweetness of life, an urge to let everyone in on it's secrets. There's a subtle hint of melancholy under there somewhere which makes the beauty that much sweeter and lifts it to new heights. They began the set in the middle of the room with back up vocalist on piano. A warm welcome for everyone who came out. It lasted the night and sent everyone including myself home happy.

Brian Carpenter and the Confessions infused the room again. If you haven't heard their music, you need to. Brian Carpenter is an extraordinarily diverse artist. Each of his songs is a complex composition meant to be performed with precision while emitting a darkness and chaos that surfaces mystery from each listener. It is hard to turn away from, like a ghost train speeding through the night, one wants to grip a good look before it disappears. The Confessions as far as I can observe are extremely on point as a brew straight from the soul of Brian Carpenter.

September 15th!

This Thursday!

Drab Pony // Herbcraft // Barn Owl

We couldn't be more excited to be having Barn Owl play our space! Coming from San Francisco, here are a few words describing their sound..

"Between rhythmic, turning strums that recall Saharan twilight, radiant synth swells and choral clusters that echo the desolation of deep space, the duo's sound has no doubt ascended from it's desert-rock roots into a new, beaming realm. Evocative as they are, the sounds here aren't easy to tie down to particular imagery. A myriad of influences from blues and raga to the guitar style most often associated with the Tuareg people meld into a new universal sound that can only be described as cosmic and sublime."
Take a listen here..

Thanks Jesse for making this beautiful show poster!

http://thegoddamnrattlesnake.bandcamp.com/

http://www.reverbnation.com/graverobbersbnd

We're really excited to welcome each of these artists to our venue.

Jesse Pilgrim's album, "Trial and Error" was largely written over one winter in Portland, ME and fully inspired by it. They really are campfire songs, unifying over a hard long winter and maybe getting through, maybe not, but at least we can all sing along.

OK The Goddamn Rattlesnake. I've been seeing this band grow and change for the last 7 or so years in NY where o'death has been playing with them for just as long. Our first gig with them was in '05 at the Apocalypse Lounge where we built a small community of like-minded folk-punks and our most recent gig with them was this past year at the Bell House, playing for over 400 people. These guys are the real deal. GraveRobbers I don't know personally but they play with the Rattlesnake often and are from North Carolina, so that could only mean good things. This is a really special night, not to miss.

Vermont Joy Parade

Listen to more here!

"The Vermont Joy Parade is a six piece ensemble featuring banjo, trumpet, accordion, guitar, upright bass, drums/percussion, and vocals, playing a fervent and eclectic blend of old-time, blues, dixieland, cajun, jug, and klezmer."
And back when they played our room in October, felt like the ideal band to bring it to life. That is in fact the feeling their music gives. When everyone including myself left that night we certainly felt uplifted and somehow connected. What a night! You really won't want to miss them..gorgeous musicianship and beautiful, rambunctious voices culminate to such great heights!

Cinder Conk

Sofieski Tantz LIVE w/Ben Russell

"Cinder Conk plays music drawn from the Black Sea - the wellspring of Europe’s deepest and most diverse musical traditions. It is the sound of celebration and lament of those who have lived on its coast over thousands of years - Roma, Jews, peasants, and nationalists. Cinder Conk mixes frenzied accordion riffs and thundering double bass counterpoint with a classic bardic lyricism that invites and transcends."

Oh wow...If you've been in a rut, Friday night might be just the ticket.

2011-05-20T08:41:00.000-07:00

"Arrington de Dionyso makes trans-utopian world music for a world that exists in fever dreams and hallucinations. Using performance and visual art, he traverses the nameless territories held between surrealist automatism, shamanic seance, and the folk imagery of rock and roll. Ecstasy vs. Madness.

OLD TIME RELIJUN being presently on hiatus, De Dionyso’s most recent project, MALAIKAT DAN SINGA, is a trance-punk outfit featuring bass clarinet, guitars and his trademark wild vocals (multi-spectral harmonic throatsinging combined with grunts, yelps, and barks) – this time, all sung in Indonesian." (tracertrails.co.uk)

We've seen Arrington live before and it's been totally mind blowing. You can't not move. His music brings about a visceral reaction in the nervous system, so that you can feel how real his music is. Best way to understand it is to watch it performed. So excited to experience his new project in our very own space, what an honor!

happy new year!!!!!!
lastnight was so extremely gorgeous! our first time playing and even seeing a show in the famous hogfarm barn! everyone seemed to start piling in at the same time. It was like the ultimate family holiday but with people you can actually get on with! Lots of amazing homemade food around and even some magical home-brewed elixirs! So nice of everyone to not only bring food but put such care into what they made (or bought!). (Who made that hummus!?!) The whole night felt like a dream where you died and this was the party before you really pass over, like a "this is your life" episode with colors and flavors. And reaally good music!
We followed Wes Hartley which was scary but I felt so inspired by their performance that I was still floating when we went on.

Favorite voices of the night: Leslie Deane and Jerusha Neely Robinson. They were just calling out to me. And the soft rich sound the barn accentuates, so blissful!!! Just really brought these vocals out for me lastnight.
I would "cover" more but I have work to do for tonight's show at our place!

Loved hanging out with all you cats! See you tonight!!!

sorry.
Saturday, November 13th!

I just have to write about this show, cause it was so gosh darn fun!
Marie Stella, Hyena, Elephant, BIG MUFF...
Freakin', the best line-up. This show satisfied all my grunge rock yearnings somehow. So much heart in all the music, ecstatic.
Marie Stella was amazing. Sydney Bourke led the songs with a strong, sexy voice kind of reminiscent of Kristin Hersh but a million times better. They sound like they've been playing together forever. The instrumentals were hard and seductively heavy but so intricate. I love seeing a band that moves to what they are playing, it's so awesome watching that energy just take them. Thanks Bryan for adding another item to our menu! Did we decide on "The Bryan" or "The Bruchman"? That's a black bean brownie with homemade ice cream over the top, warmed up. (Oh, and for our mermaid postcard!)
Hyena. Seriously Colby, I had no idea. I was completely captivated from start to finish. The vocals sound like they are tapped directly from the heart and soul. I'm tempted to start comparing them but it would only cheapen what they do. If you missed them that night, keep tabs and catch them when you can. (Hopefully, at our place again soon). There was wildness in their music too, like the cracking of a whip in a storm. Impossible not to get drawn into it.
Elephant was the cherry on top. A mix of beautiful songwriting and visceral energy. Light and dark sounds balanced out the room while reigniting it! Gorgeous.
The night started with BIG MUFF. Totally threw me off guard. One guy, with a color changing light shining up on him, in sunglasses and a hood. I'm apprehensive to start describing his music. I really couldn't stop laughing almost the entire time, just because I couldn't believe how good it was... He moved like you would if you were rapping karaoke style alone in your bedroom. Perfectly placed sound movements and a really keen sensibility for musical switches within the songs. I want him to come play my dream dance party inside my head. A solo electronic wizard!

surprisingly well attended room for a sunday night. thanks to everyone who came out. Thanks for bringing your friends too guys. Beautiful night. The Powder Kegs brought the room to life and infused the night with energy. I've never heard them live before, great show!
Tica Douglas played a gorgeous set with viola partner in tow. You can tell right away, there's real talent there. Her songwriting is funny and poetically wordy. I was listening hard to hear all her words. The viola belonged in the songs so naturally and instinctively played to encourage each mood.
A lot of people came to see Robert Sarazin Blake. No one was disappointed. I was really blown away actually. He is sort of a comic and his words spoken and sung have an Irish bent that catches you off guard. He managed to weave observations of local quirks and character into his songs and pre-song banter that made me feel somehow closer to everyone in the room. I've never seen anyone like him before. He has a real genius for utilizing the here and now and makes you feel everything's kind of alright. Cannot wait to have him come back! (He and his girlfriend danced to the other bands music too. Loved that.)

much love and thanks for a great night!

2010-11-23T09:20:00.000-08:00

Right now I'm on my in-law's computer, home for Thanksgiving. It's really hard right now trying to send my mind back to this past weekend. It's all just color blocks and really good music. And was there actually moshing going on???? How come I missed this?!!
I want to draw a picture of Celine with wings coming down to the bar to save me from the wrath of heavy drinkers that night!!! Thank you!

ANYWAY

This weekend started with Gabe of o'death coming to visit early to shoot a video for their new album. He handmade masks using melted skin wax flesh and a bed frame chipped into splintery wood slivers, whited out graduation robe, and flying machine flashlight eyes cute monster.

Skeletonbreath started the night with one of the most beautiful sets I've heard them play. Really the liveliest. I think they've been recharged by some new energy- it can only come to life in that stingingly satisfying way filtered through the songs they write. Whenever I see them play, I can't believe what I'm hearing. I can only describe it as a flock of birds that know which way to go always, psychic. I didn't even get to watch them this time with the horde all over the furniture. The feeling of birds must have come from my mind painting to the sound. So exceptional.

The Woes. Sometimes the musicians change or grow in number or slim down to just Osei (which is amazing). But Saturday nights group felt really perfect. Osei has this honey rich voice, that no one could ever imitate. It really defines their music. I'm constantly impressed by the way the room handles sound. His vocals floated above the music and weaved in and out of it. Their music is like an ethereal carnival of sweet and mellow. It swells and falls without ever a carny shrillness. Ok, it's like a carnival with caramel apples and the smell of caramel and cotton candy and soft grass at sunset, but it doesn't get freaky once the sun goes down and kids high on acid start filtering in.

o'death. ridiculous. it's ridiculous what a huge fan I am of this band. sometimes it sucks just a little that I'm married to the lead singer. Their new album (out March 1st..) is something that haunts me everyday now. I have it on the moment Greg leaves and let it play continuously until he returns and I have to hide my obsession a little. No new songs in their set that night but a rebirth were the older songs they played. They are definitely a band that's so hard to watch without being infected by a strange energy. I couldn't see them at all. It was great actually to experience it so live but without the visual, and still feel it's effect on me. The sound was so tight, like they'd been on the road for two months. I think there were a lot of newcomers to their music that night and you could tell. A lot of people had a look of shock and joy on their faces. When they played I reviewed the room and everyone had a smile on their face, such a great feeling.

Jacob and the House of Fire. If you stayed for the epic end to this night...well please keep watch for this band's return, as we will be building an incredible night around them when they come back. Our big build-up for their set was a teaser of 3 beautiful songs. A lot (a lot!) of people came out especially to see these guys. Definitely a bitter-sweet night- the fire alarm went off and the entire 140 main st. had to evacuate the building (tenants and all). There was no way of turning the alarm off without the fire department and they came and very dramatically all garbed up marched through every room and storefront that 140 main encompasses. Jacob and the House of Fire were heartbroken. A long night of waiting to play and working up to it fed by the energy in the room. Apologies to all their fans that came (some of you from far away) to experience their music that night.

Thanks, everyone who came out. We are so touched by the response to the show. Thank you for drinking so much that we sold out of most of our beer, and for the smell of sweat and booze that still lingers a little.

GRAND OPENING WEEKEND!

2010-11-04T09:38:00.000-07:00

Yes its true we've been open periodically since our first show with Casiotone for the Painfully Alone on Oct 12th. This weekend, though, (starting with Brown Bird, Joe Fletcher and the Wrong Reasons and D. Gross), will mark our official grand opening. Partially this is because this will be my first show as a Maine resident. Our first show that Kristin and I will be together(i've been down in brooklyn working on an album this since sept). We're going to be open regularly(not just for shows) and hope to really become a place folks in Biddeford and around the area can feel comfortable coming to whenever they need to relax, drink, talk, eat, watch movies and listen to some great music. We'll post our hours soon, but expect us open each night as a general hang for the community. Thanks all, we are so excited to take on this adventure.

-Greg

Drab Pony was so captivating. I starting recalling memories of playing in my grandma's backyard as a kid while listening! His music is energizing and deeply relaxing. Have you ever had a cup of tea that's so potent it's almost like doing drugs? That's kind of what it was like!
Trying to get a sound clip off my phone from his performance...

Black Swans couldn't have been better. I think everyone was blown away by every single song. So excited for the Spring when they say they'll be back! Jerry and Tyler have such a chemistry, it's so amazing to watch. Each song was like it's own little movie. I was getting these beautiful little glimpses and it made me want more so I could see the whole picture. You can tell these songs are from a very real place. So superb.
Such sweet guys too!

Lastnight was a night of sweet guys! The five gents of Milagres played an amazing set! I was new to their music, and was so excited to see them play. Their music filled our little room so gorgeously. I sat on the couch in the back for most of it so I could ease back and take it in. There's so much texture in their music, I think if you listened endless times you'd always get something different. BUT it is so light and airy that I think it took them a thousand years to get that effect from these beautifully structured songs. What a pleasure!

I would love to repeat this line up any day!

Thank you Savannah for doing the door lastnight!
Thanks Jeremy for being our sound hero!
Thanks Gil for the constant moral support!

thank you
