The death of 'Do This,' and more

Sibilance
By PORTLAND PHOENIX MUSIC STAFF  |  November 18, 2009

• Photographer/songwriter/BOXY member JOSHUA LORING and SPACE GALLERY were awarded a grant by the MAINE ARTS COMMISSION to document the underground rock scene with the goal of showcasing Portland music, performances, and musicians' lives to those within and without our Maine borders. The resulting Treble Treble, a full-color photo album designed by SEAN WILKINSON (HONEY CLOUDS) and accompanying CD compilation featuring music by Portland bands including GULLY, AN EVENING WITH, HUAK, METAL FEATHERS, VINCE NEZ, and TEMPERA, will be released with a show at SPACE November 27. Sounds like a good time.

• Portland ex-pat JEFF BEAM will celebrate the release of his new Portraits of Poor Traits at Slainte, November 29. Free hardcopies of the disc will be available.

• Next big day for local electronic music? December 22 will see the release of VIK44's My Way Out and BRZOWSKI AND MOSHE's Like Woe, on BRICK.CITY.MEDIA and MILLED PAVEMENT, respectively. They're waiting for Brzowski and Moshe to get back from a tour of Europe before the release happens.

DEAD SEASON have some issues to deal with: The TRUMAN BROTHERS are now the only remaining members of the band. Both drummer ANDY HACKETT and bassist STEVE CHURCH have quit the band and Dead Season are actively recruiting replacements.

• At HEADSTART's EP release show Saturday, frontman KEVIN KENNIE announced unexpectedly (perhaps even to him) that it would be the last-ever performance of the band's first big hit: "Do This." Kennie's delivery made it clear that he just had no interest in the song anymore.
