Portland music Vol. II

Indeed, this post will seem a little bit like self promotion, but this is what happens. Check out my band, The Dirty Words. We play Rock and Roll and you can check out our music through bandcamp:




We also have a real website, The Dirty Words dot com. If you like our music, connect with us on Facebook, it would mean a lot to us.


Another band that we have had the joy of sharing the stage with as of late, is Portland based animal r&r. This quintet creates expansive alternative indie rock and their debut EP entitled Watch The Stars Come Down exemplifies the use of atmosphere to create an impressively layered soundscape. Check out this 5 song EP, released earlier this year, on bandcamp and throw them a few bucks. They're good people doing what they love most: creating meaningful, good, and original music.


Download Watch The Stars Come Down on Bandcamp



The Autonomics are another band that we have been sharing the stage with lately. This trio creates indie rock with a good portion of throwback 1960s British Rock and Roll added to the mix. This band never ceases to astonish me as they are all in their early 20s. and I mean early; 2 of the members, twin brothers Evan and Vaughn, drums and bass respectively, are still minors. But don't let this seem as a disadvantage, they can rock with as much ferocity as seasoned veterans, and do it with a cohesion that reflects focused ambition and deep seeded love of all things rock and roll. The Autonomics have a 5 track EP available in physical format at their live shows, as well as a super spiffy newly designed t-shirt. If you get the chance to see them live, do it! You will not regret it. As a matter of fact, we are sharing a bill with them at the Hawthorne Theatre on Sunday, 2/13/11, which happens to coincide with my birthday. Rock and roll and drinks will both be flowing in ample amounts and everyone is invited! More info here.

Here are a few links to check out from The Autonomics:


And they have their debut EP, Good Luck and Medicine,  available on itunes (sorry, no link)



Finally, our good friends, Tall As Rasputin are currently working on releasing their debut EP. While still in production, this release along with a new line-up promises to launch Tall As Rasputin to new heights. But for now, you can check out their music through the dreaded myspace. Also, check out their Facebook Page


I will add more links for Tall As Rasputin once they become available. Keep checking back!
