Music Seen: Ghosthunter, Antiseptic, + Shabti

Music Seen: Man-Witch CD-release at Geno's


Anyone who doesn't like Man-Witch either didn't watch enough Saturday-morning TV as a kid, or is an incurable sourpuss.

Music Seen: Lost Cause Desperados

and Johnie 3, DeeCRACKS, The New 45 at Geno's, July 2
Lost Cause Desperados have kept a low profile over the last few months, with gigs few and far between. None of that downtime has gone to waste, however, as Portland's kings of warp-speed garage-punk have been hard at work on their upcoming album, Desert of Broken Glass.

Music seen: Pixies vs. Sonic Youth at Empire

Review: Buckethead, Wolff at Asylum

Buckethead and Wolf, live at Asylum on May 27, 2009
Little is known about the masked maniac called Buckethead. According to his mythology, he was raised in a chicken coop next door to a drive-in theater, and the bucket he wears on his head contains cursed chicken bones that give him his supernatural guitar-shredding powers.

Music Seen: Rosetta and Cryptic Overcast

Rosetta, Shabti, and Cryptic Overcast at Geno's

Music seen: Clubber Lang, Antiseptic + Batshelter

Clubber Lang, Antiseptic + Batshelter at Geno's, April 10
Ah, Batshelter. What exactly are they? Punk, metal, a little of both, or something far more complex? Whichever, they've developed quite the following in the past few months.

Music seen: Never Got Caught, Mess with the Bull + Phantom Glue

Never Got Caught, Mess with the Bull + Phantom Glue, March 14, at O’Brien’s Pub

Death Punk Kareoke with Covered in Bees + Grendel's Army

Geno's, February 5
There are few words to describe the experience of sharing a stage with your favorite band. For most of us, even those without eight-figure incomes or friends with influence, it's the stuff of dreams.

Bubba's

Review: Kino Proby, Loverless

Live at the Big Easy, January 9, 2009
With another holiday season over and easily the most significant presidential inauguration in history days away, most folks are probably experiencing celebration fatigue.

Revolutionaries

Kino Proby pay tribute to a legend
Tribute bands are usually considered blights, godsends, or novelties of dubious value.

Class of the Titans

MUSIC SEEN
Hypothesis: If a band perform a tribute to a parody musical act, does it create a meta-textual black hole from which no form of entertainment can escape?

Covered in Bees

Music seen at Geno's, November 8
If any Portland band can claim their own cult of personality, it's Covered In Bees.
By DAN CLARK  |  November 12, 2008

Confusatron + Ricky Boy Floyd

For the last six years, the maniacal power trio of Confusatron have been delighting and baffling audiences throughout New England.

Pigboat + Bat Shelter + Full Contact Kitty

Music seen at Geno’s, September 19, 2008
Belfast art-monsters Full Contact Kitty took the stage around 10:15 pm with a heady brew of dissonant chords and droning feedback.

Murder Weapon, Werewolves on Wheels, Lead Stiletto

Despite a thin crowd, each band was in fine form.
