Here’s a clip of Justice tearing it up at Holocene last night. These guys don’t DJ so much as fire off sharp, staccato cut ups interspersed with power drill bursts of synth bass lines all designed to make you bounce off the walls, and the crowd at Holocene did just that.
Loch Lomond and friends
Much revered Portland outfit Loch Lomond released their new CD, Paper The Walls, this week. Check out a cut below and buy it here.

Brand Upon The Brain! Live Cinema Spectacular Comes To Portland 10/12 - 10/13
After sold-out performances in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, the film event of the year is coming to Portland! Brand Upon The Brain! will be performed with a live orchestra, Foley sound effects team and special guest narrators, including musician Stephen Malkmus, Calvin Johnson and the incomparable Karen Black. Surreal, satiric and surprisingly touching, Brand Upon The Brain! looks at the secret lives of families in a work that is equal parts childhood reminiscence, Expressionist horror movie, and teen detective serial.
10/12 7:00 PM Stephen Malkmus Narrates (Pavement, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks)
10/13, 4:30 PM Calvin Johnson Narrates
10/13, 7 PM Karen Black Narrates
*This performance is presented as part of the 2007 Portland Lesbian & Gay Film Festival.

Does anyone remember that 1979 concert film called Rock for Kampuchea? Somewhere in the middle of that movie there was a performance by a band called Rockpile which, for the film, featured guest vocalist Robert Plant backed by the regular lineup of Dave Edmunds on Guitar, Dire Straits drummer Terry Williams and Nick Lowe on bass. It was a highlight of the movie and my first introduction to Nick Lowe. After that I think I saw the video for Cruel to Be Kind and I’ve been a fan ever since. Of course Nick has several other hits, was in another great band called Little Village and has produced countless records. He’ll be in Portland tonight performing at the Aladdin theater.
