Dead Confederate Live in Portland, Or, Feb 18 09 from Dave Allen on Vimeo.

Slightly dark video but worth watching as the stage lights kick in soon enough. Ratatat played to a packed house at the Wonder Ballroom during MusicFestNW 08.

Menomena’s Danny Seim debuts Lackthereof live in Portland from Dave Allen on Vimeo.

Danny steps out from behind the drums

Danny Seim, the mighty drummer for Portland’s preeminent alt-rockers, Menomena, stepped out from behind the kit last night to front his own band, Lackthereof. Additional musicians included Matt Dabrowiak and Paul Alcott of Dat’r on drums and bass and a guitar/keyboards player whose name has slipped my mind. Lackthereof has been Danny’s musical vehicle since around 1997 preceding Menomena by a few years so it can’t really be called a side project. Anyway, check the video for a couple of songs and a quick chat with Danny at the end. Look out for the new Lackthereof album ‘Your Anchor’ out on Barsuk in July.
