Menomena’s Brent Knopf, Solo at PDX @ CMJ Show from Dave Allen on Vimeo.
The PDX @ CMJ show at NYC’s Knitting Factory was all day today with a whole bunch of cool Portland bands. Here’s Brent stepping out from his band Menomena to play a solo set. More video to follow…
They hit up the right bands -
Eat Skull, White Fang, White Rainbow, Menomena, Panther, Honey Owens, Starfucker, Horse Feathers, Southern Belle, M Ward, Thermals, Fist Fite, Malkmus. And yet there is more than just white indie, folk, electronic, alt-rock in Portland. Where were the Lifesavas for instance?
Menomena’s Danny Seim debuts Lackthereof live in Portland from Dave Allen on Vimeo.
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.
