As you may have heard, local musician and photographer Joshua Loring and SPACE Gallery were awarded a grant by the Maine Arts Commission to document the underground rock scene in Portland, Maine. The result of this project is a compilation cd (wonderfully mastered by Pete Nenortas) and book (lovingly designed by Sean Wilkinson) covering a unique spectrum of the music happening here in our local scene. This is now available, in the form of Treble Treble Volume 1, at SPACE as well as Bull Moose Music (in Portland and Scarborough) and Newbury Comics (in South Portland). You can preview all ten tracks on the disc and get more info here.
On November 27th, 2009, we held a special release party for Treble Treble and had a number of the musicians involved in the project perform, including Gully, An Evening With, Huak, Metal Feathers, Vince Nez, Tempera, and Leif Sherman Curtis. Check out the slideshow below for Jon Donnell’s photos from the event.
We’ll be continuing this project right here at Have Faith In Worthless Knowledge with more tracks from the bands in Volume 1 as well as others as we continue to explore Portland’s music scene. Expect to hear more in the new year…
