You probably already know about Bear In Heaven re-releasing their great album Beast Rest Forth Mouth along with a remixes disc, but now over at Pitchfork you can check out The Field’s remix of “Ultimate Satisfaction” from that release.

Get a taste of it all live tomorrow with Bear In Heaven right here at SPACE Gallery! Advance tickets are always a good idea, especially considering that it will also be local heroes Brenda‘s cd release show! This is gonna be really, really good.

Now that you’ve had some time to get properly acquainted with Treble Treble Volume 1, it’s time for us to keep rolling out the goods. For the next couple of months, we’ll be bringing you downloads of new mp3s from the bands included in the compilation right here on the SPACE Gallery blog. Still don’t have the book? Pick it up at SPACE or Bull Moose and Newbury Comics in Portland!

Here’s a new song from Gully, off their upcoming release, Gregory.

Caspian have been hard at work on their new full length album, Tertia, and are giving the whole thing away for free! through www.gimmesound.com. A new website which lets bands make their own music profiles and be able to have all of their music available for free download and still get paid through ad revenue. Sounds pretty cool to me!!!

Caspian are playing an ALL AGES show here at SPACE along with Portland’s own, The Baltic Sea & Boston’s Irepress on Thursday, August 27th, its $5 and starts at 7pm.

Also, here’s a very nice article from www.sunonthesand.net on Caspian’s new album.

Recorded live at SPACE Gallery on January 22, 2005, this song is really a medley arranged by Marc Chillemi. He says that he “combined an African song from Nigeria, which was based on Manicero and written by one of King Sunny Ade’s guitarist, and put the two together.” For this performance, Esperanza featured the following members: Stephanie Reed – piano, Rah Hergenhan – timbales, Dylan Blanchard – congas, Tim Cooper – bongos, Greg Goodwin – bass, Adam Montminy – tenor sax, Joe Pera – baritone sax, Eric Ambrose – trombone, and Marc Chillemi – trumpet.

The newly formed Grupo Esperanza can be contacted at: www.esperanzaband.com.

Last week you heard a track from Sara Cox, who opened for the Maasachussetts-based singer Lori McKenna at SPACE Gallery on December 18, 2004.

The streaming track included here was recorded at that show, and is a song that appeared on 2005′s Bittertown (available here). Lori is currently promoting her latest release, Unglamorous, out now on Warner Bros. Records. Her career has been growing strong since 2004, as proven last year when three McKenna-penned songs appeared on Faith Hill’s Number One album, Fireflies, including the single “Stealing Kisses.”

Get more info on Lori McKenna at her Myspace page.

Just a few days before Andrew Bird’s memorable show at SPACE, Nova Scotia’s Buck 65 graced our humble stage, where the above MP3 of “Pants On Fire” was recorded. A studio version of this track appears on Buck 65′s compilation from that year, This Right Here Is Buck 65.
Stream Buck 65 – Pants on Fire (Live @ SPACE Gallery 11.01.04)

Rich Terfry, aka Buck 65, currently hosts “Radio 2 Drive” on CBC Radio 2, which broadcasts nationally in Canada and on the web. Don’t let that make you think that he hasn’t been making music: the latest Buck 65 release is Situation, which is about the year 1957 (details here). He has also made available Dirtbike, a free three-album compilation of lo-fi demos and home recordings, available here. Finally, a collaboration with Sufjan Stevens appears on the incredible new compilation, Dark Was The Night. The album is a fund raising effort by the Red Hot Organization – an international charity dedicated to raising funds and awareness for HIV and AIDS.

Buck 65 performs this Saturday, March 21, at the Strange Famous SXSW showcase in Austin, Texas with Sage Francis, Sleep, Dan le sac Vs. Scroobius Pip, and others.

Sara Cox shared the stage with Lori Mckenna (look for a live recording from her set here next week!) at SPACE Gallery on December 18, 2004. The MP3 above is of the song “Devotion,” from Sara’s 2003 album, Arrive (which the Portland Phoenix named best album of the year in 2004). You can order the studio album here.

She’ll be back at SPACE on May 2nd for the annual Brew Girls Fundraiser along with Vanessa Torres, Megan Jo Wilson, and more. Check out the Sara Cox Myspace page for more info.

Deerhoof are the type of band that are infinitely difficult to describe, but ultimately pure pleasure to watch or listen to. This recording from back in 2005 at SPACE Gallery (the track appeared on that year’s The Runners Four) epitomizes their style of swirling, hypnotic pop that nobody else can do in quite the same way.

Deerhoof are currently involved in an exciting experiment using Indaba Music, allowing anybody to join the band!They’ve made basic tracks (and sheet music!) for the song “Buck And Judy” (off their latest, Offend Maggie) available for fans to download and use to re-imagine the song, or contribute parts of it. The goal is to create unique versions of the song, from remixes to orchestral interpretations, to whatever their fans can imagine.

The band is gearing up for some international dates before returning to play shows at home in California in May.

Okay, so that Andrew Bird show back in ’04? Here’s the other half of the equation!

The always lovely Emilia Dahlin opened that night, and here’s a live track from her set.

Emilia needs no introduction, but if you’re new to this gazillion times over award winner, here’s her bio. She just spent February teaching a songwriting course for the Portland non-profit the Telling Room  and is embarking today on a bunch of tour dates.

Here’s the link to Emilia’s studio album which features 6 Acre Lot.
