It's always great when someone from your hometown goes BIG.

In this case, I'm talking about KEEGAN DeWITT of WILD CUB.

Born in Bend, OR and raised in Portland, OR -- KEEGAN DeWITT headed for the 'bright lights' at age 17 when he moved to NY to attend SUNY Purchase Film Conservatory. Working under  incredible artists like playwright David Mamet and actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman (who created the LABrynth Theater Company), Keegan forged a path which resulted in his composition of film scores; which later earned him an Independent Spirit Award nomination as a film composer.

Since then, KEEGAN DeWITT has had well-deserved success as a solo recording artist, started his record label Big Light Recording, and is now the founding member of 2012's "Road to Bonaroo" winner, WILD CUB.

It's pretty much safe to say that it's good to be KEEGAN DeWITT right about now... ;)

TENNIS took to the stage promptly, quickly convincing the crowd to get out of their seats and converge in front of the stage (Alaina Moore admits that seated venues aren’t their first choice, as their music clearly reflects a mission to get people dancing). And for a frame that’s nary bigger than her keyboard, the girl belts out those notes like she’s been at it for decades

And, then...

SHARON VAN ETTEN headlined the set with a few close friends occupying various instruments and backing vocals (including one of Portland’s own). Between playing a hefty selection of songs picked out of nearly every point in her discography, Sharon confidently kept the crowd entranced with an amazing sense of humor that juxtaposed the emotional punchlines of a great deal of her music. Fans sticking around toward Midnight were lucky enough to catch an encore before the band retired for the evening.                                                                                                  ~Raz Vaughn, for A.D.D.

Coming soon:  ONLY SON @ Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall (8/8/12)

Looks like I'm headed out for a double-header  THIS WEDNESDAY!

First -- I'm thinking... a moderate happy hour with photog, Jonathan; then head over to the posh dungeons of  the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall to have a little chat-time with ONLY SON's Jack Dishel, who is the supporting act for (headliner) Regina Spektor. 

I'm hoping to learn more about Jack's debut album as ONLY SON, hear about his travels, and maybe talk a little trash while we reminisce about back in the day -- not sure.  After some good ol' ranting with Jack, I think I'll enjoy the after-effects from my "moderate" happy hour, while enjoying ONLY SON's set -- maybe even stay for a song or two by Regina Spektor, before safely driving fast-as-hell over to Aladdin Theater to catch the end of Tennis' opening set; but, definitely in time to catch Sharon Van Etten's entrance -- I heard she's a talker, and that I'm in for a great show. As usual, it's currently creeping into the a.m. hours, and if I want to be able to enjoy WEDNESDAY NIGHT, I'd better get my ass to sleep.

Check back soon for my interview with former Moldy Peaches band member, Jack Dishel; now known as: ONLY SON. 

For serious.

Do it.

(Okay?)

When it's not hot out, some people complain. When it's finally hot out, many people gripe that it's too hot. Some people prefer Winter over Summer. I often claim that my favorite season is Spring...

... WHO CARES!?!?

TONIGHT, it’ll be just right… with Autumn Electric.

Autumn Electric, a progg-ish, psych-folk, rock-ish band from Seattle, is not only heavily into philanthropy, but also has followers dedicated enough to ‘wet themselves’ -- ???

upon hearing about exciting tour dates ;P

Tune into A.D.D. Radio tonight @ 10 pm (PST), while sleep deprived Kimchee (me) hangs with Autumn Electric's Michael & Noami - there are some serious questions to be answered. My inquiring mind wants to know… Et tu?

So, I'm coming up for air after a week chock full o' music, midterms & major sleep deprivation... If you've tuned in and I've been MIA -- thanks for listening! And, well.... sorry ;)

***************************************

Often times, it seems that Portland marks the "last leg" of a band's tour- This factor can make-or-break a performance -- hey! I'm just sayin'...

HOWEVER.

Last night, I headed over to Stantonova to enjoy the music of the TUMBLEWEED WANDERERS, TANGO ALPHA TANGO, and PAPER & PLASTIC. When this quintet -- Jeremy, Rob, Daniel, Patrick & Zak -- started jammin', my size 8, Flintstone feet, couldn't stop moving.

Their roots-style guitar playing, combined with just the right amount of percussion, harmonica, and keys, had everybody that had shoved their way into the packed basement at Stantonova swaying their hips -- at the very least... **************************************

True to A.D.D. form, I'm not sure where, or how, I came across the tunes of the TUMBLEWEED WANDERERS -- from the first time I heard 'em, I've loved their sound. So, with my severely lacking somewhat-like-a-ninja skills, I tracked down the five guys from Oakland, and was pleasantly surprised when they actually agreed to sit down with me...

*STAY TUNED FOR MY INTERVIEW w/ Zak, Rob, Jeremy, Daniel, and Patrick = The TUMBLEWEED WANDERERS! 

************************************

Their first full-length album, So Long, was recorded, mixed, and produced at Tiny Telephone Studios by studio owner and indie rock legend, John Vanderslice.

After they perform at their nearly sold-out album release event this Thursday, held at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, CA -- the TUMBLEWEED WANDERERS are fresh n' ready to kick off their tour; they'll be traveling the country and performing night after night, as the opening act for -- yes, seriously -- NEIL YOUNG. Suddenly, these guys don't seem to be wandering anymore...
