I am a huge fan of Alela Diane, though I have not had the chance to see her live. She is an old soul in a young body! I was impressed the first moment I heard her. I have never seen or heard of the other artists, but I really enjoyed the music. Thanks for sharing these talented artists. Love from Texas!
This is all nice and some great performers . . .. but what is up Portland!?!? what is it with all this dire earnestness?! When did this town get overrun by such somber self-importance?! Such cutesy folksiness? . . . . what happened to the city of the Wipers? the Kingsmen? Why do these transplants all feel the same, dress alike, all joke in hushed nice tones and woodsmoke and golden light . .. where is the edge? the irony, the humor, the savy this town used to have? it all feels so constrained by a middle-class politeness that wears the wood paneling like a flag of 'authenticity'. The 70s moved into the 80s aesthetically for a reason; everybody got exhausted by the earnest feelings and macrame - angularity, irony, irreverence and DISCOMFORT were a breath of fresh air . . . bring some of that back to PDX please . . . .
I'm just being a curmudgeon - I live here and know what you're saying - though a larger percentage than 5 wears its 'earnest meaningfulness' on its flannel sleeves . . . I like that Houndstooth seems, at least, to take from Rockabilly and early Rock-and-Roll - Rockabilly, which is big here, has the benefit of being mannered, and self-consciously so, -aware that its a front, a fabricated image and therefor loath to be too serious about its 'feelings' -at least not all the time -whereas a large portion of the 'scene' here in PDX drips with precious seriousness (oxymoronically - like a coffee mug emblazoned with a Nietzsche quote) -oops, sorry, curmudgeonly voice again . . . .
I believe this is paradise on Earth. Thanks Hauskonzerte, wonderful work (again) !!
