Music seen: Pixies vs. Sonic Youth at Empire
Sublime musical match-ups
The Clash of the Titans has become a Portland staple over the last three years. Since shifting from the Big Easy to the Empire this year, the Tuesday tradition has lost none of its crowd-pulling potential.

Review: Buckethead, Wolff at Asylum
Buckethead and Wolf, live at Asylum on May 27, 2009
Little is known about the masked maniac called Buckethead. According to his mythology, he was raised in a chicken coop next door to a drive-in theater, and the bucket he wears on his head contains cursed chicken bones that give him his supernatural guitar-shredding powers.

Music Seen: Ocean and Pontiak
Ocean and Pontiak at SPACE Gallery, May 5
The day after Ocean's predictably under-attended (30-40 people) Cinco de Mayo performance at SPACE, a friend who also attended asked what I thought. "So loud," I said. "So slow," he responded. It wasn't hard to catch the reverence in both reactions.

Music seen: Clubber Lang, Antiseptic + Batshelter
Clubber Lang, Antiseptic + Batshelter at Geno's, April 10
Ah, Batshelter. What exactly are they? Punk, metal, a little of both, or something far more complex? Whichever, they've developed quite the following in the past few months.

Music seen: Adam Kurtz Band, Loverless
Adam Kurtz Band + Loverless at Empire Dine and Dance, April 4
Billed as the debut of Adam Kurtz's new band, Saturday at the Empire Dine and Dance marked an important moment for the local songwriter.

Music seen: Turn Down Day, Marie Stella, Phantom Buffalo
Phantom Buffalo, Marie Stella and Turn Down Day at Geno's, March 28
Turn Down Day opened with a song that hovered almost entirely on the A chord, only breaking with it for a slight G on the bass to distinguish the verse from the chorus. It was a bold statement.

Music seen: Christopher Teret + Huak
Christopher Teret at SPACE Gallery and Huak at Empire Dine and Dance, March 20
Chris Teret's singing is just as unassuming as his songwriting.

Music seen: Never Got Caught, Mess with the Bull + Phantom Glue
Never Got Caught, Mess with the Bull + Phantom Glue, March 14, at O’Brien’s Pub
In the late '90s, Boston (and by extension northern New England) experienced a rock renaissance.

Music seen: The Goodnight Process
The Goodnight Process, February 28, at Geno's
It is always a gamble when an all-ages band like The Goodnight Process wager their local draw in a 21+ venue like Geno's.

Music seen: 48 Hour Music Festival
48 Hour Music Festival, SPACE Gallery, February 21, 2009
"Never underestimate the power of the repeated note" was a dictum drilled into my head. Bands at SPACE gallery on Saturday night employed this method liberally, and to great success.

Music seen: Tony McNaboe
Live at The Big Easy, February 10
By the time you, dear reader, lay eyes on this, you will have one last opportunity to catch Tony McNaboe's month-long Tuesday-night residency at the Big Easy, which — according to his prediction on week two — is "only going to get better."

Death Punk Kareoke with Covered in Bees + Grendel's Army
Geno's, February 5
There are few words to describe the experience of sharing a stage with your favorite band. For most of us, even those without eight-figure incomes or friends with influence, it's the stuff of dreams.

Music seen: Pinkerton Thugs
At Geno's, January 30, 2009
It has been more than a year since Kennebunk-based punkers The Pinkerton Thugs reunited, and yet there still seems to be a resonant buzz around their return. And seeing them live, you get the sense that the band are more relevant now than ever.

Music Seen: Dead of Winter
SPACE Gallery, January 24, 2009
Peaks and valleys are the name of the game with any showcase of too many songwriters that too many people attend, but by and large, Dead of Winter retains its status as a premier night of homegrown entertainment.
