Well, that sure didn't last a long time. The band formerly known as Church?who changed its name to Ape Cave after the Australian '80s pop sensation the Church threatened to sue its ass?have decided on a different moniker: Hosannas. Yep, the quartet never played a show as Ape Cave, and it seems like this [...] Related posts:

The best cure for the post-Super Bowl Monday afternoon doldrums? The Funky Church! It turns out folk singer Alela Diane?who just moved back to Portland after living in Nevada City for the past two years?loves Southeast Portland's Funky Church just as much as I do. Here we see Diane perform "Dry Grass & Shadows" from [...]

A few months ago I posted a video of Alela Diane singing "Dry Grass & Shadows," the first single from her lovely record To Be Still, at the Funky Church. The clip?filmed as part of the DUMBO west sessions?was gorgeous and felt spontaneous, with Diane backed up by her father on guitar. Now that To [...] Related posts:

Whoa dudes, this is pretty cool. Both Alela Diane and Laura Gibson?two of our favorite local chanteuses?are making some series waves across the pond. Diane just recorded a set on the BBC's Later with Jools Holland, and the beautiful take of "Lady Divine" is streaming there right now. Unfortunately, the clip isn't embeddable at the [...] Related posts:

I don't normally do this, but the guys from Marching Band are crashing
at my place for a few days. They're such nice and likable guys (and
in need of gas and food money), that I'm sending out a 2nd email in
the hopes that a few of you will come by to check it out. Let's show
Sweden how we do it - show starts at 8 and costs $5.

Hello Folks,

My bandmate Richard managed to sniff out a show with Marching Band
this Friday at the church. Marching Band is from Sweden, but
currently doing a residency at Spaceland in LA. We talked them into
coming up the coast for a short tour between their weekly gigs and are
very excited about it. They're a tasteful pop band with a resume that

after her mysterious death in 1991, Yanka's music continued to be
distributed non-commercially through dubbed mix tapes. While walking
in New York City's Brighton Beach neighborhood, Alina Simone happened
