Pickathon
Filed Under Updates | Leave a Comment
The Birds on a Wire Festival is part of Stereopathic Music’s ongoing labor of love to bring great bands to the Palouse. As it happens, a lot of the artists that’ve come through in the past—arstists like Horse Feathers, Laura Gibson, Sera Cahoone (among many others)—happen to hail from the Pacific Northwest. As we’ve worked at this, we’ve come to a deeper appreciation for the truly great indie folk scene thriving in Portland and Seattle and thereabouts. We’re humbly pleased to be a part of that, not least because that kind of music—that slightly off-kilter, adventurous take on folk and country and other roots music—really resonates with us. This music is part of what pleases us to call the Northwest home.
Another festival worth your attention and ticket-buying dollars is Portland, Oregon’s Pickathon Indie Roots Music Festival. It’s coming up August 6th-8th at the Pendarvis Farm just outside the Rose City, and this’ll be the 12th year they throw this party. In addition to a beautiful setting on 80 first- and second-growth timbered acres, plenty of camping and hiking, and a family-friendly vibe, they’ve got a killer lineup of bands. Seriously, this is almost a laundry list of the artists we want to bring up here—Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Deep Dark Woods, Roadside Graves, Megafaun—and if you go for the Birds on a Wire lineup, you’ll find plenty to dig at Pickathon.

John Gleason of the Roadside Graves: “Above all I admire and consume because I am a fan.”

The Stereopathic Interview
If I could find the time to write more, Stereopathic’s readership would have, by this time, been subjected to a lot more semi-literate posts on Metuchen, New Jersey’s Roadside Graves. The band released my favorite record of 2009, My Son’s Home, a sprawling and ambitious 18-song record dense with beautifully-detailed characters and stories related via singer John Gleason’s bourbon-throated rasp. Since I still don’t really have the time to write, I’ll spare you any further rock-critic-journalist hoo-hah. “Writing about music…” goes the oft-quoted (and rarely attributed) aphorism, really “…is like dancing about architecture.” Read more

Finn Riggins in the Green Room
Filed Under Updates | 2 Comments
We were honored to have our great friends, Finn Riggins, perform the first, legitimate, Green Room Session (in the green room before their show at the BellTower on Feb 5th). What a blast! It was great to hear Finn Riggins as we’d never heard them before: completely unplugged. This arrangement of “Wake” features Lisa on acoustic guitar, Eric on accordion, and Cam on the chips ‘n salsa (and some sandwich meat tupperware). Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

If you’re into music and you’ve been in Moscow, ID for very long, you’ve heard the name Danny Botkin at least a few times (dude’s playing all the time!). We caught up with him at The Storm Cellar a week or two ago and he was kind enough to play “Rain” for us. Hope you like it!

Sorry for the break - I don’t know what to say. While I’m making apologies - sorry for not including MP3s on this post - I had trouble logging into our FTP server and didn’t have time to figure it out. There is, however, a lot of music to enjoy in this post via videos and embedded Lala music players.
Here is a random assortment of worthwhile things to check out today:
First off, some breaking news: Vampire Weekend landed #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Congrats boys!
You might remember the lovely actress, Charolette Gainsbourg from the Stereopathic Podcast (we doubt you remember her from anywhere else). Her newest album, IRM, can be streamed for free for one whole week in advance of it’s release here at NPR. I suggest you give it a listen. Beck co-wrote and produced the whole album. Here’s the video for Heaven Can Wait:

We were delighted to have Samuel Dickison stop by the Green Room this weekend and play one of his new songs, “Bones and Everything.” As you know, we’re still fine-tuning this process, so please bear with us. (This week we were working with a new camera and had issues with the mic). Hope you enjoy it!

Welcome to the Stereopathic Green Room
Filed Under Updates | 4 Comments
Hello Folks - if you’ve been to the site recently, you might’ve noticed a new category up top: Green Room.
We’re launching a new film project where we’ll be capturing live, backstage performances from acts passing through our little town.
We’re still fine-tuning the process and working out the kinks, but we’d like to invite you to take a look and give us your feedback.
Our first Green Room session was with a local artist, Jared Dunn, performing “When I Fear the Darkest Night.” Come on back to the green room, sit down indian style on the floor, and listen in with us.

More to come soon!
