Jennifer Gentle w/ The Dodos and Phantom Buffalo
Doors at 9pm
Music starts at 9:30, $8, 18+
Buy Tickets at Virtuous.com |
Jennifer Gentle is an Italian psychedelic avant-pop project created by songwriter Marco Fasolo. The band's new Sub Pop record "The Midnight Room" "pulses with a nocturnal, feverish, hallucinatory emotional atmosphere, making for a truly unique aural experience." The Dodos is Meric Long and Logan Kroeber. Long sings, plays piano, guitar and even trombone. He writes the songs. Kroeber holds down the percussion job. It sounds like a lopsided distribution of duties, except that the drums are massive -- booming, throbbing, gut-slugging, room-ripping attention hogs. They bellow, growl and howl. Phantom Buffalo got votes for "best school spirit" by their graduating class, probably because of their pop-inflected, sometimes jangly, sublimely melodic and notably narrative songs.

Marissa Nadler
Doors open at 9pm,
music begins at 9:30, $7, 18+
|
Melancholy East Coast singer/songwriter Marissa Nadler blends the traditions of British folk and dream pop into an atmosphere all her own. Raised in rural Massachusetts, Nadler took to painting first, a passion she still puts into practice, but it was her love for music that drove her to become proficient with nearly every stringed instrument she could get her hands on. Like the work of contemporaries Faun Fables, Espers, Joanna Newsom, and Josephine Foster, Nadler's compositions sound both timeless and otherworldly. http://www.marissanadler.com/ |

The Photo Film and Lecture Series: An artist talk by Dan Monick
Doors open at 7:00 PM,
Talk begins at 7:30, $5, all ages
|
Dan Monick began making photographs as a student at Hampshire College, where he relentlessly documented his life and presented it in lots and lots of very grainy black and white prints. After a stint playing in rock bands and touring the country endlessly in a van, he returned to photography with a move to Los Angeles in 2001. He's made films and worked as a fashion photographer, and his work has appeared in Paper, Swindle, Dwell,XXL, Rolling Stone, The Journal, Spin, Arkitip, Fader and Vice. For a time he worked as a co-curator at the Jeff Electric Gallery in Los Angeles, focusing on first shows for new artists. He has shown his own work at the Nicole Dintaman Gallery, Studio 7, 4016 Gallery, Lather, Han Cholo, Hollywood and Highland, Gallery 1269, Fluxco Gallery, and The Jeff Electric Gallery, and Soo Visual Arts Center.

Spouse with Winterpills
Doors open at 9pm,
Music
begins at 9:30, $7, 18+
|
Spouse has been compared to the Replacements, Pixies, Pavement and sometimes the Cure. But don't think of them as retro; really, they are a continuation of the style of rock that emerged when they were all learning how to be a band. They are probably the best band that you've never heard of; or if you've heard of them, the best band you've never paid enough attention to. Winterpills wallow in richly articulated melodies and carefully rendered arrangements. But despite a muted palette, the band keeps attracting light and hopeful elements.

An Evening with George Saunders
Doors open at 7:00 PM, event begins at 7:30 PM, $7, All ages |
The Telling Room, Greater Portland's nonprofit community writing center, presents an evening with award-winning writer George Saunders, whose stories devastate, surge with laughter, and somehow retain a sweet compassion for even the saddest of sad-sack characters. It is these characters, often speaking in an unsortable mix of advertising lingo, technical jargon, and self-help advice, who lead us into the strangest corners of America-from dystopian futuristic theme parks to absurdly small countries. Author of three acclaimed collections of fiction, including CivilWarLand in Bad Decline, as well as a novella and a New York Times bestselling children's book, his anticipated first book of nonfiction, The Braindead Megaphone, will be released in early September. High school students interested in meeting with Saunders for a free talk on the craft of writing earlier in the day should call The Telling Room at 221-0780.

Magnolia Electric Co. and The Watson Twins
Doors open at 9pm,
music begins at 9:30, $10, 18+
Buy Tickets at Virtuous.com |
Jason Molina, the creative chief and sole constant member of Magnolia Electric Co. is indie music's itinerant wanderer, steeped deeply in the history and mythology of American blues, country, and British Isles and Appalachian folk. He's just released a limited edition box set on Secretly Canadian (it actually comes in a wooden box). It's been some time since the band (previously known as Songs:Ohia) appeared at SPACE, and the return will be warmly welcomed. The Watson Twins play a collection of melancholic, intimate songs created with a raw, soulful approach, which embody the traditional soul, gospel and country harmonies that surround them. They're known for their work with Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley) on her first solo record. Joining the red haired songstress from Tokyo to Berlin, through the US and back again, the girls enchanted each sold out audience with their soaring choruses and angelic sound.
