As you may have read, Allston Pudding and friends had a blast this past weekend at Great Scott thanks to Swearin’, Potty Mouth and others. I missed it! But, I did see Swearin’ play up in Maine Monday night, at Portland’s Space Gallery. Space is a nonprofit contemporary visual and performing art space- and it was the perfect, intimate setting for indie fans to bounce around in. Swearin’ killed it, duh! and were accompanied by Portland space-punks High Spirits as well as locals S.S. Cretins.

My point being: Portland is fuckin fun! Space is hosting three icelandic bands beginning on March 14th. They are Sin Fang, Retro Stefson and Hermigervill. Oh yeah, its FREE (free food too)! So if you want to get out of Boston for a hot sec, check out the going-ons of the Portland scene. Click here to preview this weekend’s event.
