featuring...
ALELA DIANE  RADIATION CITY  BARNA HOWARD
HOUNDSTOOTH   LOST LANDER  VIKESH KAPOOR
PWRHAUS  NEAL MORGAN



“The Traveling Tapes – Portland” turned out to be a 40-minute video-mixtape featuring some of the best talent Portland has to offer at this time. Alela Diane performs a stunningly intimate, gripping version of “Lost Land” on the porch of her house. Radiation City brighten a shadowy appletree-garden with their jazzy, supersmooth blend of harmony-heavy folk. Barna Howard charms a sunny afternoon in Rose Garden with the longing beauty of the calm fingerpicking-tune “Lend Me A Moment”. Extraordinary drummer and lyricist Neal Morgan chips in with his unique spoken word poetry, performed in famous Tonalli’s Donut-Shop on Alberta-Street. Lost Lander give proof of the band’s very special chemistry and sense of catchiness while Ben Darwish of Morning Ritual croons a heartbreaking R’n’B-lamento in his studio at Falcon Art Community. Vikesh Kapoor contributes his gentrification-ballad “Ode To My Hometown” right off Mississippi-Street, PWRHAUS jump on a streetcar for an unusual live-performance of “Broken Man” and Houndstooth deliver “Emilia” of their current Album “No News From Home” with tequila-fueled intensity.

Dr Cosmo's Tape Lab



"Disappointing Todd Rundgren gigs, Tascam 4 track cassette recorders, animal oddities, The Monkees, cider, children's tv shows from the 80's and sci-fi movies (good and bad) are all ingredients to the sounds of Dr Cosmo's Tape Lab."




Released 30 March 2015 via Sugarbush Records, vinyl available from HERE, and their bandcamp, HERE.

Dr Cosmo's Tape Lab, hailing from Glasgow, UK, comprises of Stuart Kidd (ex. Owsley Sunshine, vocals/drums/guitar) and Joe Kane (one time BMX Bandito, vocals/casiotone/bass synth).
