Preview: Musee Mecanique

By todd • October 21, 2008

Tonight is the third straight week of can’t miss Tuesdays over at the Mill as part of the newly introduced Tuesday Night Social Club. This week, Portland’s Musee Mecanique will be rolling into town with a new album in tow. Hold This Ghost, released on September 30 by Frog Stand Records, is an updated version of a previously previewed album that’s finally seeing the light of day. And while we’ve had to wait longer than we like, the boys from Portland are making it up to us (they’re so kind!) by playing for free tonight at the Mill. If you missed MM last time, you’re missing out on some of the most downright heavenly tunes to hit your ears all year. Last time they visited, their performance was so captivating that I felt that the Yacht Club existed outside of time and space for the duration of their set. They’ll surely look to repeat that tonight. Warming you up for them will be local troubadour Sam Knutson. They’ll be followed by the rowdiness that is Broken Spokes. Doors are at 9, cover is always $0, and there’s always a good special for cheap booze.
