Port O' Brien Sail Into Spaceland TONIGHT



Port O' Brien (Oakland, CA) Just imagine the girl on the left is Zebedee.

The magical Port O' Brien boarded their pleasure boat and have made their way out to Los Angeles for a show TONIGHT at Spaceland with The Builders and The Butchers. Unlike Gilligan and company this performance is only a 3 hr dealio.

I have known Port O' Brien for a while now. You may remember guitarist Zebedee Zaitz and his band Sparrow's Gate played our first ever Indie Schmindie back in 2006 (view photos here). Half the band reside in SLO county while the other half lay their claim to Oakland. The band have been touring relentless since SXSW and we are very excited and relieved to see them again. Honestly I go through withdrawals.

Port O' Brien are on at 11pm TONIGHT but I was given specific instructions to come early to check out The Builders and The Butchers who hail from Portland. From what I've heard on myspace they sound AMAZING.

Port O' Briens new album All We Could Do Was Sing Is Available Now. PS. Watch their video for "I Woke Up Today" Below. It's kind of amazing. Stereogum agrees.

1. I Woke Up Today
2. Stuck on a Boat
3. Fisherman's Son
4. Don't Take My Advice
5. Alive For Nothing
6. Pigeonhold
7. Will You Be There?
8. The Rooftop Song
9. In Vino Veritas
10. Close the Lid
11. Valdez
