Eidolons are one of the best young bands in Portland, and I feel lucky to say that this live record is also one of Banana Stand's best.

Alameda - Live from the Banana Stand will be released in physical form on Thursday, June 5th at Mississippi Studios. Please enjoy the preview track "A Violence," available in advance of the June 10th digital release.
Alameda is one of our favorite acts in Portland's folk scene, and the group's live record and videos demonstrate why. They just seem so natural. Two of our favorite qualities are authenticity and sincerity, and you can't help feel that when you listen or view.

Polyrhythmics - Live from the Banana Stand will be available from all finer digital retailers on April 22nd. In the meantime, please enjoy the preview track, Labrador.
Horns are up front. That's what I remember from the stage directions we received from Polyrhythmics. It's a good metaphor for this band's sound. Polyrhythmics' groove -- and, believe me, Polyrhythmics do groove -- is driven by their fantastic rhythm section. But, the band puts their horns up front. And they rip.

Radiation City - Live from the Banana Stand will be released in limited edition albums through CD Baby on Thursday, November 7th at Neumos in Seattle. Advance tickets are available to purchase online.
There's not a hint of hyperbole when we say that this record is one of the best we've ever recorded. If you're a fan of Portland music, you likely well know the talents of the Radiation City. But to hear their exprectly crafted doom-pop be carried out nearly perfect in a live setting is truly remarkable.

Old Age - Live from the Banana Stand will be released on Tuesday, July 16th at Bunk Bar as part of a special, double-album release show for the band's studio EP as well. Supporting acts for the evening include The We Shared Milk along with Charts. 9pm, $5, 21+.
We had heard great things about Old Age before we ever heard their music. Hailing from Corvallis, Oregon, the band has a great reputation for putting on shows outside of Portland - a much needed service for up-and-coming bands looking to find more listeners. Of course, after we heard their music, we knew we had to get them in to record.
