Damn Dirty Apes
For a band moving from Tallahassee, FL, to Portland, OR, it helps to have influences ranging from The Avett Brothers to Talking Heads.
Recent transplants to the Rose City, the Damn Dirty Apes were great enough to come into the KBOO studios and grace our late-night listeners with their Rock, Blues, Psychedelic fusion.
KBOO is happy to offer the night's proformance in its entirity, here at the Free Music Archive.

Dirty Mittens
In a city and an age where most pop is slanting towards minimalism and meticulously crafted apathy, the Portland band Dirty Mittens is a monstrous force of breezy pop goodness. With an ever-growing line up of guitars and horns and keyboards backing Chelsea Morrisey’s powerhouse of a voice, the band floods the stage with catchy, danceable hooks and hopelessly romantic lyrics.
I first saw the Dirty Mittens when they killed with the opening set at the 2009 PDX POP NOW music fest. It brings me great pleasure to release that performance now, under Creative Commons, with the Free Music Archive.
