When cryptozoology meets music….

The Portland Phoenix has invited me, Loren Coleman, to be a “celebrity award presenter” at the annual Reader’s Choice Portland Music Awards in Portland, Maine.

See you there, if you are there.

Portland Music Awards feat. Performances by Brenda + Holy Boys Danger Club + Lady Lamb the Beekeeper
Asylum
You have, we hoped, stopped voting. We have counted the votes. Now, we will dish out the awards. Yes, it’s time again for our annual celebration of local music, as the Best Music Poll results are unveiled at the Portland Music Awards at Asylum tonight. Winners in nearly two dozen categories will be announced, and apart from that we’ll have plenty of free food and performances by Brenda, Holy Boys Danger Club, and Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, along with some other very big surprises we’re keeping mum about, like perhaps the largest gathering of local performers on one stage you’ve seen in a while. Come see! Doors open at 5:30 pm at 121 Center St., and the show begins around 6:30 pm.

And the nominees for the 2010′s Award for

Portland’s Best Best Category-Defying Act

are

Arms Against A Sea

Big Blood

Confusatron

Dan Knudsen

Selbyville

Vince Nez
