interview: wintersleep (10-16-08)

i recently interviewed mike bigelow from wintersleep/holy fuck (on behalf of wintersleep, though). wintersleep is a melodic/indie/rock band out of halifax, nova scotia and are recommended if you like band of horses and similar acts. i'll be catching them open for portugal. the man come this sunday, so it should be a good show. holler at these guys on myspace and check some of their tunes out. if you dig, hit up the 40+ date portugal tour that started earlier this week.

portugal. the man - waiter: you vultures! (2006)

god damn, i love this album. from beginning to end, this album is full of incredible songs. listening to this album reminds me why i was so disappointed with church mouth, but i'll hold my judgment till i hear their next album. and this concludes my three-post john gourley/portugal. the man ass-kiss festival. thank you for your time.

portugal. the man - 2003 ep (2003)

this will be numero dos. this is a self-released ep of some portugal. the man songs that never saw a "proper" release, but these were floating around the interwebs for a long time. i'd go ahead and say this is rare, so snatch it up. (songs include: clips comprehend and pelicans, along with three more). i'd go ahead and say clips comprehend is one of my favorite tracks from these guys. shit is hot.

the artwork of john gourley

this is going to be the first post in a series of three. john gourley, singer of portugal. the man (ex-anantomy of a ghost), is a versatile and overall slick dude. this post is dedicated to his weird ass line drawings. he's done most of the artwork for the portugal. the man, including album covers and merch. i'm a huge fan of his stuff in general, so here's my 'holla back.'
