Nicole Atkins and the Sea came to town last night and Briana and Justin Lowe held a gathering so that we could eat and drink and hang out prior to their show. Melanie from Tender Forever showed up too.
Pampelmoose is a music and MP3 web site covering the eclectic independent music scene. We stay clear of major labels and their artists to avoid having the Web Sheriff gallop through our offices. We are indie at heart so we support all things indie – in all its shapes and forms.
Dave walloped the bass strings and is a founding member of the highly influential, post-punk band, Gang of Four. With his business partner, Ned Failing, he started Pampelmoose in 2005. We love music and we love the way the internet leveled the playing field for all artists.
Josh Kneedler is a highly experienced interactive designer. He began working in online media in 1997 at the birth of the interactive world, a world we now take for granted, one that has become as common as the utilities we use at home. His skills consist of design, programming, and creative direction. It’s an eclectic mix, but one that is vital to pursuing new ventures where traditional broadcast media rules do not apply. Josh understands that music artists no longer need traditional record labels. A consumer in Japan may never have heard of our local Northwest music scene so local bands need a different way to promote their independently produced CDs. Josh has the necessary skills and experience that highlight innovation over imitation to tackle contemporary challenges in the world of interactive programming, design and creative marketing. Some of Josh’s work can be seen on his web site: http://www.joshkneedler.net

The amazing thing about Dave is I didn’t even really notice him shooting all of this stuff.

[...] Last Night July 23, 2008 at 8:41 pm | In portland oregon | Tags: bangsandblurrry, Briana, jlowe, last night, Nicole Atkins, Pampelmoose Dave Allen started a trend. If a band is coming to your town – make them feel welcome. Dave and his wife Patty made awesome tacos and invited their friends CUT COPY over for dinner before their show at Doug Fir a few months back. Briana and I had such a great time that she decided to keep the tradition going. So she invited Nicole Atkins and her band The Sea over for an italian feast. We projected Daft Punk’s ELECTRORAMA on the wall, drank a selection of wines, beers, and kid-like cocktails (tang and vodka anyone?) and got to know each other. A video of the night is up here. [...]
