Baby, you’re a star

I’m excited to announce that Ancient Heat’s next show will be April 21st at the lovely Star Theater in downtown Portland.  We’ll be playing the closing party of the Rebooting Democracy festival.

Anyway, we’ve wanted to play at Star for a while so we’re gonna make this one special!

more info to come soon…for now, learn more about the festival here.

 

Let It Rain

From the Willamette Week:

“For the past few months, the Oregon Historical Society has been host to Oregon Rocks! an exhibit focused on the rich musical history of the state. As that exhibit draws to a close, the OHS has decided to go out with a bang. They’ve teamed up with local curators and music makers to create Let It Rain, a CD compilation of Oregon-based artists from the present covering songs by Oregon-based bands of the past…

Here’s where it gets really good: OHS is holding a closing night party for the Oregon Rocks exhibit that will feature sets by disco revivalists Ancient Heat, Alan Singley’s new band Arrow Of Light, and – gasp – a rare appearance by punk legends Napalm Beach. ”

The show is this Sunday at 6:00, you get a free CD with the purchase of a ticket.  See you there!

Here’s some stuff we’ve been listening to recently


Bob A Rela-Spend The Night
-I recently found a copy of this at 360 records in Downtown Portland. Such a good track!


The Whispers-And The Beat Goes On
-essential. I play it almost every time I dj


Loletta Holloway-Crash Goes Love
-I wish there was a proper video for this song, Loletta goes off!


Midnight Magic-Calling Out
-Another huge disco ensemble out of NYC, these guys have been blowing up recently. They played here a few months ago and it was one of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. They have a new EP that’s available to download for free, go here to check it out.


Space-Air Force
-you probably recognize the sound from their hit Magic Fly. A little cheesy but it’s all good!

Anyway, you should come check out our new DJ night at Valentines. It’s called Love Sensation. John and Brendan will play dub, disco, italo and whatever other funkiness they choose…all night long…

This Saturday! 9:00//Free
