Let's end today's Highlights on one last faux-antagonistic note. There are two killer indie-rock shows happening in downtown Portland tonight. Band members are desperately competing for audience members with flyers and Instagram posts and last-minute text reminders to mom. Which show will win? Will it be the gig at Blue Portland Maine (650 Congress St.) co-headlined by Night Hawk, the Brunswick-born septet now based in D.C., and Brooklyn's Whiskey Ginger, with salsacore faves El Malo opening at 8 p.m.? Tix: $15 (18+). Or will it be the bill at the Apohadion Theater (107 Hanover St.) topped by power-punks Gum Parker, with Normal Sixes, Lolabelle and Robert Samantha at 8 p.m.? Tix: $10-$20 (pay whatcha can; all ages). @bollardhead Your ringside seat to all the action!
Topped by power-punks
πΆAroostook and Penobscot π΅

Presumably Crocodile will be last. We can figure out an order later maybe. That's a pretty even split for vocal duty. Croncodile
Probably gonna play croncodile at the show on Friday
Whoa, did you know it takes the exact length of @gumparker.bsky.social 's The Brakes to make a batch of pico de gallo? Neat!
My band @gumparker.bsky.social got me an ancient can opener because I kept complaining that they donβt make good ones anymore

Please come to Blue right now. Tyler is playing and then later we will play and both our guitar players are having a really good hair day
Sonically,Β Gum ParkerΒ leans into the scrappy, jangly corners of indie rock. Itβs loose but intentional, catchy but unpolished, with just enough punk bite to keep things unpredictable. Listen to ou favorite track this week titled Two Subarus via sodwee.com/blog/2025/04...
Here's a great and totally unexpected write-up on a @gumparker.bsky.social song from the good folks at @sodwee.bsky.social

And now: The fourth and final part of Rosy Overdrive's Top 100 Albums of 2025. The top 25 albums of the year!
Well I'm just all kinds of excited to see the @gumparker.bsky.social record sneaking into the top quadrant of Rosy Overdrive's 2025 list! As per always, check out the great batch of songs at the link below.
And then part 2 of the @rosyoverdrive.com top 100 also features some familiar faces! @jefftobias.bsky.social and @teenagetompetties.bsky.social both put out very different very exciting records and they appear here as consecutive even number neighbors on the list

End of Year list time is officially now! @rosyoverdrive.com (who listens to more new albums than anybody I've heard of) has the excellent Lone Striker record on the top 100
Itβs bandcamp friday why not get yourself something pretty and give us some money
Congrats @gumparker.bsky.social for making my top this year!
Gum Parker: the band with two people who make two pies
I got too pumped up at practice and smashed in the input jack of my guitar crashing into the other guitar player (sorry Jason, thanks for agreeing to fix it)

oh man, wow!
I am so stoked to appear on Rosy Overdrive's Label Watch list.
It's been a busy and ambitious year for the label and it's fantastic to have that recognized.
We heart emoji our label, @repeatingcloud.com. Maybe even double heart emoji.
Guess what itβs practice night. Band practice is at seven pm tonight
(I donβt think he actually cares but he was adamant that we could not name it most of these names)
