Some friends of East Portland Blog recently pooled their knowledge of music sites and I’d like to share it with you:

1) Wolfgangs Vault; King Biscuit Flower Hour live concerts were merged with Bill Graham’s live archives, www.wolfgangsvault.com. The concert list is HUGE! It now features archival videos too!!
2) YouTube; my fantasy site is real, and has come to the Net via, www.youtube.com. Limitless live concert performances are available, from the worst fan shot clips to entire pro shot movies and TV appearances. Videos and promotional clips are abound too.
3) Antigone Rising’s site; www.antigonerising.com. They are my favorite band. They ROCK! Great songs, playing, harmonizing, etc. And, the ladies are really funny between songs in concert. See concert videos on ARTV, and YouTube!!!
4) Julia Darling; my favorite singer since 1999, www.myspace.com/juliadarling; and www.reverbnation.com/juliadarling. There is not enough of her music on the Net. Buy the records.
