As you may know, I have a showcase at the HUGE Portland annual bandfest MFNW again this year! I will be playing Friday, September 18th at 9pm at East End (203 SE Grand Ave.) with Royal Bangs, The Punk Group, & Tigercity! Come out and play!

I popped up in the guide in a couple of places this year…Here is what my blurb (on page 21 of the MFNW festival guide) reads:

“LOGAN LYNN – (Dancy Pantsy)
Portland beat boy Logan Lynn has range. His songs span from slutty to romantic, from cluttered to clean as a whistle. Since signing with Beat The World Records (The Dandy Warhols label), Lynn has been cranking out peppy, electronic dance jams like a turbocharged machine. Pairing with synth-savvy local producer Carlos Cortes (of DJ collective Assemble the Empire) allowed Lynn to pump out his most polished EP yet, Feed Me To The Wolves.”

THEN…on page 36, I am the subject of the SONICBIDS half-page ad! Check it out!

See you on the 18th, folks!

That’s right, folks…TOTAL overhaul on the LL live show. Tom Filepp (aka “Cars and Trains”) has linked up with me and taken over the musical end of my show. I’ll still be behind the mic, but instead of Carlos DJ-ing alongside, you will now see Tom doing his glitch-loop live drum pad spectacle and running the laptop(s).

We’ve been putting a LOT of work into the new setup and are looking forward to sharing the new diggz with all of you at my Musicfest Northwest showcase in Portland next month! (9/18/09, East End – 203 SE Grand, Portland)

Now…For some background on “Cars and Trains” (in case you haven’t already heard):

ABOUT “CARS AND TRAINS”:

cars & trains albums consist of handfuls of microscopic crafted worlds, shaped with tiny precision. Layers of decaying feedback, sparse glockenspiel and tape samples weave a dark and dense tapestry of sound while deep brooding vocals sit atop songs with deceptive timing, subtle electronic stutters, and thunderous and organic drumming. Banjo driven four to the floor stompers yield to velvety acoustic guitar and spacious instrumentals laden with sampled americana.
