Portage and Main had their CD release party last night at a sold out Anza Club. This is their debut CD, they had never played a live gig as Portage and Main before and they sold the place out. Clearly there is a lot of excitement about this band. Adrian Glynn opened the night before The Sumner Brothers hit the stage. Next up Portage and Main (John Sponarski and Harold Donnelly*) who graciously took the stage with a heartfelt thank-you to the sold out audience. They played a good chunk of the album and probably would have played more if not for time constraints. The crowd was completely elated with every song. A very strong (never mind first) show, Portage and Main are easily living up to the hype that surrounds them. Not only is that the best The Anza Club has ever sounded (I'm talking sound quality here) but Portage and Main didn't miss a note. Download the album here and support this rad new band you won't regret it. I hate comparing new bands to other bands (no i don't, I actually get a little high from it) but if I had to say who they sort of sound like, I would go with Band of Horses.
