Lost on Liftoff
Congratulations to Lost on Liftoff, who just won Best New Act in the Portland Phoenix New Music Poll!
I first heard their music when their drummer, Shane Kinney, who is also a kickass standup comic, dragged me into his freezing car after our show on New Year's Eve. We drank our pilfered beers through chattering teeth while we waited for his heater to warm up, and he wouldn't stop babbling about this new band he was in. I knew better than to interrupt him. A drunken Shane Kinney is a force of nature. So before I can politely find a way out of the car, whose heater STILL hadn't come on, he slides in a homemade CD, and cranks it.
And I was blown away. And apparently, so were the fine people of Portland, Maine.
Check them out here.
His success is unsurprising, however, for Shane and I have bathed in the sweaty mojo of the Karaoke Cowboy!
