KNW YR PDX Wayne's World Ain't Nothing to Experimental Half Hour
Posted by Travis Ritter on Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 12:48 PM
Public Access Television isn't just for the preachers, psychics, call-in cranks, and boner-riffic hard rockers in their mom's basement. Here in Portland, Channel 22 is home to Experimental Half Hour, where some of Portland's more adventurous bands perform live thirty-minute sets amidst colorful, molten psychedelic video effects and green screen explorations. The bi-weekly program, which airs multiple times every week, has so far done ten episodes, the latest featuring experimental garage compatriots Blood Beach. For their set, Blood Beach performed both older sides from the bands EP and new tracks from their forthcoming full-length. The results are delicious and mind-melting.
If you're not tuned into Channel 22 on the boob tube tonight at midnight, you can take a gander at their twenty-four minute long set below. Welcome to space, dawgs.
Experimental Half Hour is produced and filmed by Brock Fansler and Eva Aguila at Portland Community Media. They have so far produced videos for the likes of Eternal Tapestry, The Miracles Club, and Dangerous Boys Club, among others. You can watch what they've done so far on their Vimeo page.
Conflict of interest pony insists that we mention the fact that Ethan Jayne of Blood Beach is an occasional writer for this very paper.
