flyer by Ron Gassaway

Welcome to 2008! Odds and Ends Vol. 3 "The Sight and Sound of Music Videos" is just about here!

To celebrate we will be ringing in the New Year by bringing a bevy of local PDX as well as international Music Video making stars together under one roof for an evening of really rad independently produced music videos.

For artists including:

Lederhosen Lucil, Ohmega Watts, Mattress, Arthur and Yu, A Weather, Jean Grae, Plastic Little, Dan Deacon, Future Islands, Jakarta, Scream Club, Unrecognizable Now, Montague +?

Made by filmmakers such as:

Allen Cordell, Nate Goodman, Whitey McConnaughey, Kara Blake, Chioke Nassor, Ted Passon, Autumn Andel, Matt McCormick, Uli Beutter, Cat Tyc and Adam Long, Grace Carter, Melanie Brown, Tyrone Olsen, Mike Mudd, Ron Gassaway, Gretchen Hogue, John Bacone, Chris Bennett, Rob Tyler, Ali Cotterill, Vanessa Renwick +?

The idea with this screening was to re-capture some of those long forgotten moments back in the day when you could just zone out watching a certain corporate Music Television channel for hours on end (back when they actually played music vids) and for nostalgia's and ART's sake ODDS AND ENDS will be reclaiming the airwaves from the corporate buffoons for one evening and doing it how it should be done: All Art all the time. Does anyone else remember USA's "Night Flight"? Am I showing my age now or what....

As usual I didn't have to go farther than my backyard of Portland to begin locating some quality music vids, I also found a few more gems from the East Coast in Allen Cordell's videos for Future Islands and Dan Deacon, soon after not far away in Philly I found Ted Passon's video for Plastic Little and then I stumbled upon the most delectable treat in the form of Canadian Filmmaker Kara Blake's video for Lederhosen Lucil.

So on January 12th bundle up and head down to Gallery Homeland, we're looking forward to welcoming you to our new digs at the Ford Building and having a few brews and checking out and enjoying a fun packed evening of independently produced music videos SO PLEASE JOIN US!
