the Present Future

MENSK is happy to announce that it has selected new management. I, Andrew Lyman was asked to come on and bring focus and fresh eyes to this already great organization. I am very honored to have been selected for the task and beaming with excitement for what the future holds. There is a tremendous amount of energy in this city and in this group. MESNK will be restructuring its applications and objectives in the months to come. We hope to further contribute to the mobilization of the various disparate creative energies in this town and to foster the projects which will take us as a community into the next stage of the future.

We Have a Blog and Something Like Love

Last year the Portland, Maine arts-based non-profit MENSK along with Spencer Albee promoted and hosted the biggest night The Empire Dine and Dance had seen to date with more than 600 people coming through the door over the course of the night to watch more than 50 of Portland's favorite artists from many different genres play their favorite love songs.

This year will prove to be a huge event as well, but with a couple of twists. Firstly, Spencer will co-host the show along side his new total BFF and hetero life partner Joe Ricchio. The show will be run in the format of a late night talk show called Night Cap with Spence and Joe. They will be joined by Joe Parra in the role of the talk show band leader. Over the course of the evening, The Empire and MENSK will once again host performances and short films by a number of Portland's favorite artists.

This year will feature mix and match performances from all new bands performing all new songs created especially for this event. The roster includes members of Dominic and the Lucid, The Dandy Lions, Cosades, Sarah Richardson, AS FAST AS, Confusatron, Phantom Buffalo, Spencer and the School Spirit Mafia, Chef Death Match, Pete Kilpatrick, Jonathan Wyman, Kino Proby, Rustic Overtones, Paranoid Social Club, Murder of Crows, Cult Maze, Brenda, The Cambiata, Grupo Esperanza, Marie Moreshead and MORE!
Another change of note is that this year the program will include short films by Dave Camlin of Conifer, Sean Wilkenson and The Fuge and ASSAULT KITCHEN.
