Today, the brand new @tradiebaby_ LP, “A Means To Get a Handle on Things” was released exclusively on the Lemon Throne Records bandcamp, with a wider release coming May 29.
This album is the brainchild of Portland, OR’s Hitch Bradley, and contains 12 wonderful songs for working class dreamers, ranging from a whisper to a storm.
We made this album over the last year with the help of some amazing musicians (Maria DeHart, Eric Ohman, K Cashion)and had a great time and we’re very proud of this one.
Please check it out exclusively (for now) at the lemon throne records bandcamp, which is conveniently accessible through the linktree in our profile.
I know instagram algo law dictates that you’re absolutely not supposed to post show flyers unless you give them money, but these ones by @kathryn_p are just too polluminescently vibrant to not get their own post.
6pm gig at the @pdxswandive on April 26!
We got @silvermedalband , @queenrodeoband (and the debut of @clover.nahabedian on keys for the @p.a.holmes band)

Pleased to announce that we will be continuing the @lemonthrone / @xrayfm Sunday Matinee series at @pdxswandive in the early evening of April 26 (albeit slightly later than previous months 6pm start to account for the ever-changing angle of the sun.)
Very excited to have @silvermedalband and @queenrodeoband on the bill, with @p.a.holmes kicking off the show with a full-band set (and the debut of @clover.nahabedian on keys!)
And would you just look at these beautifully vibrant flyers that @kathryn_p designed!
$10 adv / $15 DOS, so go get your tickets at
Good news! We’re t-shirt salesmen now!
Hot off the presses, it’s two new, absolutely iconic @smallfieldband shirts! and with such a wide chasm between them in regards to color and style. Wow.
Get em at lemonthronerecords.bandcamp.com or at a Small Field gig. Perhaps even the one tomorrow, March 21 at @turnturnturnpdx
And here’s some portrait-oriented photos from last night’s Swan Dive show that of course must be posted separately, because how could Meta ever be expected to make multiple aspect ratios work in the same post? It’s scientifically impossible and everybody knows and accepts it.
Great job to the players and the clappers last night.
Great gig last night at the @pdxswandive . Thank you to @madiigaines and @britesband and @p.a.holmes for playing, to @xrayfm for having a birthday, to everybody who came for coming and saying nice things.
We even shot a music video for an upcoming @tradiebaby_ song. What a night.
Let’s all do it again sometime. Next month’s show will be announced soon!
We got this big ol gig coming up this very sunday at 5pm, and would you just look at all the beautiful flyer variants we got from LT art director @kathryn_p
Announcing the next in the Sunday Matinée series, co-presented by @xrayfm !
It may be over a month away, but it's the short month so we gotta start planning for the future!
Sunday March 15, 2026, come to @pdxswandive and see the loquaciously bodacious @madiigaines , the inimitable and equitable @britesband , and the return of the @p.a.holmes trio.
Let's all GET TO THE GIGGGGG

Thanks to everybody who came to the gig on Sunday, and additional big big thanks to @tradiebaby_@postrich_bear and @cowboydchris for playing!
Here are some photos of those very musicians!
We did it early this month but we’ll be back March 15 with a show that I am going to announce so so soon.
We got another Sunday Matinée coming up February 8 at @pdxswandive !
Co-presented by @xrayfm , this installation will feature @tradiebaby_ , @postrich_bear , and @cowboydchris and is sure to be the perfect conclusion to a chilly weekend.
5pm on February 8, don’t be late cause late isn’t great.

We had such a nice gig last night, and it was so good of that big flock of people to come spend their early Sunday evening with us and @smallfieldband and @sitprettypdx and @tradiebaby_ .
Here are some photos of the landscape variety, (because instagram of course knows that portrait and landscape should never under any circumstances be grouped together) and i hope that they will convey to you that there were bands and they were onstage doing their lovely things and then everybody went home at a reasonable hour.
Let’s do it again sometime. How about February 8th?
