Preview: Sallie Ford at Mississippi Studios in Portland on March 7

Sallie Ford at Mississippi Studios in Portland on March 7Named Portland's Best New Band back in 2010, Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside would release two full-lengths and an EP before Sallie said "smell ya later" to the Sound Outside. As we reported to you in December, her new backing band is all female. As OPB notes: "Ford is in between labels, but she's got the look of someone about to show the world exactly what that Camaro's got under the hood. She's heading a brand-new band, fresh out of the studio with material produced by Chris Funk... So this band of Sallie's - it's an all-lady line-up, with heavy hitters like Anita Lee Elliot, who used to be in [the late] Viva Voce." Here's the interview:

If there's any justice, the sky should be the limit for this hot, young band who has new music in the can and (I would hope!) their choice of labels. "The Eagle has Landed," indeed!
