Lost Portersville Music Recovered!  During the summer of 1999, at the cusp of a new century, Portersville began tracking their unreleased EP "Portersville" in Middletown, CT with Michael Arafeh. This "lost" recording has intrigued fans and non-fans alike with an elusive nature akin to Dylan's "Great White Wonder" project with The Band, coupled with the obscure remains that is Skip Spence's "Oar" LP - an architectural relic.
During travels around the former Soviet Republics of Moldova and Armenia, erstwhile WCNI DJ Chachi came across a group of pirate radio operators, who had paid great sums of money to secure the lost tapes of Connecticut pop ensemble "Portersville" before their release. The idea was to buy in early on a possible 17 Relics reunion in hopes that the new band could actually get the job done.

"IPG Isn't Really a Band Anymore" 
The Incessant Pop Group was like a meteor, blazing across the night sky before evaporating just as quickly, leaving an indelible line for the audience.
The group consisted of two multi-instrumentalists, James Burke and Luke Hunter, coupled with the voice of Julia Farrar. They created their infectious electro-rock using the most primitive tools, making modern music within the context of minimal technology. This blend was at both engaging and tuneful, making their shows move with a motion and energy rarely seen from more seasoned groups. |

Luke Hunter Releases the Dizzying Heights  When Mr. Hunter was just a young fourteen year-old regular at the Mystic Disc, he and good friend Jaime Burke approached djshecky about recording a demo of their first band, the Incessant Pop Group, at shecky’s Centraal Studios.
The group released two EP’s to wild success, but as the third EP was being recorded, a unique technological outbreak occurred in the electrical feed during their last show at The Space in Hamden, CT. For some still unknown reason, the IPG sequencers were wiped clean, so they decided to huck the hulking mess into the Mystic River during a blind post-gig rage. This action effectively ended the band, which is where Luke found the inspiration to record a debut solo recording.
