Music MTV Invades Portland

Is MTV interested in Portland?

Word on the street is that the fine quality network that has gifted our culture with A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila and The Hills has been filming local bands for something on Portland music.

What is it for? A sexy reality show? Probably not. Are they going to put them all in a house and roll cameras as the msucians stop being nice and start being real? I doubt it. Perhaps, it is for a brief MTV news feature of local bands? Yeah, that’s probably more like it.

The network that made Tabitha Soren the household name she is today, so far has filmed YACHT at Studio B in Brooklyn, and rumor has it, Au as well. Here is what YACHT’s Jona Bechtolt had to say about the whole thing, “They shot it while we were in New York and they didn’t seem 100% sure if they were even going to Portland. It was very weird. We lied A LOT.”

More news on this once we find out more.

**Update** The filming is for a Portland “scene report” (here is their Brooklyn one, with lots of coverage of former Portlander Todd P) set to air sometime soon.

Comments

Ew, Made is filming at my school and it's the most horrifying experience ever. The girl who is going to be on it works with me and the cameras are always I work. I have to like, lurk around the background so I don't get on camera.

*the cameras are always at work.
whoops.
