Ya I know it’s dick freezingly cold in Philly right now but who gives a shit? Get off your asses and go see some shows this weekend. Friday the 20th: Ecstatic Vision @ Kung Fu Necktie As you can tell from the video these dudes are fucking heavy, psych rock. I’d say more but I think…
I’m going to continue the trend Bake started a few weeks back and talk about another classic, yet under-appreciated, Pearl Jam album… No Code. Released in 1996, two years after the widely successful Vitalogy, it’s always been one of my favorite PJ albums. No Code was a definite departure from their first three albums….
I’ve been digging The Districts since I saw them open for Dr. Dog a few weeks back and as I mentioned before I was pretty blow away by their performance. These dudes are young but they don’t play like it. They’ve got a great folk rock sound that combines clever, catchy lyrics with sweet and…
It’s a rare occasion that I venture to NY to see a show but in this case it was well worth the trip. Dr. Dog took the stage at the Music Hall of Williamsburg for the second night of their 8 show run in New York. It had been quite awhile since I’d been able…
I don’t really know how to categorize what John Kelsey does but I’ve been a fan since the first time I saw him play. He was wielding some sort of a homemade synth keytar, ripping an epic Talking Heads cover and I though fuck this guy knows how to party. There’s a little bit of…
So I’m going to continue my trend of recommending albums that have been out for awhile and you’ve probably already heard of… but you know what fuck it. So on that note….. I love this album. It Still Moves been in my top ten ever since the first time I listened to it. My Morning…
It was Friday, I was done with work, I wanted a beer or two (or ten) and the word on the street was there was a good show going down at Milkboy. I didn’t know much about Quiet Life or The Bailey Hounds but I’ve seen Mike Quinn a few times and he’s got a…
Thursday: Underground Arts Bonefire Presents Langhorne Slim, TJ Kong and Cajun Seth. Don’t know much about about Cajun Seth but Langhorne Slim and TJ Kong are the real deal and Underground Arts is a solid venue…. also they sell 22oz PBR’s so there’s that. Friday: Johnny Brenda’s Low Cut Connie and Ron Gallo. Low Cut Connie…
It’s a rare occasion that I venture to west Philly these days. It’s as good a place as any but from the heart of south Philly it sort of feels like traveling to a foreign land. I’d been hearing rumors about American Diamond Recordings for awhile, so I figured I may as well make the…
Fig. 1 Aside from being what I wish I had majored in at college ‘Snake Oil Superscience‘ is an awesome album. It’s heavy, spooky, fuzzed out and it makes me feel like I’m surfing with the devil (see fig. 1). The Mad Doctors are from Brooklyn and they sound kind of like I imagine Sabbath…
