Well if you live in or are traveling to Philadelphia tonight you will have a multitude of great shows to choose from. At Johnny Brenda's you can catch some great indie hip hop with Food For Animals, Mi Ami, and Pissed Jeans. If that doesn't satisfy your hip hop quota then, swing over to the Tritone to see the Alien Architect. If you like indie rock, I mean really good indie rock, the North Star has you covered with Drug Rug, The Bye Byes, Ezra Furman & The Harpoons, and Movable [...]
Much fuss has been made over the last few years about the exodus of musicians and artists from Manhattan and Brooklyn to the relatively greener pastures of Philadelphia. Hey, we get it. We pay rents here too and have watched neighborhoods seemingly gentrify themselves overnight. To that end, Philly has offered our displaced and huddled masses an attractive alternative, a (gasp) somewhat affordable and thriving arts scene without a lot of the bullshit. But what happens when we move beyond Philly? Apparently, we arrive at a place where Mel Gibson once spied crop circles (if we're [...]

Many of you might be thinking, "Yo Pasta! Where's Toofer Toosday? I need my Toosday fix, dangit!" Well I had a crazy morning and things kind of fell apart on me.

So who has Doug Wallen, writer for Philadelphia Weekly chosen as the hot indie Philly bands to watch in '08? Read this article for the dealio. Have to hand it to Doug; he's definitely made some excellent choices including cover girl Tickley Feather .

Inspired by my guest post today over at The Late Greats , here's a Philly music bonanza for you to check out. When The Duke asked me to pick my Philly 7 From '07, I couldn't just stop it at 7 and decided to take it to the limit. Worst Trip - Dr. Dog Dr. Dog myspace Ball of The Dead Rat - The Teeth [...]
(I asked Bruce to lend a hand this week...) I'm honored to have been invited by The Duke to contribute this edition of 7 from '07. Call it the New Sound of Philly. With so much incredible talent here in the City of Brotherly Love (and surrounding 'hoods) it's hard to just pick seven. But since that's the concept, I'm rolling like a river on it. So much talent, so little time. Worst Trip - Dr. Dog [...]
