A special evening of handpicked music and media by YVYNYL will be taking over the late shift at KFN tonight after multifaceted entertainer and former local area gal Eve makes an extremely rare appearance for a free early show sponsored by Converse Classics. The well-respected Philly-based music blog will play host to daydream-y Los Angeles indie popsters Warm Weather. And they'll be joined by two of Philly's most quirky acts. What started out as Brendan Mulvihill (a.k.a. Keith Birthday) strumming on an old mandolin in Tomsk, Russia has escalated into a supercharged weird folk duo that [...]
Someone forgot to tell ECC, Voxhaul Broadcast and The Satellite that it was a Monday night because this was definitely a Saturday night energy.

After kicking off Friday night with the triple-headliner bill of White Arrows , Andy Clockwise and the Fling , [...]
With only a short time to captivate and charm, ECC executed a spectacular performance.
You think you know what to expect from ECC? Think again. With no label restraints, well, what can I say... when the cat's away, the mice will play.

Eastern Conference Champions, with Ostrander (front) [...]
Photo by Bob Jacques * First up under the heading of this brand new blog feature are L.A.-based indie-rock band Eastern Conference Champions (often abbreviated as ECC), whose EP, Santa Fe , was forwarded to me while I was on my travels. The band, originally from Philadelphia, have been gigging together since 2005 but have especially gained notoriety this year after having their song "A Million Miles an Hour" included on The Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack. This fantastic track, with its heavy [...]

You can stream them live from mixcloud.com or download exclusively from us We Are Not a Rock Band. Aren't we good to you.

Download : Ecce - Heat (Pharao Black Magic Remix) Le duo bâlois Pharao Black Magic offre un remix disco de Heat de Ecce. Un Heat qu'ils n'hésitent pas à ralentir et à épurer de ses riffs post-punk pour mettre l'accent sur des synthétiseurs vintage désaccordés. Leur alliance avec la voix de Ecce rappelle un Tiga encore cotonneux d'une sieste guère réparatrice, mal réveillé d'un rêve aussi trouble qu'agréable. Quelques mélodies au kitsch maîtrisé, une ligne de basse profonde et un rythme lourd, on est pourtant loin d'une ambiance [...]
Eastern Conference Champions back in Philly – I'm so excited! Eastern Conference Champions ( ECC ) is an indie-rock trio with a unique style that is unreal. Members include: Joshua Ostrander (vocals, guitar), Greg Lyons (drums), and newest member, Melissa Dougherty (bass). Ostrander's voice is distinctive with an absolutely beautiful tone that sings truly heartfelt lyrics. On any given day you might find me rockin' out to an iTunes playlist of nothing but ECC's music covering The Southampton Collection (EP) , Ameritown , and [...]

Its been a while since I blogged, what with my computer contracting digital AIDS. This forced me to grovel at work for a new hard drive, my boss then rewards me with a mountain of work, so finding time to blog has been limited. But now I'm back and I thought it appropriate to bang on shamelessly about the gig I went to tuesday night. Having been very excited about seeing Kap Bambino at Offset festival, I was massively gutted to have missed them because of my aimless wandering from place to place (mostly the campsite which looked [...]
