Photo Credit: Russ - Blinkin Lincoln I've seen Pawnshop Roses live plenty of times in the past and I still get excited when I get a chance to see that band perform live. Why? It's simple, I really like their music. So, I was there for their show this past Friday night at Dawson Street Pub . I was hanging out at the back of the room and having the best of time. Now, I never like to make a spectacle of myself so you wouldn't see me [...]
Last night's live music adventure led me to The Grape Room … When I finally arrived at The Grape Room (parking in Manayunk can be hectic) it was sometime during Mike Pfeiffer 's set. It was a rather simple arrangement of Mike Pfeiffer (vocals, guitar) with a bassist and drummer. For my first introduction to Pfeiffer's music I'd have to say it was ok, then again I can't say that I gave Pfeiffer my undivided attention. Sorry. Steph Hayes and was next on the bill accompanied by Chris Schutz [...]

By: David SchultzOn their way out to Ghent, New York to play host for the Let It Roll Festival, Pawnshop Roses stopped in New York City for a set at the Bowery Electric, a venue that retains the earthy nature of the evaporating Lower East Side concert scene.

I want to introduce you guys to a band out of Philadephia that I am really starting to get into. The Pawnshop Roses have been playing their brand of Americana rock in the Philadelphia area's top venues for the past few years. In December, they got some national attention when they won the YouTube Underground Contest for Best Live Video and appeared on Good Morning America. Following the YouTube win, the band signed to Earvolution Records and hit the studio. Their first full length record "Let it Roll" is an Americana [...]

Though they are family now, Pawnshop Roses were four strangers who came together for the purpose of making good music and having a good time doing so. Years ago, singer and primary songwriter Paul Keen discovered MTV and Oasis and began teaching himself how to play on his mother's old acoustic guitar. With his new found passion and armed with a head full of songs he dove into the scene looking for right people to play his songs. Fast-forward a few years later and Keen forms Pawnshop Roses with Kevin Bentley and [...]

A Lily Allen parody is buzzing around the internets and apparently it has even struck a chord with Ms. Allen herself. The tune " LDN is a Victim " parodies Allen and some of her crew on the London music scene. Allen doesn't seem amused and a comment was left by her MySpace profile saying "So what if w'ere (sic) middle class? Just cause your mum was too lazy to get her fat ass up off the sofa and make some cash . I shouldn't be able to make tunes yeah? (which is more than you're doing by the way.)" [...]
Via Large Hearted Boy , I noticed that the Shins front man James Mercer made a great observation about the music industry that a lot of young bands seem to not get: you don't have to be a superstar to be a star or more importantly make a living playing music. Mercer is quoted saying: "You can have a real niche audience these days. A small percentage of the population is buying your records, but you can make a living off that. We sold out Madison Square Garden theater and the caterers don't know who the hell we are!" [...]
