Once upon a time, way back in July (well it feels like forever ago, anyway), I caught a rare live show performed by Philadelphia's The Bye Byes . Since that night, front man Pete Shauger and I have been playing interview tag. Over the course of a three month long conversation, we talked about our respective histories with the saxophone, the MySpace/Facebook revolution, and the band's vacancy for an agent. Enjoy!

If you're in Philly tonight you have some great options for shows. You could go see The Bye Byes, Venomous, and Air Traffic at Johnny Brenda's or you could swing by The First Unitarian Church to check out Islands, Magic, and Street Carnage. Have a good one! mp3: The Bye Byes - Leftover Lois mp3: Islands - Life In Jail
It's Saturday and there's a world of shows tonight, but if you're from Baltimore(as are we) then you might have a bit of a trek to get to them.

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 [...]
As the week goes on, the shows keep getting better and better. If you're in Philly you might have a tough decision on what show to attend. It will probably come down to what mood you're in. If you missed Wu-Tang in Baltimore last night, you can check them out tonight at the Trocadero . Or if you fancy indie pop rock, there's the dynamite line-up of New Motels, Long Walk Home, The Bye Byes, and Swivel Chairs at the Khyber . Or perhaps you crave the alt-blues-folk-rock genre. In that case [...]
