![Dirtybird Players @ The Mezzanine [Show Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4970788_lg.jpg)
The Dirtybird crew is something of folklore. Their head Claude Vonstroke is an enigma in the worldwide booty house scene, signing numerous artists from all around the world to his eclectic label and headlining at just about every major club around the world. The SF-based music label has been all around the world together as well, influencing each area with their own version of booty-bumpin’ tech house, but every now and then they decide to give back to their own home, the beautiful city by the bay. And we adore them. Only four of these parties happen a year, and [...]

Taken by the talented: BlakeLarsonPhoto.com Last night I headed to Philadelphia's sweaty basement of the First Unitarian Church to catch Philly's own adopted punks The Menzingers. I actually got there so late that I missed every opening band, but somehow made it in time to catch the headliners (I really lucked out). The place was sold out, sweaty as fuck, and packed. I'm not going to lie, there was a period of time back in 2011 where I was seeing them all the time, but I sort of started taking The Menzingers for granted. [...]

Holy crap! I knew Shotgun Jimmie 's new album, Everything Everything , was great, but I had no idea if it would be any good live. He killed it at the Biltmore over the weekend, performing a great set that had him playing drums with his feet and guitar with his hands. On one memorable tune, he played guitar with one hand, hammering onto the fretboard while playing the ride with his free arm. Everything Everything is below. This one is a lock for my upcoming Polaris ballot. [...]
