Back with a bang (yeah, yeah)! I’m no longer slacking at the beach and I’m here to give you some info on what to do in Philly on this fine Labor Day weekend.

FRIDAY:

I won’t front, STILL ILL is my own event. That said, I honestly wouldn’t recommend it if I thought that it wasn’t going to be fresh. For real, it’s gonna be hot. Labuda (that’s ME! Fun Vampires) + Gordon Bombay (and dim sum) + plus special out of town guests…Chris Burns (disco city, Washington DC) + DJ Prettyboi (electro/boogie/jack music, Bmore)
9pm-2am. 21+ the M-Room. Three bucks to get in where you fit in.

SATURDAY:

Medusa Lounge has Sex From Above with Shawn Ryan & Chris Rogy plus a special guest set by Ryan Dumas 10pm. Free.

Drink that Duttywine with the Strawberry Mansion DJs Upstairs at the Khyber. 10pm. Free.

SUNDAY:

Acid Mother’s Guru Guru are playing at Johnny Brenda’s. It should be pretty wild. Guru Guru are some Krautrock groop from way back when that I’ve never heard of. Acid Mother’s Temple are a heavy Japanese psyche bands. The two are forming like Voltron to crush your head. Did I ever tell you about the time me and Zac Carr saw High Rise play in Tokyo inside the Asahi Beer building at an art opening? 9pm. $12.

This is going to be EPIC! [click.] and Rizumu present The Institubes Paris Terror Club Tour featuring Para One, Surkin, Curses, and Orgasmic. But, wait, there’s more…you also get the [click.] resident smashers Pink Skull and Dirty Dave P. And, Krikor is upstairs along with Thomas La Obscure (Philly, Rizumu) and Accidentally (Philly, Foundsound). Finally, John Schenk (Philly, Pop Ambient, Tantrum Tonic) will be outside! $10. BYOB. The Vacuum 1741 N. Second St. (Second & C.B. Moore)

MONDAY:

Monday is a holiday and you need to be hitting up a BBQ somewhere. At night you’ll want to go to Johnny Brenda’s to see (rimshot, please…) Neil Hamburger! 9pm. 21+
