Remember, if you wanna get listed, send us your tips / event listings.

Too much is never enough. It’s going to be close to 100 degrees outside this weekend and there’s literally too many things going on. I love it…

Way way back when it was a cold winter, the White Ts White Belts party (with DJ’s Emynd and Bo Bliz - who we talked about last week) played host to a totally D.I.Y. live performance by Philadelphia’s own Freeway. Patrons at the Arts Garage (R.I.P.?) were treated to a bunch of Freeway songs when, […]

Oh man. Things have been so hectic around here. Me and Hans got all dramatical for a minute just added to the stress. I can’t wait to just take a few hours to depressurize and chillax. That said, there’s a million things to do this weekend. Get out there…

Three day weekend edition! Yes…

Last Wednesday, Philadelphia heavy hitters Clockcleaner played a show in Brooklyn with The Dustheads and the reunited Midwest hardcore legends Negative Approach. I missed the show but word is that it was pretty epic. The ‘Cleaner are no strangers when it comes to pulling epic pranks but it’s pretty safe to say that Negative Approach […]

When’s it actually going to be like nice weather Spring-time? I’m getting sick of all this rain…

Lately, Philadelphia bands have been scoring fairly high on the indie-rock tastemaker site Pitchforkmedia.com.
Today finds Pattern Is Movement scoring a not too shabby 7.9. Earlier this month, the ‘Fork gave Philly by way of Brooklyn singer SantoGold a respectable 7.1 and the debut album of West Philly weirdness from Tickley Feather rated a 6.7 on […]

The 2006 documentary film American Hardcore does a decent job of telling the story of the rise and fall of the first wave of hardcore bands. One interesting segment in the movie occurs when the film makers gets all the original members from the Boston hardcore band Society System Decontrol back in the same room together. […]

of hair?  Found on WFMU.

I think it’s supposed to rain all weekend. Sucky! luckily, there are lots of fun things to check out

I just got back from seeing Tragedy at the First Unitarian Church. I’m covered in sweat and crust-punk neu-smell. I’m tired/ I want some pizza. Yet still I give you the weekend picks…

This weekend is the 5th annual Bent Festival in NYC. May 1st it’s in Minneapolis. I wish I could go to this, but I’m going LARPing out of town instead (for serious).
The Bent Festival is an annual art and music festival celebrating DIY electronics, hardware hacking, and circuit bending. Each year we invite artists […]

Pitchforkmedia is known for being a sort of indie rock tastemaker. It’s usually not known for it’s heavy metal coverage. That said, the site’s Show No Mercy column is consistantly good. Today they posted an interview with the Philly sludge-metal band Javelina (say it ha-va-LEE-na). Pitchfork give props Javelina’s self titled debut album on Translation Loss Records. Javelina big […]

I think that I love springtime more than any other time of the year. It’s not cold anymore but it’s not so hot that you want to die. This is probably going to be the first weekend where the weather is warm and the sky is sunny. Get out there and shake those winter blues […]

I’ve heard some people complain that the indie tastemaker site Pitchfork.com has no love for bands from the City of Brotherly Love. I don’t know how true that is but today is a decent day for the Philly indie scene to shine in front of a larger audience. Not one but two bands from the […]

Who cares about a little rain when there’s a million great events going on in the city of Philadelphia? Spingtime rules…

Pi Lam’s XXX Annual Human BBQ is this Saturday in Philly. It should be a wild time. Me, MTS, Cullen Stalin and the invincible Dave Nada are DJing in the basement. As if that wasn’t enough, check out all the crazy bands that are playing…

Forget Rap O’Clock, dun - it’s rap week…an entire week dedicated to rips of old hip-hop tunes over at at the ever excellent dollarbinjams blog. Why? Um, because the Philadelphyinz are getting you hype for their Sunday 4/6 Rap Bar Mitzvah at Silk City. Which will be awesome - duh.

Let’s play good news/bad news: The good news is that I’m not puking my face off this week. The bad news is that you are potentially not puking your face off this weekend because there’s not a whole lot to choose from. I mean, if you wanna puke, you got choices…
