Or do we?
I don’t know anymore, mang. My brain is so fried and we’ve been totally slacking on updating you on all the cool and exciting things going on in our worlds. Hopefully sometime soon we’ll get out act together a bit more and re-focus on posting more dumb awesome interviews and other crazy/stupid/weird […]

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…

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 […]

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

The Calvary Church on Baltimore Avenue in West Philly was the first place in Philly that I went to see an actual no-frills basement punk show. I’d been to other shows in the area but they’d all been in clubs. This was just a bunch of kids and a church basement. Shows were booked at […]

There’s a lot going on and the weather is properly spring-like.  Too bad I’ll be in Washington D.C. Anyway, on to the fun stuff…

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 […]

 Reminder!  This Saturday night, England Belongs To Twee returns to the Upstairs section of the Khyber. Mike will probably bust out the punk rock classics and the riot grrl jams. I’ll spin some street punk gems and some lovely indiepop or whatever other limey stuff that I’m feeling at the moment. Plus, generous sprinklings of […]

Remember last week when we told you about how seriously out-of-control fun the outdoor Paint It Black show was at Sailor Jerry in Philly? Remember the pics and video of kids doing full on dives out of a tree into the crowd? Well, wouldn’t you know that the Mosh Tree has a myspace profile.

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 […]

It’s so nice when you stumble upon a sweet zipfile of music. Seeing Red blog has a posting on Philly hardcore and punk bands from 1980-1989. It misses some bands and lists some bands as from Philly when they were actually from outside the area but let’s not quibble - it’s got tons of great old music - […]

The weekend is here. You’ve got dance parties, punk shows, me skipping out on my own punk rock dance party to go see Lewis Black in Atlantic City and lots of other crazy stuff.  Let’s get to it…

Attention all conquering lions of Judah -  on this Saturday night the lovely and talented Mr. Mike Mckee brings you theee finest in indie-pop, riot grrrl, twee and other such sweetness and simultaneously asks “Where have all the bootboys gone?”
Regrettably, Mr. Labuda will be unable to DJ that night but join us for a riveting, special […]

So like yeah…more snow forcast for tonight. Friday night is jam packed with action. Things taper off slightly after that. If you were feeling really adventurous, you could book your flight now and fly to Brussels to see Bardo Pond and Clockcleaner (among others) play the Kraak Festival. If intercontinental flight isn’t your idea of a […]

Normally we’re not in the practice of freaking out about a show but every once in a while the approaching weekend contains a show so completely off the chain that we can’t help ourselves. This Saturday, Obits make their Philadelphia debut at Johnny Brenda’s. We try to make it a practice to not get too jazzed over […]

In case you didn’t read the newzzz today [post, ht], America is at new highs in both our prison population and the percentage of our population in prison. We’ve smashed our records. We’re the worldwide champs. Most overall people in jail - 2, 300, 000! What’s up now, China? 1/99 Americans in jail! […]

A few weeks ago, before the flu absolutely crippled me for a while, a friend pointed out a weird posting on the Philebrity blog. Philebrity editor and co-founder Joey Sweeney has long since held a giant grudge against (or hard-on for) the Philadelphia noise-punk mess known as Clockcleaner. This grudge is childish to the point […]
