Three day weekend edition! Yes…

More than enough has been written about Diplo, and if I have to ever read another interview where he talks about moving to North Philly, starting Hollertronix, breaking up with MIA, or popularizing Crunk, I may have to start poppin’ glocks down at the local alt weekly offices.But with amidst all the furious typing, one […]

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 […]

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 […]

There’s no real rhyme or reason to it. Some weekends there’s virtually nothing going on and other weekends have toooooo many things going on and it’s impossible to choose what you would actually want to go to.  This is one of those too many weekends…choose wisely!

The internet has been boiling over with poop excitement since the free diy record label poibella released its debut album, compoi0. The album is free to download and contains 29 banging and semi-banging tracks from a variety of “artists.” Poibella plans to release several solo albums this year (also free) and then compoi1 next summer. […]

Dear Fun Vampires,
It’s too hot in my room and I need to get out and do something but I don’t know what to go to. Can you help?
Love,
Melty
Never fear, Melty. We’ve got your Weekend Picks!

I just got back from lunch and I feel like my face melted off in the oppressive pre-Summer heat.  Try to stay cool this weekend but don’t slack on going out to these worthwhile events and having some fun.

This morning I noticed that Pitchfork reviewed “Flight Of The Bass Delegate,” the new Jai-Alai Savant record. They gave it a pretty decent score , too. Which is more than I can say for their score of the newest Hail Social record.
Anyway, I don;t know if I can really consider J-A S […]

FV recently e-sat down for an interview with this youtube legend. Whether you’re an old fan or an ignorant loser, read on to get the inside track and catch the videos.

Reminder!  This Saturday night, England Belongs To Twee returns to the Upstairs section of the Khyber.  Mckee prepares for the upcoming KTMWQ reunion by busting out the punk rock classics and the riot grrl jams.  Labuda drops some street punk gems and whatever other limey stuff he is into.  Plus, generous sprinklings of brit-pop, reggae, […]

The Philadelphia Film Fest is coming up April 5 - 18. To get ready, I looked through the entire Program at a Glance, carefully viewing each tiny picture and reading each 20 - 30 word synopsis. My informed, well-intentioned review of each movie, based on this minute information, after the jump.

March is Schnipper Month, both on the internet in and in real life!

The Vampires were out in full force Saturday night when they descended upon the Kyhber. Despite their best efforts,  the fun could not be sucked out of England Belongs to Twee . All three Dj’s being full fledged Fun Vampires contributors, it was hard for the rest of us to justify staying in our coffins. […]

Pictured here is Tiki Barber with some Golden Krust patties. Tiki is currently pushing Mickey D’s with fellow NY football useless running back/media whore Curtis Martin, but before Tiki got extra lame, he was down with the patties. I know FUN VAMPIRES is a Philly based blog, but I like to bring a […]

Today’s morning music is a Philadelphia resident, known as Sensation that apparently is a secret star in Jamaica.
