We’ve got a festival. We’ve got great weather. We’ve got some stuff that I’m doing. Philly, this weekend is gonna be fiiiiiiiiiine.
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…

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 […]

 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.

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 - […]

There was a time when the Manayunk neighborhood in Philadelphia was actually tolerable. Main Street had a really sweet farmers market that was sort of like Reading Terminal West or something. Those days are long gone - the farmers market was knocked down to make room for bougie crap like Restoration Hardware which was in […]

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 […]

See, this is what I’ve been talking about.  There are soooooo many things to do this weekend that it’s going to be really hard to pick where you wanna go. Friday night alone is enough to my my head explode.

Labuda is AWOL but sent me a message through VC trail to let me know i need to post the weekend picks for him! I don’t know anything about social events because i am a hermit, but i will post what he has here and check the tip inbox for anything that looks fun for […]

I vaguely remember the first time I saw the video for Agnostic Front’s Anthem. I wasn’t really into heavy metal that much anymore but I used to religiously watch the late night Mtv shows Headbangers Ball and 120 Minutes and the last hour of both shows would usually have some videos with some of the […]

Calling all twee kittens - this Saturday night, me and Mike McKee are doing our monthly England Belongs To Twee night at The Khyber.
Featuring your humble narrator, that is me, Labuda. And, my pal Mr. Mckee. We bring you the absolute finest in pop and oi! and every so often we throw in some punk […]

Come in from the cold to get some healthy doses of Philadelphia brand hip-hop and hardcore punk.  The weekend is going to be so fun.

 
Paint It Black are a Philadelphia hardcore band. They are also fine gents who have a new album coming out. This weekend they are having a record release blowout series of shows. We are talking free stuff and great punk rock (two great tastes that taste great together). These shows are gonna seriously be off the chain […]

Here’s a quick photo sampler of last night’s revelry on the famed and storied path of 2 Street on New Year’s Day. The babes, babies, booze, underaged drinking, broken glass, cops, fights, pizza, thugs, harmony, are truly something to behold, after the jump.

Look, I’d be lying if I said I was really into New Years Eve. I’m not. I think that it’s mostly just boring and I really don’t get what all the fuss is about. I still like to have a good time though and, if I was going out to anything other than the house […]

I kind of thought that things chilled out a bit right before the holidays - not the case. There are sooooo many fun things going on this weekend that I’m really having a hard time trying to pick what stuff is worth your precious time and cash money…

Calling all twee kittens - this Saturday night, me and Mike McKee are doing our monthly England Belongs To Twee night at The Khyber.
This month is the annual Christmastime For The Skins edition of EB2T and our special guest DJ is our friend Maria Tessa Sciarrino of WPRB / Plain Parade fame!
Here are some fun […]

Fixed Push, motherfucker!

I think that it’s probably no secret that I really do think that Clockcleaner are one of (if not thee) best bands that the City of Brotherly Love has to offer. And, while I have mixed feelings about the perceived power of the Pitchforkmedia website, I was pretty excited to see Clockcleaner’s Load Records debut - Babylon […]
