Lots of stuff going on tonight…but it’s suppose to be cold and rainy. At least it’s not snowing though right? Making Time comes back tonight with special guests Yacht and Bobby Birdman. Last time I saw Yacht was with that whole Kia Soul thing and despite there being around 15 people there watching them, they [...]

What to do on a Wednesday

ttlbabysunrisingSorry for the lack of posts for the last two days, I just couldn’t keep myself cooped inside with the amazing weather that we’re having. I hope you all were doing the same. Take advantage of it too because we’ll be getting hammered with rain this weekend. With that being said, there’s quite a few things going on tonight. A handful of great shows out west, one of which has one of my favorite local acts, Algernon Cadwadaller, playing. The much-hyped the Morning Benders are playing at Johnny Brendas. And if you’re looking to get down and dirty, Sammy Slice joins Rock Tits tonight down at POPE. Sammy’s becoming one of the better djs in the city and he doesn’t get down to south Philly too often so make sure you check him out.

The group will live in a house rigged with 50 cameras that will broadcast content around the clock. Original huh? While the premise may [...]

What to do on a Tuesday

So we survived what’ll hopefully be the last snowstorm of the season and the weather is actually somewhat pleasant now. No more show cancellations or worries of going outside and walking through inches of snow to get somewhere. With that being said, there isn’t too much going on tonight. Somehow Muse got big enough to [...]

Sick of the snow yet? Yeah we are too. Luckily this go around isn’t as bad as the other ones were. Septa’s running, they’re just a little delayed and for the most part the roads are clear. Thank goodness too because Twiztid is coming to the TLA tonight! Can’t wait for that show… PYT’s having [...]

Hopefully you guys weren’t too lost for the past two days while I was MIA. More importantly, I hope you all were at the Barbary on Monday to not only see that Fugazi film, but to also see Spank Rock play with a live band. And last night two.one.five held another one of those Heineken [...]

What to do on a Thursday

Well here it is. Finally a day that isn’t holiday (or at least one that I don’t know of). This all feels a little foreign to me now. I don’t have that security blanket to hide behind anymore. But never the less, we will move on. Lots in store for tonight, I don’t even know [...]
