Band Interviews

Atta Boy took eight long years between their first and second LP… so it’s not entirely surprising that it was more than a decade into their career before the Americana-tinged indie pop outfit embarked on their first proper tour…  The L.A.-born quartet formed in high school and released their...

“Personally, I haven’t celebrated Halloween in quite a while… because I’m, you know, considered witchy and gothy.  I always get associated with Halloween,” says Allie X during a recent Zoom chat, laughing.  However, this Thursday, October 31st, is a big occasion for the Canadian synth-pop savant, who will be...

It’s been more than six years since we’ve seen Spanish alt-rockers Hinds in the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection…  But this Friday, October 25th, you’ll have two chances to see the Madrid-based duo in the 215, when they’ll be playing a midday set at World Café Live...

The last time we spoke with Daffo was just six months ago, when the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter (who resided in the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection not so long ago) was on their very first tour, supporting alt-rockers Sir Chloe, which included a stop at The Foundry.  However,...

“You can expect lots of harmonies, lots of silly stage banter, and lots of fun arrangements of sad songs,” says Maine-based indie folk singer/songwriter Louisa Stancioff of her first of two upcoming appearances in the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection.  On October 16th Stancioff, Molly Parden, and...

Tonight, Portland metalcore outfit Dying Wish kick off a nearly monthlong double-headlining jaunt with Long Island, New York hardcore band Pain of Truth (where they’ll be joined by support acts Outta Pocket and Balmora), which will feature Dying Wish’s third show at First Unitarian Church on October 28th.  In...
