Band Interviews

This Wednesday, April 5th, legendary indie rockers Deerhoof come to Underground Arts.  However, we’re equally excited for immediate support, Hello Mary, a Brooklyn all-female trio who dropped their self-titled debut LP last month on Frenchkiss Records.  You may have seen Hello Mary – comprised of Helena Straight (guitar, vox),...

Here at PHILTHY MAG, we’re big fans of Saddle Creek Records, home to Ada Lea, Big Thief, Indigo De Souza, Land of Talk, and The Rural Alberta Advantage.  And last month I got a chance to get to know Katherine Paul (or KP), better known as Black Belt Eagle...

This past week, in an interview for Paste, singer/songwriter Laura Stevenson – who you may have most recently seen performing Neil Young covers at the First Unitarian Church, alongside fellow former Bomb the Music Industry! member Jeff Rosenstock – admitted to being a big fan of local celeb. M....

Last September I was chatting with singer/songwriter Kelsey Wilson about her funk outfit Sir Woman, who were currently on the road, and she casually mentioned that her band Wild Child were actually preparing to drop a new album, their first since 2018’s Expectations.  Well, today...

Today LA shoegaze outfit Draag released “Demonbird,” the second single from the band’s upcoming debut LP, Dark Fire Heresy, out April 28th.  The song (and accompanying music video) – like the full-length’s first single, “Mitsuwa”— has Jessica Huang exploring and coming to terms with the religious abuse of her...

Although Lunar Vacation aren’t quite personages of Pitchfork just yet, they have certainly been making a name for themselves recently, especially around the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection, where they played three shows last year.  Last February the Georgia indie rock band opened a sold-out show for...

Denver-based husband-wife indie pop duo Tennis (with whom we last spoke in January of 2018) have played many of our favorite Philly venues over the past 10+ years, although not necessarily in a logical order…  They’ve headlined Johnny Brenda’s, Union Transfer, Underground Arts, MilkBoy, Underground Arts again, and Union...
