Garbage

Next month, our phavorite locally based internet radio station, Y-Not Radio, officially turns 14.  And this Thursday, June 6th, Kung Fu Necktie will be hosting the Y-Not Radio 14th Anniversary celebration with English slacker pop phenom Lauran Hibberd (opening the evening is local bassist and songwriter Harlee Torres).  The...

Industrial pioneers KMFDM have played Philadelphia countless times over the years.  Sascha K and his cohorts (which have included now-wife Lucia Cifarelli on keyboards/vocals and Andy Selway on drums since 2002, along with Andee Blacksugar on guitar since 2017) have headlined The Trocadero and TLA a plethora of times...

There are still tickets remaining for My Morning Jacket’s shows this Friday (10/27) and Saturday (10/28) at The Met, the band’s most intimate area appearances since they played the Tower Theatre in 2015.  And while it is a rare opportunity to see the psychedelic Southern rockers indoors (in an...

I know all of my local loved-ones are beyond excited to see Garbage celebrate the 20th anniversary of Version 2.0 tonight at The Fillmore (Yeah, it’s exciting enough to warrant going to The Fillmore…), but I highly recommend getting there early to catch the opening set from Rituals of...

About three and half years ago I was falling in love hard with the music of Madi Diaz, a singer/songwriter — who grew up in Bucks County and went on to be a star pupil of Paul Green’s School of Rock – who had recently shifted her aesthetic from...
