When I spoke to Gabi Gamberg, AKA Daffo, in May of this year, ahead of a June stop at Union Transfer on a run supporting Blondshell, the former Philly-area resident and currently LA-based artist spilled to me that they would be back at the Eraserhood ballroom in November, supporting...

Los Angeles-based/Bologna-bred synth pop trio Nuovo Testamento – comprised of Chelsey Crowley (vocals), Giacomo Zatti (drums), and Andrea Mantione (synth) – will be spending their Halloween at Baltimore Soundstage, sharing a bill with our old phriends Scowl and new phriends Whispers (along with co-headliners Sunami).  And while Scowl, Sunami,...

Our old phriends Magdalena Bay are gearing up for their third local headlining show this year, and their somehow “most intimate” yet, playing the 2,500-capacity Fillmore on Sunday, October 26th.  However, we’re just as excited to see LA-based, marine-inspired Oxis, whos’s been opening the Imaginal Mystery Tour for the...

The last time we saw Blondshell in the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection was when she opened Franklin Music Hall for Exile in Guyville’s 30th anniversary tour, which — I find out during a recent Zoom chat — was apparently the first encounter our phriend, and one-time...

We were super bummed to have zzzahara’s headlining show last month at MilkBoy get cancelled… but super excited to see that the LA-based singer/songwriter – whose music draws references to shoegaze, garage rock, and emo, alike — will be back in town this week (accompanied by jazz musicians that...
