    Earlier this month Coco released their second full-length, and next month they kick off their first-ever headlining tour.  The band is a supergroup of friends, comprised of Dirty Projectors’ Maia Friedman, Pavo Pavo’s Oliver Hill, and Lucius’ Dan Molad.  Their aptly named sophomore LP, 2, dropped courtesy of First...
  • 20 CRAZY Concerts in 20 Years in Philthy

    This month marks 20 years since I moved to the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection.  I was the typical suburban alternative teen, migrating to University of the Arts to study among likely the only fans of The Velvet Underground and Nick Cave hailing from upper-middle-class, yuppie-breeding...

    Although I’ve never been a fan of the holidays, I am inclined to believe that they can be fun… based on The Holidays CAN Be Fun co-headlining Tour, coming to us courtesy of long-time PHILTHY friend and exceptionally quirky piano-pop singer/songwriter extraordinaire Elizabeth and the Catapult and YouTube-star-turned-exceptionally-soulful-indie-popper, Julia...
  • Lucius… Dancing and Having Fun

    I first came into contact with Lucius about four years ago, when they could’ve been described as a minimalist folk duo.  However, in the past year they’ve reinvented themselves as what could be described as a five-piece space age gospel outfit, whose influences would seem to be equal parts...
