  • boygenius: Tears Before Beers in the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection

    Last Saturday, September 30th, the TD Pavilion at The Mann hosted the most important concert the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection will see all year, if not all decade.  It was the Philadelphia debut of Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Lucy Dacus supergroup boygenius, who I’ve spent...

  • Get to Know Winnetka Bowling League, This Wed. at WCL (w/ Sasha Sloan)

    Although we’re more than happy to finally have less-than-sweltering weather in Philthy in the Fall of 2019, we never get sick of mid-‘90s summertime jams… which our new friends in Winnetka Bowling League would seem to have in spades.  The band, fronted by Matt Koma, recently put out their...
