Lucky for us, our new favorite bubblegrunge outfit (Apparently our favorite genre, according to Spotify.) is based right out of Fishtown!  The band, who’ve already released two singles and are preparing to put out their debut EP at the end of the month, are comprised of five Millennials with...

During a recent phone chat with The Gaslight Anthem’s Benny Horowitz, I find out that the drummer for the New Brunswick heartland punk rockers actually has quite the history with the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection: “I wear Yankees hats and am a fan of New York...

While 2024 has already given us opportunities to see “classic albums” by Ride, The Charlatans, and Deap Vally in their entirety (the first two on the same night), I was equally entranced by Kim Gordon’s front-to-back performance of her 2024 LP, The Collective, this past Friday (6/14) at Union...

“The live shows are heading in this doom jazz direction,” says Nashville musician Rich Ruth during a May phone chat.  Although Ruth is perhaps most recognizable as a touring member of Americana singer/songwriter S.G. Goodman’s band, he also spends just as much time on the road with his own...

The last time The Dresden Dolls played the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection was December of 2007, when they appeared at Theatre of Living Arts.  At the time, Lou and Bowie were still with us, the South Street landmark was known as “The Fillmore at the TLA,”...

This Friday, May 31st, the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection will have two opportunities to see Oakland-based garage punk quartet Shannon & The Clams, who will be playing this week’s WXPN Free At Noon at World Café Live, before they play a full-length headlining set that night...

Last week local punk rockers Mannequin Pussy played their seventh consecutive sold-out show at Union Transfer.  It all began in August of 2021, when the Marisa Dabice-led band opened the first three dates of Japanese Breakfast’s five-night run at the Eraserhood venue, marking the official/unofficial return of live music...

Last July we officially announced the release of Holey Water, the most recent LP from “all-female, queer Southern Rock DIY band” Thelma and the Sleaze, after a chat with TATS frontwoman and only constant member Lauren “LG” Gilbert on her 38th birthday.  The chat was in advance of the...

This coming Saturday, February 24th, Union Transfer will be hosting two amazing acts that we haven’t seen in the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection for quite some time.  Headlining the evening is garage rock legends The Kills, who were last in town when they played the Eraserhood...
