  • Summer Cannibals Talk Disrupting the Status Quo, “Guitarmonies,” and Other Fun Stuff (Thurs. at B&S)

    Portland rockers Summer Cannibals released their fourth full-length this June, Can’t Tell Me No, which has proven to have a number of our favorite summertime jams… although not in the traditional sense… The album rings heavily of the best kinds of ‘90s rock, blending riot grrrl swagger with the...
  • Flashing Back to 2013 with Dog Party (Tonight at MilkBoy with C.J. Ramone)

    Although you normally need to venture to Fishtown or South Philly to catch a good cozy, sweaty rock show in the City of Brotherly Love at Sisterly Affection, this weekend MilkBoy’s really got the Rock’N’Roll.  Saturday night the Center City bar/restaurant/venue hosts Thunderpussy, bluesy hard rockers who still believe...
  • Death Valley Girls Talk Death, Dogs, and The City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection

    Although this was never intended to be part of the story, I’ve actually spent much of the past few hours live-Tweeting back and forth with LA-based punks Death Valley Girls about the 18-inning, Game 3 of the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox… And,...
  • Kate Nash Premieres New Music Video and Confirms She’s Back to Wrestling

    Earlier today our very favorite singer/songwriter, post-riot grrrl British vixen Kate Nash, released her newest music video, “Hate You,” the latest single from Yesterday Was Forever, her fourth full-length, which dropped this March.  The video, directed by Aidan Zamiri, takes on a seemingly ‘80s-inspired, hyper-camp horror aesthetic, which would...
  • Get to Know Another Side of Renata Zeiguer, Tonight at B&S

    Tonight, our very favorite nearly-Center City venue, Boot & Saddle, is hosting a stellar lineup.  Opening the evening is local, post-riot grrrl rocker extraordinaire, Madalean Gauze, and headlining is ineffably quirky Chicago noise poppers, Ohmme.  However, we may be most excited (but not by a lot) for Renata Zeiguer,...
  • Kate Nash on Going Back to Pop and Learning to Wrestle

    So, Kate Nash hasn’t exactly been missing, but it has been a while since we’ve heard from her… musically, at least.  Last month the British singer/songwriter released Yesterday Was Forever, her first full-length since 2013’s Girl Talk, and earlier this month she kicked off her first US tour in...
  • Skating Polly, at Their “poppiest and slickest”

    It’s hard to imagine many people are having a cooler year than step-sisters Kelli Mayo and Peyton Bighorse (along with recent addition Kurtis Mayo, Kelli’s brother), better known as Skating Polly.  The post-riot grrrl, alt-rocking power-poppers recently wrapped a batch of dates supporting X, they’re preparing to join Kate...
