  • Kassie Carlson of Guerilla Toss: “Philly always brings the party…” (4/28 at JB’s)

    Over the past decade, New York-based art-rock outfit Guerilla Toss has gained a reputation for more or less reinventing themselves with every release…  And last month the band released Famously Alive, their fifth full-length and first on Sub Pop.  The album, while embracing the noisier elements of their past,...
  • Hailey Whitters: “I’m a songwriter, not a heart surgeon.” (2/25 at The Foundry)

    Although she’s currently in the middle of her first-ever headlining tour, there’s a good chance that country music fans of Philadelphia are already familiar with Hailey Whitters.  2019 saw the Iowa-born, Nashville-based singer/songwriter supporting Maren Morris at The Met and just last November she opened for Midland at the...

  • Talk About Introspection, with Outer Spaces (Wed. at JBs)

    Although Jay-Z-Palooza is headed for the Franklin Parkway this weekend, I can assure you that, if exceptionally mediocre mainstream hip-hop isn’t your thing, the best bill to hit Philly this week will be at Johnny Brenda’s this Wednesday, August 28th.  Our favorite Fishtown ballroom and watering hole will be...
  • 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,...
