The Fillmore

  • Griff, Exploding into the US (1/29 at The Foundry)

    Last week UK pop phenom Griff and Norwegian electropop chanteuse Sigrid released the most uplifting jam 2022 has had yet, “Head on Fire.”  The collaboration began when the two shared a pizza at the Reuben Selby show at Fashion Week in London and quickly started bonding over life as...
  • UPSAHL: “Everyone should be ready to rage!” (1/15 at The Foundry)

    2021 produced a plethora of noteworthy releases, but I haven’t found myself namedropping any as “album of the year” as much as UPSAHL’s Lady Jesus.  The debut LP from the Phoenix-based singer/songwriter is a raunchy, alt. pop wet-dream-come-true of party-playlist-perfected bangers… quite a feat, considering that the last time...
  • The Backseat Lovers Play Philly Big and Small (12/1 at The Foundry)

    Fans of Provo, Utah-based indie rockers The Backseat Lovers are likely beyond excited that the band has currently lapped themselves, tour-wise, with two legs of their current tour already on the books, including more than one stop in a handful of markets, and Philadelphia just happens to be one...
  • GAYLE: “I’m gonna be a bitch sometimes…” (12/7 at The Foundry w/ Winnetka Bowling League)

    “The biggest thing to know is I’m a 17-year-old girl and things are gonna change in my life.  I’m gonna be a bitch sometimes because people piss me off, I’m gonna fall in love…  My goal is to keep continuing my life and let that inspire my music,” says...
  • Bad Cop / Bad Cop: “Expect a really fun, positive, life-affirming experience!” (11/12 at The Foundry w/ Anti-Flag)

    It may be starting to get chilly out, but this Friday, November 12th, The Foundry at The Fillmore will be hosting a sold out night of punk rock summer jams.  Headlining the evening will be Pittsburgh punk legends Anti-Flag, with support coming from all-female outfits Bad Cop / Bad...
  • Ashnikko, Angst and All the Rest

    Last Wednesday it looked as though The Fillmore were hosting this year’s Dracula’s Ball: 2,500 twentysomethings donning fishnets, vinyl, knee-high platforms with enough buckles to restrain Dr. Lecter, and intentionally faded and mangled vintage band shirts that have actually probably been produced in the last calendar year…  On second...
  • Wild Rivers on the Beauty of Live Music (10/4 at The Foundry)

    “You put content of music out into the abyss and that doesn’t always feel like when you put music out to a person,” says Khalid Yassein, guitarist, vocalist, keyboardist, and songwriter of Canadian folk rock trio Wild Rivers.  The band spent the better part of the pandemic working on...
  • 5 Reasons to Get Your Tickets to Melanie Martinez at the Fillmore, Next Wednesday

    In an era when digital-only EPs and surprise midnight releases seem to be all the rage, you really have to give it to a mega-pop star who releases her latest album as an accompaniment to a feature-length film of her own.  Last month electropop chanteuse Melanie Martinez released K-12,...
  • Catch up With Phoebe Ryan, Saturday at the Fillmore with Carly Rae Jepsen

    I’m sure that all of Philadelphia’s unabashed pop music fans are well aware that this Saturday, July 20th, The Fillmore will be hosting Carly Rae Jepsen, who first gained mega-notoriety with 2011 teen pop smash single “Call Me Maybe,” before going on to churn out Ptichfork-approved, synth-fueled dance pop...
