Village Green Productions Kick-off Party

There's a new booker-promoter in town. Say hello to Village Green Productions, "A Philadelphia-based company that is trying to give you more reasons not to move to NYC." Here's hoping they do just that. By the looks of their kick-off party at The 941 Theater tonight, they will be doing great things.

Here's the Skinny:

It's $10 and all you can drink. Show starts at 9. Keeping with the home town feel, all bands are Philly-based and encompass numerous genres. Get there early and stay for them all: Dreamy indie-pop performed by Brown Recluse Sings and Audible. Music a little more atmospheric and ambient with Gildon Works. And of course, our favorite transplants, Jukebox the Ghost, a definite antithesis to the other bands, but should mix well. This will be a great showcase of local talent and a great start for the new bookers on the block. Hope to see you there!

Brown Recluse Sings - Western Meadowlark
Audible - The Fireman
Gildon Works - Sold So
Jukebox The Ghost - Hold It In

Big Saturday In Philly

Lots to chose from tonight. Hell, see them all!

The Swimmers

Johnny Brendas keeps getting bigger and better. A little write-up in RS Hot Issue. The best bands around and always supporting the best of the local scene. Saturday, Philly's own The Swimmers are having their CD release party for the long awaited Fighting Trees. Hometown artists Audible and Denison Witmer join the fun.

Lastly, The Khyber has some great acts from all over. From Leeds, UK is The Lodger. They are joined by Canadians Small Sins, electro-pop goodness, as Spin said "Imagine if Jack White had a crush on Kraftwerk". Local quintet Brown Recluse Sings who are comparitive to The Shins and Page France are the openers.
