2nd Annual Black Landlord BBQ at Uke Club (Rescheduled for Aug. 29)

When Maxx and the the rest of the Black Landlord crew held their first BBQ at 941 Theater (R.I.P.) last year, it was nonstop fun that featured impeccable food & drinks, plenty of DJs turning it into a serious dance party, and impressive live sets from The Hustle, Prowler and the BBQ’s hosts. But this year’s event at the Uke Club is already shaping up to be one for the record books. Before we get to mentioning all the great bands and DJs on the lineup, we may as well tantalize you with the fact that $25 gets you all the food & beer that you can eat and drink from the likes of Monk’s Café, Bar Ferdinand, Standard Tap and Philadelphia Brewing Co. You’ll also get to watch Black Landlord battle the Philly Roller Girls in volleyball as well as bringing it home on the stage. You’ll feel good about yourself too since a portion of the proceeds will go to The Salvation Army Foster Care Program. And as you start to dance to hot jams provided by Strawberry Mansion DJs and King Britt, you’ll be feeling even better. This years amped up musical lineup will leave you especially enchanted since it features the tripped out psych rock of Bardo Pond, the shoegazey indie rock tunes of Gildon Works, the soulful rock ‘n’ roll of Ben Dickey and Drew Mills from Blood Feathers, the glimmering piano-pop of BC Camplight, the ultra-cool indie pop of Brooklyn’s Naked Hearts, and many more. Rain date is Aug. 29. (Seems like we’ve been needing to use a lot of them lately.) Uke Club, 847 N. Franklin St., 12pm, $25, All Ages – Bill McThrill
