Spring 2013 Art Star Craft Bazaar at Penn’s Landing May 11 & 12
It’s Mother’s Day tomorrow. Have you gotten her a gift yet? Luckily, there’s the Spring 2013 Art Star Craft Bazaar happening all weekend at the Great Plaza at Penn’s Landing, where you’ll find over 100 local and national artists setting up shop with their handmade goods to save the day. But it’s also a good time to take in some fine performances from locals acts such as Arrah and the Ferns, The Bailey Hounds, TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb, and much more. (You can check out the full schedule of musicians above.) And don’t forget about the tasty food options and demonstrations for the kiddies. Hopefully the weather won’t dampen everyone’s fun. Great Plaza at Penn’s Landing, Columbus Boulevard between Market and Walnut Sts., 11am – 6pm, Free All Ages – H.M. Kauffman
Weekend Warrior, May 10 – 12
We’re getting closer to Memorial Day Weekend, which is traditionally considered the beginning of summer and trips to the beach. Well, tonight you can party like you’re taking a summer vacay at Underground Arts for Vacationer’s Nude Beach Party. The dream-pop crew will be headlining their continuing event as well as spinning some tunes once again this evening, and they’ve assembled a truly rad lineup with rising Deli Philly fave sex-pop outfit, Night Panther, and former Deli NYC cover guys and gal, Body Language, providing the type of jams that will get the crowd shedding off some clothes and showing some skin. It’s definitely a party weekend, and now, you know where to start it off right! Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St., 9pm, $8 adv/$10 door, 21+ – Q.D. Tran
Little Big League Opening for Marnie Stern at JB’s May 10
There’s a big summer brewing for Post Post alums Little Big League, who recently announced that they will be part of the Tiny Engines (Restorations, Tigers Jaw, Dikembe) lineage and that the indie label will be releasing their debut LP These Are Good People, which was produced by Craig Hendrix. And if the single My Very Own You is any indication, things should be heating up for the local four-piece. Tonight’s show at Johnny Brenda’s will be a great time to catch the band and preview some new tunes, especially since they’ll be opening for shred queen (and rock ‘n’ roll crush to many) Marnie Stern. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford St., 9pm, $12, 21+ – Bill McThrill

The Deli Philly’s Featured Artist(s) Poll Winner: Air is Human
“To err is human, to forgive is divine” is how the saying goes. That’s probably partially how instrumental psych rock outfit Air is Human came up with their name – we guess. But for the real answer, you’ll just have to ask them personally. However, we do have a few other truths from our recent Featured Artist(s) Poll Winner. You can read what the duo had to say HERE.
Lucy Stone Headlining at PhilaMOCA May 9

New Video: Trippin’ Balls (Feat. Mike “Slo-Mo” Brenner) – Brother JT
Check out the latest episode of Trippin’ Balls with Brother JT! We love this show. Kind of gives that hilarious but strange out there feeling that we used to get from watching Wonder Showzen. This video features an interview and jam session with Mike "Slo-Mo" Brenner, who recently came back from a month-long adventure to Kolkata (or Calcutta), India where he went to study Hindustani slide guitar. Guess that this would be a good wake n bake type of day.
