Come get weird tonight with Norwegian Arms and Laser Background at Dreamcastle in South Philly as they begin their Philly house show residency experiment. The guys sent us an email at the end of August announcing their plans to tour our city’s various house venues from mid-September to mid-October. The message also included a set of rules that the members of each band must adhere to during the tour (including living at each house for at least two days). You can check out the note with the complete list of rules and tour dates HERE.
Norwegian Arms posted this status on their Facebook the other night which perfectly sums up our feelings of why their house show tour is important for the city’s underground music scene and why you should go out and support the artists and houses involved. “I think the best thing about this House show residency is that not only does it allow me to play in four hardworking house venues in this city, but it also raises people’s awareness of spaces like there, where people allow folks to enter into their homes and share in a common cultural experience. We’ve also chosen them because they reflect different neighborhoods.” They’ll also be joined this evening by buddies The Circadian Rhythms and Jon Pfeffer (from Capillary Action). Dreamcastle, (Please contact one of the acts or the venue for more deets.), 8pm, $1 – $5 (sliding scale), All Ages, BYO-fun things – Dan Brightcliffe
