Tonight is the kickoff party to the first annual Philly Video Music Festival, which will be running at PhilaMOCA from February 26 through March 1. This evening’s program will consist of all local submissions with a few select ones, whom were invited. I am honored to be part of the selection committee that also consists of PhilaMOCA/Philly Video Music Fest co-curator Eric Bresler, The Key/WXPN’s John Vettese, WXPN DJ Robert Drake, and City Paper’s Emily Guendelsberger. You’ll also find fun events the rest of the week like Name That Video!, a throwback game show for the music video obsessed, a burlesque tribute to Weird Al and They Might Be Giants by Miss Rose’s Sexploitation Follies, retro video dance party, and much more. (You can the full festival schedule HERE.) It’s going to be a rad time, and get there early tonight because there is a good chance that it will sell out!
