Weekend Warrior, August 15 – 17

Since 2007, The Mighty Paradocs have utilized their Rockers event as a way to showcase POC punks, lady rockers, and political comrades not typically included in punk or rock scenes in a DIY fashion. And whether it was done at Tritone, Kung Fu Necktie, or another Philly venue, it has always created some badass lineups. This will hold true while they host the 4^th Annual Rockers BBQ Weekend at various venues. While we were stoked to see Trophy Wife deliver a killer performance at LAVA Space last night, and look forward to what Baptist Preachers and cranes are flying may deliver tonight; it’s Saturday’s showcase at The Boot & Saddle that should deliver in classic Rockers’ nostalgia when The Mighty Paradocs take the stage with friends The Kominas and Brooklyn’s Shady Hawkins. It will also be a good time to catch the sisterhood punk antics of Bad Canoes before they go on tour. Since releasing the turbo-charged Sisterhood Is Powerful a few months back, the band, which features Screaming Females’ Marissa Paternoster, has earned a good amount of buzz, filmed music videos in shopping malls, and has been trying to get Polar Seltzer sponsorship. This evening’s lineup will also include the Joe Jordan Experiment, Providence’s Downtown Boys, and Haram. The Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St, 6pm, $7, 21+ (Photo by Tara) – Bill McThrill
