The Extraordinaires already shared a charming music video for their track "Blue Moon," off the band’s latest LP Dress for Nasty Weather. And while on tour in Charlottesville, VA, they stopped in at Blue Moon Diner for a lovely live serenade with Garage Video Sessions before feasting on a tasty-looking breakfast. Here is a good argument for why you should allow your children to play with their utensils. Enjoy!

Twenty-one year old local emcee King Shampz demonstrates that he has a foundation of raw talent on his debut mixtape All Hail The King. The album was produced by his partner in crime Azzan, and aims to create "a feel of nostalgia,self reflection, and what Hip Hop will become in the near future all wrapped in one." You can stream and download the record for free over at DatPiff.

The 2nd Street Festival descends upon Northern Liberties for its 6th year in a row, and it will feature its usual beer gardens, street vendors, food trucks, children’s activities, and more. And also returning will be its 3 stages of music, programmed by the Philadelphia Folk Society before they gear up for their annual Philadelphia Folk Festival. Maxx Stoyanoff-Williams and the rest of Black Landlord will return to the main stage with their supercharged blend of hip hop and rock, and DRGN King will surely impress with their high-energy performance. TJ Kong & the Atomic Bomb will croon audiences with their boozy blues-tinged tunes before they embark on a southern tour, while Weird Hot will seduce the crowd with their frothy mixture of dance rock and sensual ballads. The rest of this year’s lineup will be rounded out by the likes of Pine Barons, Needle Points, Mock Suns, Lovers League, and more. 2nd Street Festival, N. 2nd St Between Green and Germantown, 12pm, Free, All Ages – Bill McThrill

Experimental jazz composer Joshua Stamper released a new LP entitled the skin, the sea, the sound this past April. He will also be dropping a track each week from his remix album of his recent spring release. On a righter rain will fall – the skin, the sea, the sound RMX, you’ll find contributions from talented artists like Cassadra Jenkins (a.k.a. Eleanor Friedberger, Chris Ward (Pattern is Movement), Anthony LaMarca (St. Vincent, The War on Drugs), and many others. Stamper worked with Lushlife, a.k.a. Raj Haldar, for the first time when Lush recorded his "Toynbee Suite" for Shaking Through, and you can check out his daydream-y remix of "O Glowing Hunter, O Lover of Beasts" below.

How do you top an incredible music experience like playing drums for a critically acclaimed indie-rock band like Dr. Dog? You travel across the country on a motorcycle to record music with members of bands like Wilco, Spoon, and Apollo Sunshine. That’s exactly what Juston Stens did for the past few years when he wasn’t collaborating with the rotating cast of contributors in The Get Real Gang. The end result of that is the new documentary film I Lay Where I Fall, which documents his bold and exciting journey. And in the spirit of that adventure, he also recorded a new LP, Share the Road, that was nearly half a decade in the making. It showcases his collaborations with the likes of Jessica Lea Mayfield, David Vandervelde, and members of his former Dr. Dog family. The album release party is happening this evening at The Boot & Saddle, where Stens will be jamming with his Get Real crew. They’ll also be joined by pals Goodnight Lights, who most recently released their 3rd full-length, As Far As The Moon, and a music video for the track “Yardwork.” The Boot & Saddle, 1131 S.

It’s been way too long since we’ve heard a full-length release from the always creative art-popsters The Extraordinaires. They had faced plenty of obstacles over the past few years with the sudden folding of their record label Punk Rock Payroll and multiple band reconfigurations due to founding member Matt Gibson’s hiatus as Man Man‘s multi-istrumentalist and the exodus of drummer Evan Smoker. However, Gibson has returned, and seems more dedicated to succeed with his comrades than ever. And The Extraordinaires appear to have their songwriting mojo back, judging by their new album Dress for Nasty Weather (Color Theory Records), which you can listen to (and purchase) in its entirety below.

Today marks day one of the 4th annual four-day Phreak N’ Queer Arts & Music Festival. The nonprofit event aims to support and embrace many things that we at the Deli are in communion with, providing a forum and voice for a diverse spectrum of artists and recognizing the past while gazing toward the future – meanwhile celebrating the present with a series of excellent artistic exhibitions/shows that are as varied and open-minded as the people that produce, perform and witness them. This evening, PhilaMOCA will host a bill that includes the engaging personal-narrative folk-blues combo of Andrew Bethany Spiers, a.k.a. The Feverfew. The intriguing electro-synth-soul-pop incarnation of Jen Pague-fronted Vita and the Woolf, whom will release their debut EP Fang Song on September 16, will also grace the stage as well as the atmosphere-generating hip-hop creations of Moor Mother Goddess, and the skilled classical improvisations of Brave, among others. PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 7pm, $5, All Ages – Michael Colavita

Below is a new track from local indie-rock outfit Joy Riding called "Christmas Hair." It’s off the band’s five-song EP Cute. The group is made up of members from It’s a King Thing, Makeout Party, Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start, and Decathlete. They’ll be performing in Philly on Saturday, August 22 at Kung Fu Necktie.

Cayetana‘s Augusta Koch (guitar/vocals) and Allegra Anka (bass) performed an endearing, stripped-down version of "Dirty Laundry" for the most recent Space Jam Sessions.
