Three Man Cannon Holding It Down at KFN March 12

Posted on:

While plenty of Philly acts are down in Austin this week getting their fill of shows, booze and tacos, Three Man Cannon will be holding it down in town this evening headlining Kung Fu Necktie. The Scranton transplants have been charming Philly’s DIY scene with their earnest, heart-wrenching vocals, pretty melodies and instrumental bursts invoking crowd sing-alongs. Three Man Cannon will be joined by a couple of new Philly bands – All Bad, who are made up of members from Amanda X and The Weaks, and The Spirit of The Beehive, which features members of Glocca Morra and Kite Party. They’ll be hosting Florida indie rockers Buffalo Buffalo. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $5, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman

Posted on:

Bucks County’s Jeremiah Tall has been performing with bands since his high school days.

You can check out the debut music video for his track "Train" below. It was shot by Night Panther bassist Jon Anderson, and is the second single from his upcoming EP, which was recorded with Bill Moriarty (Dr. Dog, Man Man, The Districts, etc.).

New Music Video: “Admit It” – Far-Out Fangtooth

Posted on:

So this new Far-Out Fangtooth music video is an absolute mindfuck. It’s pretty much the worst acid trip ever, but in the hands of the gothic psych-punks, you know that they are deriving great pleasure from matching "Admit It," off their latest LP Borrowed Time (Siltbreeze), with the cinematic madness. Once again, Far-Out Fangtooth will be one of the many fine acts that Philly will be contributing to SXSW this year.

Elegant, Refined Sounds From Cuddle Magic & Birdie Busch at The Boot & Saddle March 9

Posted on:
A trio of artists that perform with an ear on elegant, refined sound will be taking the stage tonight at The Boot & Saddle. Brooklyn/Philly’s hybrid six-piece Cuddle Magic craftily interweave an array of instruments while simultaneously layering vocal harmonies, creating a sound that harnesses its multidimensionality and sharpens the finer details to reveal the beauty in their music as a whole. Renowned local songstress, Birdie Busch, who combines skilled narrative lyricism with folk/Americana-based instrumentation, will follow them, Her set will raise one’s spirit while still maintaining a sense of the here and now. The show will also serve as a celebration for Rachel Ries’ latest offering and third LP Ghost of a Gardener that features members of Cuddle Magic among many others. The Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8pm, $12, 21+ – Michael Colavita

Catch a Matinee w/The Bad Doctors at The Slow Cub March 8

Posted on:
Get off to a quick start today with a matinee show at The Slow Club. With their new LP Burning City, due out in May via FDH Records (currently in its’ preorder phase), the trio of The Bad Doctors will likely feature some fresh material. The group moved closer to synth-laced dance-pop on their most recent EP Re Animate, altering the overall tone with injections of post-punk grit. The outcome is resoundingly positive while still acknowledging a darker, shadowy undercurrent. The Bad Doctors will be sharing the bill this afternoon with a pair of Boston-based punk outfits St. Ripper, who released a volatile five-song EP Agony of the Mind last month, and the relentless intensity of Animal Mother. The Slow Club, (Please contact one of the acts or the venue for more info.), 3pm, $5, All Ages, – Michael Colavita

Update: The Bad Doctors have dropped off the lineup, and have been replaced by Bad Side, which probably matches better sonically.
