Free Download: Forget About It – Catnaps

Catnaps might be calling it quits this Wednesday at PhilaMOCA, but they just posted a new 5-song EP today entitled Forget About It for you to remember them by (or not). You can take a listen to and download it below. Enjoy or feel sad – whatever works best for you!
RIP Pet Milk
Sorry if this is old news to some, it was announced rather silently a few weeks ago. Pet Milk has disbanded. We came across the news earlier this morning when we noticed that the band had dropped off this Wednesday’s bill at PhilaMOCA, which will also be Catnaps‘ final show. There was a message on Pet Milk’s Facebook: "RIP Pet Milk 2010 – 2013." This maybe surprising to some considering that their post on April 8 read: "So much love to Baltimore Popfest for what could possibly have been thee greatest PETMILK show ever." However, it was followed by an ad for a new "drummer…. or maybe bassist… but more probably a drummer." We reported earlier this year that the group’s original lead female vocalist Adriane Dalton had moved to Brooklyn, and was replaced by Sarah Schimeneck so the writing may have been on the wall then. We’re confident though that you’ll find the the band’s talented members on stage with other projects soon enough, but for now, RIP Pet Milk.
New Track: “Twenties” – Worshyper

New Music Video: “Mavericks” – Work Drugs
Here’s a new music video from Work Drugs for the title track of their album Mavericks, which is coming out tomorrow. They also included a free download of the song HERE to celebrate its arrival. So we want to know: Mary Ann, Ginger or Mrs. Howell – how kinky are you?
Heavy Medical Helping to Release Some Father’s Day Aggression at PhilaMOCA June 16
If you happen to hear some loud, strange noises coming from PhilaMOCA tonight, don’t be afraid. It’s just sludgy, noise rockers Heavy Medical tearing shit up. The former duo now trio lay down bludgeoning beats while unapologetically attempting to tear your face off (in a good way if that is possible). They’ll be hosting a pair Japanese acts, Tacobonds and Groundcover, who will certainly be adding to the chaos that will be found in the former mausoleum this evening. Also visiting town will be Baltimore’s Echo Hey Hello. If you need to let out some aggression after spending the day with your family or just hate Father’s Day because it reminds you of the asshole who was never there for you, this show is a good place to let out some steam. PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 8pm, $7 – $10, All Ages – Alexis V.

Truck North Bringing the Heat at The Fire June15
Rapper-on-the-rise Truck North has his name across the top of tonight’s show flyer at The Fire, which is going to be a heated display of Philly’s rap talent. Truck North’s list of accomplishments and credits is quite long; to name a few, he’s in the title song to video game ESPN NBA 2K5, is in a number of Roots album credits, performed at numerous Hurricane Katrina benefit concerts, and collaborated with Black Thought and Asher Roth on a track from his recent Our American Cousin EP. Now that his credentials are out on the table, more importantly is his sound – you can expect raw and passionate vocals over easy-listening, groovy beats, which as a whole, definitely delivers acknowledgment to the original sound of hip-hop. Opening for Truck North is Curly Castro, another Philly native, who does an exceptional job at presenting dynamic sounds from track-to-track. One more notable characteristic of Curly Castro is his spoken verses and sung choruses over EDM-like beats. The Fire’s roster also includes Philly’s Quon Logic (who I happen to think has a hella-smooth voice), with DJ Bear One opening the night. The Fire, 412 W. Girard Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Brandi Lukas

Liz & the Lost Boys Record Release Show at MilkBoy Philly June 14
Listening to Liz & the Lost Boys is like sitting down to lunch with a good friend. It’s the complete openness and honesty that shines in Liz Ciavolino’s lyrics, carried on gentle harp strings. The music does not overpower, despite the layered and varying sounds coming from not only Ciavolino – who’s accomplished on both the harp and piano – but from her Lost Boys, who provide the melodic breeze her vocals float on. The night is a celebration of the band’s new album, their eponymous debut. Prior to their performance, local acts Anjuli Josephine, a soulful bluesy-pop crooner, and Son Step, multi-styled experimental rock, will take the stage.
