Promoters Brace For Phillies Post-Season Run “With the Phillies now in their fourth consecutive post-season run, many a sports-and-music fan has had to make some hard decisions these last four falls. Philly promoters who are in the business of putting on both local and touring talent on stages here have an even tougher time once the whole city gets swept up in the post-season drama. We talked with a few of Philly’s busier rock ‘n’ roll promoters to see how they’ve adapted, and whether or not they expect this year’s post-season run to affect business the way it has in previous years.” (Philebrity)

Where Is My Mind?: Soars “Lehigh Valley’s Soars are made up of Chris Giordani, Anthony Perrett, David Kresge and Brianna Edwards, and just released an impressive self-titled debut album via La Société Expéditionnaire…Having graduated from Lehigh University, I was very excited to pick the brains of the fledgling four-piece about there local music scene.” (The Deli)

BFF Alert: Melissa Auf Der Maur + Bloodhound Gang’s Jimmy Pop! “Melissa Auf der Maur — cool, artsy, cerebral, kind of mysterious. Jimmy Pop, singer of Philly’s Bloodhound Gang — kind of an imbecile (we still love ya, Jimbo!). Who would’ve thought these two are tight buds? We just chatted for a while with Auf der Maur (the former Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bassist) about her impending visit to our fair city…how much she digs Philly (a whole lot!), and how she managed to bond with Jimmy Pop.” (Make Major Moves)
