Musical Rumblings: Impoverished Local Bands Continue Fruitless Quest For Media Exposure

jealousy curve>>> We could have almost just as easily done an entire Launch Party feature on new Philly music blogs yesterday: First up is Bruce Warren‘s Philadelphia Freedom, an mp3 blog devoted entirely to Philly artists. Hop on over for new tracks from Brown Recluse Sings, The Swimmers and more. [Blogadelphonic]
>>> Jukebox Hero, on the other hand, is more of a chronicle of the life of a roving show-goer in Philly. It’s a little dense, but interesting if only because its author is clearly in some kind of cheesy-vs-non-cheesy identity crisis. One day, he’s all about The Jealousy Curve (pictured) and the Grape Street Pub; the next, he’s trendspotting with Vampire Weekend and Tokyo Police Club. Do we detect a seismic shift indicating that white indie rock is The New Cheesy? If you’re asking us to vote, we’re saying yes. [JukeboxHero]
>>> And on that note, we are pleased to tell you that Van Halen is playing the Wach on October 1st. With David Lee Roth. [PhillyBurbs]
