Musical Rumblings: The Lonesome, Crowded East
>>> Congrats to East Hundred (pictured), who took top honors at last night’s Philly Sound Clash. The band — currently sporting a clutch of John McIntire-mixed tracks on their latest, Copper Street Performer — walked away with two grand, studio time, and a slew of other goodies. Mazel tov, East Hundred, you can add to the prize package two of your mp3s getting put on blast on Philebrity. Thank GOD you are not a rap-rock band. [MySpace]
>>> We meant to pass this one along earlier this week, but you’ll know why we regarded it as such a not-very-hot potato when we tell you that a guy who owns a lot of other bars is THINKING about opening ANOTHER bar, only this one would have music and probably will not likely be at the old Global Thrift at Front & Girard, because Fishtowners now have the Northern Liberties disease of thinking they live in Society Hill. We’ll believe it when the nearly cosmic cloud of deep, abiding loserdom that hangs over this neighborhood lifts and y’all stop playing the lottery like it’s a friggin’ prayer to God. [Impresario]
>>> Siltbreeze Records and that new “shitgaze” scene: Get to know it. [Pitchfork]
