>>> Yes, it is a rainy and miserable Wednesday night here in Philadelphia, but if you go out tonight, you could actually learn a helluva lot about Philly rock scene past and present. Let’s start with the past: The Burning Brides (pictured here when they had the best drummer in town and before everybody totally hated them) are playing at the Khyber. For the uninitiated, the Brides are an object lesson in forgetting where you came from and how this dirty old town can drop you like a college girlfriend during your first week as a cast member on The Real World. Are the Brides actually any good these days? We cannot say. We have not listened to them in about five years.
>>> But behold, THE FUTURE: Greyhounds at Tritone with the thrashy Luxury Flats. If you like Pete Doherty and Bruce Springsteen and wish that one could show the other a new trick, fer chrissakes, dig the ‘Hounds.
>>> Meanwhile, the genre-bending Northern Liberties hold it down with Micah Blue Smaldone and Wilderness at JB’s.
>>> And Philly DJ team/remixers du jour Crimp Yr Hair round out a bill with swooshy electro-poppers Tiny Whales at Silk City.
