so i have half decided to move out to philly by the end of this year. i spent a month out there and saw a few shows and met some rad people, it felt like i could make a home there. like i could find some family there. alex g is great great great. his sound has a nice combintion of sadness and vaguely punkish discontent. and i feel similarly about elvis depressedly. yo and thanks for the label info. i hadn't really realized that frankie cosmos was on double double whammy. love her deeply. you guys might like porches who happens to be frankie cosmos' boyfriend. they are my favorite power couple. super thanks to you for all the rad input. glad to see someone else with passion about this stuff.
Philly has a great scene from what I've heard. I'm not nearly as familiar with it as I am with the scene in New York, Massachusetts, and parts of Ohio. re: Frankie Cosmos. Zentropy was released on Double Double Whammy, however, she has since been picked up by Bayonet Records which is a new label that was started by one of the guys from Beach Fossils. Porches are another great band. They have a cool documentary too, I'd recommend it if you haven't seen it. And you're welcome viceroy, I get really excited when other people are into this kind of music.
well i think that is what is so magnetic about this music scene on the east coast, you know, it has the benefit of big cities and easy transportation, but still feels small and inclusive and approachable. plenty of great philly bands play in new york, and vice. hmm beach fossils is rad! thanks! this has been a good way to spend my day off. i have so many tabs of music open right now, waiting to be heard. oh shoot, really? did they shoot the documentary themselves? i'll definitely look for it.
I'm from NYC but I gotta rep Philly. Crazy crowd, chill downtown area and just rough enough around the edges. Definitely a fun experience.
