St. Paul & The Broken Bones @ Johnny Brenda's - Philadelphia, PA 03/28/14

I have already professed my love for St. Paul and the Broken Bones in a previous post.  This was before the February release of their first disc, Half The City.  After missing them the last time around I promised myself that I would not miss them again.  I finally got the chance.  They were coming back to Philadelphia to play Johnny Brenda's.  One of my favorite Philly Venues.  The concert quickly sold out.  Rightly so.  Great band, great venue, and $10.00 ticket prices.  Really.  $10.00.  It was a close one but I managed to get a ticket.  I love it when a plan comes together.

Jonathan Richman @ Open Arts Stage Theater - Bordentown, NJ 03/22/14

This is how this is going to go down.  Many of you are going to tell me that you do not know who Jonathan Richman is.  Then I am going to call all of you liars.

 

READERS CHOICE- Top Favorite Bands From Philly Revisited

As a writer, I love feedback..and man...did I get feed back. Thank you for reading and responding to my blog about my Top 10 Bands from Philly!  The readers have spoken and they made many valid points.  Here is a list of bands that did not make my cut but deserve to be mentioned.

My Top 10 Favorite Bands From Philly

I may live in New Jersey, but it is by way of the Philadelphia suburbs. My family moved to Levittown in 1968.  That was a couple of years before I was born.  Before that they were born, grew up, and lived in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. You can tell this by how I say 'water'.  This is something that I wear like a badge. 

We may not be L.A. but we still Rock.  I love the Philly music scene.  I always have.  I managed to narrow down my favorite Philly artists to a top 10.  You may not agree with me but that is the great thing about lists like this. You don't have too.  So here they are, in not particular order.  C'mon, it was hard enough to narrow them down to 10, now you want me to rank them?  You're not the boss of me...Lol.

Lorde @ The Tower Theater - Philadelphia, PA 03/08/14

I want to just say this for the record.

I have the Best Friends EVER!!!

I am not sure if I have ever told them that so I wanted to make sure I threw that out there.  Thanks to one of those awesome friends I was comp'd a ticket to the Sold Out Lorde show at The Tower Theater in Philadelphia, PA.

Robyn Hitchcock @ Open Arts Theater - Bordentown, NJ 03/01/14

I know that I have mentioned this before, but I find that a good portion of the concerts that I attend these days is an attempt to see some of my teenage idols before those chances no longer exist.  This concert was no different.
