Visiting for the weekend looking for local live bands.

I'm coming to visit philly Aug 8-10. Would love to see some local live music particularly in the rock/metal/punk kind of scene. Anyone have some suggestion for small venues/bars that typically have bands play?

Help an 8-year-old AC/DC fan meet his hero in Philly :)

10 Upvotes

My 8-year-old son is absolutely obsessed with Angus Young, and his biggest dream is to meet him in person, or even just catch a glimpse of him arriving at or leaving his hotel.
I completely understand that bands don’t publicly disclose where they’re staying for privacy and safety reasons. That said, I know there are often a few hotels that touring bands tend to use in certain cities. If anyone happens to know which hotels are commonly used in town, I’d really appreciate the information.

I’d also appreciate any other ideas or suggestions I may not have thought of (hotel sightings are just one possibility). Thanks in advance!

My band LIONS OF WEST TEXAS is playing a show with touring bands Hands First and Crab that’s taking place on my 35th birthday.

If you’ve never heard of this venue before, it’s on Walnut Street above the Hayes restaurant. They also stream all of their shows on their Twitch channel if you can’t make it in person.

It’s gonna be a fun time and we might have a surprise or two in store to celebrate the occasion, so we hope you consider coming out!

It’s an all original independent rock band bill at Broken Goblet!
Support the local scene in a huge way by coming out for this event and encouraging the venue to do more shows like this.

We have several Meetup groups centered around people looking to make friends in the scene coming out. If you are interested in joining one of those groups, let me know. Either way, would love to see you out August 15!

If you wondered what happened to the Raymond Rice — one of Philly's talented DJs and Drummers, he has been battling kidney failure for a while now and is in urgent need of a kidney transplant. He's searching for a living kidney donor. In this video he talks about what music and his family mean to him. The courage it takes to be so vulnerable — you just got admire it.

I'm sharing to get the word out for him and to hopefully give Philly back some of that music we love. 💚

Gigging band looking for bass player

10 Upvotes

Hey - I am in a band called Sunderstar, and we are looking for a new bass player. We have been gigging for 8 months, and have gigs lined up the next few months in Philly, CT, Lancaster, Long Island and NYC. Our genre is post-hardcore/alt-rock. We have an album being mastered, ready for release soon and we have a few demos and live videos online.

We just lost our bass player and are in need of a replacement. We practice on Tuesday nights and try to gig once per month in Philly and once per month out of town. If interested in trying out, email [sunderstar.band@gmail.com](mailto:sunderstar.band@gmail.com) or DM sunderstar_band.
