I told you the CP Player was about get hott. You may have read somewhere about this band Beretta 76 wanting to open for the New York Dolls when they hit Philly. That you can vote for the band to receive said honor. And maybe if yr really paying attention you remember them from ye olde Local Support 014, when our man with the master plan Jon Solomon sneak peaked their "Hostile City" (right after The Yah Mos Def's super-dope "Yah Mos Def is a Gang" — listen to that podcast on the CP Streaming Player.)
Check out the newest addition to the CP Streaming Player: Beretta 76's Black Beauty. Stream it by clicking the link at left, or the way-hot album cover above. May we recommend the way catchy third track "Hit Parade"? Yes, we may.
Never heard of them–they are great.
Where can i buy the CD in or around Phila
[...] FRIDAY: >>> Good god, the motherfucking Photon Band! YES! It has been a dog’s age — literally — since we’ve seen Art Difuria & Co. in action, and if you don’t know, now you do: The Photon Band are like our very own Guided By Voices. Sublime and strange, psych and pop and seriously olllllllld-er than dirt. But still the coolest people in any room. There’s gotta be some mp3s around here somewhere, oh wait, no there aren’t, and you know why? BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL THAT SHIT ON VINYL, and so should you. At Johnny Brenda’s with Like A Fox. >>> At the Khyber, it’s Mixel Pixel for your digital robot rock needs. Dancefloor calculus yo. >>> Golden Ball at the Pi Lam with The Subjects. Warning: If you yell “Toga!” at GB, they will totally take you seriously. They’re in the practice room cutting up sheets right now. SATURDAY: >>> Bands that talk so much shit on us we should be paying them a publicist’s fee: Jukebox Zeros and Beretta 76 — B76 has a new one out over here — wake up the tattoo brigade at the Khyber. Check’s in the mail, bitches! >>> There is an acoustic music festival at the Rotunda with so many people playing on it that it can’t help but be a mellow time, just on account of the sheer amount of wood in the room. Read more about it in listings. >>> And tonight we offer three hipster dance parties: One for the 13-year-old girl inside of you, another for the strangely social record nerd, and another one for people who have lots of friends in Pittsburgh. They are Madonna Michael Prince at The M Room, Bleached Black at Medusa and Philadelphiyinz at The Khyber, respectively. All worthy. And holy shit, look at the Khyber rackin’ it up in the picks this weekend! There’s life in the old dog yet! >>> But this has got to be the PARTY OF THE WEEK: The Dating Game/A Mummer’s Happening. Get this: Space 1026 is starting their own Mummers comedy brigade, not even fucking around. This party is a benefit. From the press release: We will have the Love Connection game: Roy Miranda, Brandon Joyce and Mike Robinson (Holland Boys/ King God) will be vying for the attentions of a mystery lady pilates instructor who loves music who was culled from the internet. Mindy, Amanda Blank and Emily Fabric Horse will be the suitors of a phd candidate in the temple philosophy department who runs an experimental fiction journal (zine). he was also found on the internet. In addition to this, we will have a kissing booth, mummers photo opportunity, and the opportunity to take a survey and be scientifically matched up with the love of your life. then at the end we will slow dance.
