Unfortunately I don’t get to “show blog” as much as I would like to but I’m trying to change that. It’s nice to be able to get back to something I love to do. So, without further ado here’s a review of last night’s Bojibian, Hair Rocket, and The Fleeting Ends show at Milkboy Coffee (Ardmore, PA).
I believe I’ve seen Bojibian before in a much more all out rock and roll show but this night they brought more of an acoustic rock show. With only 3 members (the drummer was sick) bass, electric guitar, and the singer playing acoustic guitar as well as kick drum they delivered a good set. If my past recollection of Bojibian is correct I think I like the acoustic Bojibian more. Oh well, see Bojibian for yourself and you decide.
Hair Rocket – a band that I had only heard about but had not seen live until now. Yes, that band was the reason why I was at Milkboy that night. Anyway, Hair Rocket was definitely worth checking out and I wish I had done so sooner. Even with a missing member (the person in charge of the ceremonial hair collection for the Hair Rockets) the band sounded great and I like their indie rock vibe. I’m so glad I finally got to see Hair Rocket live. I think I might have found myself a new favorite band. Needless to say, there will be more Hair Rocket shows in my future.
This night happened to be the CD Release Show for The Fleeting Ends. I don’t really have much to say about The Fleeting Ends because I wasn’t able to see their entire set. Although, I can say that I heard a few good rock/pop tunes from that band.
All in all, good live music = good times and blogging fun.

I first heard about The Philly Folk Parade a couple months ago and was in disbelief that so many of my favorite Philly artists were going to share the same bill. So, when August 2nd finally came around I went to The Philly Folk Parade downstairs at World Cafe Live and what I witnessed was like a dream come true.
I completely missed the first set which belonged to North Lawrence Midnight Singers. Having not seen any of their set then or in the past I know very little about North Lawrence Midnight Singers. Hopefully I’ll catch up with them again at some point so I can see what their music is about.
However, I did happen to make it to Johnny Brenda’s as Sisters3 was setting up which made me glad because they were half of the reason why I was there that night (the other half would be to see The New Time for their CD Release Show…of course!). Sisters3 is one of those great bands that you could easily stand and watch play endlessly and enjoy every last minute of their set. Sisters3′s music takes the heart and soul of an older sound and puts their own style on it with awe-inspiring harmonies. Sisters3 had a great set and it seemed to be well received by the audience.
