Intern Bree’s Weekend Picks: The Dance Your Ass Off Edition.
Every Thursday, our JUMP mag intern, Bree Wood, offers her suggestions for fun Philly music stuff for the upcoming weekend (and more). This weekend, you’ll find Bree dancing her ass off somewhere in Philly …
FRIDAY
I love Sleigh Bells and Phantogram. The groups are both duos from New York, both fronted by strong female vocalists, and both women have great chemistry with their male counterparts. Sleigh Bells (above) has a hard electronic sound, while Phantogram (below) has a rock/pop electronic sound. I think of the two in my head as if Sleigh Bells is yelling at you to do something, and Phantogram is telling you something. If you like to party and dance, come hang with me Friday! It will be disgustingly hot out, so stay hydrated!
SATURDAY
Once again a free show. I feel like a broken record when I post about Morgan’s Pier and R5 but so far they have been putting up great bands. I always have a good time. What more could you ask for – food, drinks, and music on the river. If you don’t die from the heat, you can’t go wrong. Fang Island is a band from Providence, RI now based out of Brooklyn, NY. They are an indie rock band and the best way to describe them is fun and intricate.
Look out for their new album Major. It comes out July 24th.
Chill Moody, Mic Stew, DJ Damage, Selina Carrera and more at the Let it Bump Music Festival
So many Philly (and JUMP faves) will perform at this event in West Philly – Chill Moody, Mic Stew, Gogo Morrow, Kuf Knotz, Selina Carrera and more. It’s a $10 show outside and the weather is supposed to be perfect. Go support Philly.
Hot Chip at the Electric Factory
These Brits have been packing dance floors for more than a decade. This should be pretty insane.
MONDAY
Iceage, Dirty Beaches and Law at Johnny Brenda’s
I’m really excited for this lineup. All the bands playing have an interesting story and their music mirrors their lifestyle. Iceage is a group of teens from Copenhagen who have created thier own sound, bringing together post-punk, punk, Goth and a little bit of hardcore for good measure. Being so young – they just graduated from high school – they are a must see. Dirty Beaches is a single man band with a story to tell. He’s a traveler and his music brings his journeys together, enjoy the musical experience of a man on the move.
