It's Festival Time Again in Thrilladelphia

It's been a week or so now since the Philadelphia Film Festival ended, and maybe now you're looking for another festival to go to. Or maybe you're tired of hearing how great recent, distant music fests like SXSW were. Well, fear not, bored fellow city-goer! The third Thrilladelphia Music Festival is here! It starts tonight and goes through next Saturday with indie-rock shows featuring over 60 bands at most of the regular local venues, including The M-Room, The Khyber, the North Star Bar, and the First Unitarian Church, among others. You may not have heard of a lot of the bands playing, but they're local and they're playing for cheap, so you should support them. Still not sure whether you'll like it? Well, you can check out songs by some of the bands by downloading free MP3s at the bottom of this page. That link is to WXPN's website; the local radio station is supporting the festival with plenty of air-time and a live broadcast from the final event. Also on that XPN page is a handy PDF with a schedule for the whole festival. Well, almost the whole festival; some of the performers and locations are a secret, only to be announced at select events. For the location and performers of tonight's secret show, you'll need to e-mail rsvp AT figureheadproductions DOT com. Space is limited and it's first-come-first-served, so hop to it.

Check it out, Philadelphia. We've got our own music festival!
