It's hot. Balls hot. Only way to cool off is with a nice pint. Tonight take a nice cool draft of electroclash with Ladytron's show at the TLA at the Fillmore. Understated vocals and pulsating electronic beats are a cool salve for your overworked, overheated brain. Plus you haven't made that drunken stumble from Tattooed Mom's to the TLA in a while. Check out the first single from Ladytron's latest album, Velocifero, here, and then......

We are going to work all day, keeping quietly to ourselves. We can't wait for the Flyers game tonight. You might have read all the reasons why, but most of all, we're just excited that they have rock and rolled this far, and we're willing to stick with them until the end. PHILADELPHIA'S LARGEST SINGLES SPRING FLING AFTER WORK PARTY Okay, so we went a little overboard on the image today. But when we......

Tonight is a surprisingly robust Tuesday night. We're fairly speechless about the breadth and depth of our trio of events for the evening. Or we are just running out of witticisms to pepper throughout our intros. MINUS THE BEAR AT THE FILLMORE Why? Because they're awesome and you're not. Well, maybe you are (after all, you certainly have excellent taste in blogs), but we bet you haven't played the Fillmore (yeah, we know it's......

Let's just say, heading into Sunday night's Mae concert at the Fillmore at the TLA, we didn't have the highest expectations. Former Phillyist and current SFist writer Spencer commented that he was less than impressed with Mae the couple times he'd seen him. Plus, we went to the show straight from doing our Barking Beauty Liveblog, and really, how could anything be better than that, right? On the plus side, one of our favorite......

Everyone, meet Hannah Montana Miley Cyrus's brother, Trace Cyrus. He's taken his Achy Breaky genetics and taken a sharp left toward electronica with his band Metro Station (MySpace), and he's taken Mason Musso, brother of Hannah Montana co-star Michel Musso, along for the ride. The band's electronic instrumentation and poppy vocals will both be on display tonight as Metro Station supports Cobra Starship (MySpace), the motherfuckin' band trying to board the motherfuckin' plane, at the......

Today is another irresponsibly light day when it comes to Can't Miss This! fare. It's not that we don't love you, it's just that we are very popular and everyone wants to spend time with us and, some days, it gets out of control. Like today. So, here's the short-and-sweet skinny on what you should do tonight instead of staying home to defragment your hard drive. Nerd. THE LEGACY OF 1808: THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION......

Looking for something to do tonight? February boring you? Feel a primal need to fight the snow and the ice bearing down on our fair city? Check out The Bravery (with guests The Switches and Your Vegas) at the Fillmore at the TLA.

The Mars Volta have always been on some "other shit." From the first strains of 2003's De-loused in the Comatorium, you knew that this was not the prog rock you heard your parents listening to while smelling that funny smoke. This was something new, sprung from the minds of two men who'd outgrown their previous project, At The Drive-In. Singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala howls like a siren over guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez's merciless shredding, and to great......

There is a new Queen of Soul. Sorry Mary, Alicia, and Jill, but there is a woman from Brooklyn who's reminding us all of how it's done. Her name is Sharon Jones, and she and her backing band, the Dap-Kings, will slay your ears and make you yearn for a time when people sang (and didn't sample), "Diamond in the back, sunroof top, diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean." Jones brings the soul while......
