Phillyist is pleased to announced that we were chosen to be the Philly representative on Filter's TourZine and Official Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Tour Guide. We're taking over from Music Snobbery, who did the review of the New York show, and we'll be passing things off to Metro Distortion, who will cover tonight's show in Washington, DC. So here's our official review of BRMC's show last night. Woo hoo!

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (MySpace) is not an association of big tattooed dudes who like to ride around on two-wheeled vehicles. It's a kick-ass indie rock band that you need to get to know if you haven't already. A good place to start is their latest album, released about a month ago, called Baby 81. There are a handful of tracks on this one that are just good indie pop/guitar rock songs. The rest are divided between very good and totally excellent. All of them are full of driving guitars, smooth vocals, and head-banging hooks. A couple of our favorite tracks are the sexy "Berlin" and the epic rock masterpiece (clocking in at just over nine minutes) "American X." But another of our favorites is "Weapon of Choice," which we'd like you to check out for yourself; listen in Windows Media, QuickTime, or Real Media formats.

Bands I Caught: The Cobbs, The Asteroid #4

It isn't for a little while now, when the weather will hopefully be a little bit warmer (although Phillyist makes no promises to that end), but we figured that the POPPED! festival, April 9-15, needs to be on your radar already.
