Friday 9/13 Hard Skin, The Droogettes
Boot and Saddle

 

The second show at the newly reopened Boot and Saddle will see the former country and western bar play host to the ever cheeky, ever vulgar oi-punk band Hard Skin. Surely to the chagrin of many a Hank Williams fan. Joining them will be The Droogettes.

 

Saturday 9/14 Chelsea Wolfe, True Widow
Union Transfer
Doors at 7:00, Show at 7:30
$15
All ages

 

Gloomy to the point of devastation yet hauntingly beautiful, the enigmatic Chelsea Wolfe is paying Union Transfer a visit in support of her brand new LP “Pain is Beauty”. Expect to hear several songs off the new joint, including at least one of her electronic numbers to dilute the morose. Also performing will be her tour mates in True Widow. 

Saturday 9/14 Youth Code, Night Sins
Kung Fu Necktie
Doors at 8:00
$10,
21+

Bringing to life dance music for anyone that ever REALLY liked AFI, Youth Code is fresh off the release of their equally infectious yet equally terrifying debut self titled LP. Taking the aggression and industrial club sensibilities of Nine Inch Nails and turning up the former by a thousand, Youth Code is coming to forcibly make you groove. Joining them will be Philadelphia’s favorite goth rockers Night Sins.

Events Calendar 9/3-9/9

Tuesday, Sept. 3 – Hop Along, The Sidekicks, Luther, Ma Jolie
First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut St.
All ages
Doors at 6 p.m., show at 7 p.m.
$10 in advance, $12 at the door
A year removed from releasing their full length “Get Disowned,” Hop Along brings their quirky, spastic take on emo-tinged indie to the infamous sweat lodge simply known as “The Church.” Joining them will be The Sidekicks, as well as Luther and Ma Jolie. This will surely be a gig to crush a tall boy of PBR to.

Friday, Sept. 6 – The Bad Gig: Bad Side (record release), Bad Energy, Bad Doctors
Wolf Cycles, 4311 Lancaster Ave.
Doors at 7 p.m.
$5
The upstairs of the Lancaster Avenue bike shop Wolf Cycles is quickly becoming a hotbed for Philly’s finest and raunchiest punk gigs. This undertaking will be no exception. Featuring all things bad, The Bad Gig will serve as the record release show for hardcore punk stalwarts and international men of mystery Bad Side’s second 7” “Everybody Wants Something From Me.”

Friday, Sept. 6 – Man Man
The Porch at 30th Street Station, 2955 Market Street
Doors at noon, show at 1 p.m.
Free with RSVP
Philadelphia’s own experimental/eclectic/indie/unquantifiable quintet Man Man will be performing at The Porch at Amtrak’s 30th Street Station for XPN’s latest installment of Free At Noon. The group has another dose of strange, undefinable goodness looming in the form of their brand new LP “On Oni Pond.” As the name of the event implies, the whole shindig is free. Be sure to head to xpn.org to RVSP.

Saturday, Sept. 7 – No Age, Perfume River
PhilaMOCA, 531 North 12th St.
All ages
Doors at 7:30 p.m., show at 8 p.m.
$10 in advance, $12 at the door
In promotion of their latest undertaking, an 11 track LP entitled “An Object,” art punk duo No Age are embarking on a world tour that’ll see them venture as far as Helsinki, Finland. But before their European tour, the Sub Pop Records group is trekking stateside, including a stop at PhilaMOCA to spread their weird, noisy gospel.
