Wed. June 13th Shows - As Tall As Lions w/ School of Athens @ Club Cafe and EL-P w/ Mr. Dibbs, Hangar 18 and Mighty Quin @ Diesel

As Tall As Lions w/ School Of Athens
Wed. June 13th @ Club Cafe 7pm


Long Island's As Tall As Lions have had a history of touring with emo bands but their sound is a more lush ambient pop than emo. They have a rep for some very strong live shows and 2006's self-titled release was well received by both critics and fans.

AS TALL AS LIONS - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE



AS TALL AS LIONS - MAYBE, I'M TIRED



EL-P w/ DJ Mr. Dibbs, Hangar 18 and The Mighty Quin
Wed. June 13th @ Diesel 7pm


El-P has been a force in indie hip hop for the past decade with his Definitie Jux record label. The Def Jukies like Aesop Rock, Mr. Lif, Cage and Rob Sonic have been one of the bright spots of modern day hip hop. Another one of them Hangar 18, joins EL-P on this tour along with Mighty Quin and Cincinnati's DJ Mr. Dibbs, founder of turntablist collective 1200 Hobos.

Blowfly w/ Blueprint from Soul Position, BZE, J. Malls and Omar-Abdul and The New Alcindors - Tuesday June 12th @ 31st Street Pub

BlowflyBlowfly performs tonight at the 31st Street Pub with Blueprint from Soul Position and locals BZE, J. Malls & Omar-Abdul and The New Alcindors. Blowfly is the alter ego of songwriter Clarence Reid who collaborated with R&B acts from the 60's and 70's ranging from Sam & Dave to KC & The Sunshine band. Reid created the alter ego, hid underneath a low rent superhero costume, to protect his career as a songwriter. Read Manny Theiner's article, "Raunchy rapper Blowfly lands at 31st Street Pub" from this past week's Pittsburgh City Paper. The article examines Blowfly's influence on rap music (1965's 'Rap Dirty' is considered by some to be the very first rap song) and even indie DIY culture. The video here is not of the greatest quality but you get an idea of what the show is about. This content is obviously NSFW due to the lyrical content of Blowfly

Circuits of Steel Showcase at Three Rivers Arts Festival - STILL GOING ON!!!!

First, an apology for the lack of updates this week. Other commitments kind of prevented me from contributing to the site.

A quick note for those of you who are stuck indoors due to this rain here in Pittsburgh. Tonight's Circuit of Steel showcase at the Three Rivers Arts Festival is still going on but apparently has been moved from Market Square to the SPACE Gallery on Penn Avenue due to weather conditions. It isn't confirmed as of yet (a little after 7pm) whether the 2nd part of the showcase will be outdoors but it's looking doubtful at the moment. Here is the lineup:

8:30 pm - Hotness
9:00 pm - Discuss
9:30 pm - Rein[Forced]
10:00 pm - Grand Buffet

The rain has lightened up a bit so hopefully weather will continue to cooperate but if it doesn't, there is still a show, just go to SPACE, 812 Liberty Avenue.
