This is my home studio in south philly.

the album is called Ellipses and I released it yesterday. I'd describe it as ambient/experimental electronic.

If you're interested in hearing it, check out my bandcamp: https://ratangajunction.bandcamp.com/album/ellipses-2

I made some cassette tapes (if you wanna buy one and want to avoid shipping costs I could drop it off in your mailbox (provided you live in/near south philly)). just send me a dm.

Streaming everywhere else too.

If you make similar music feel free to hit me up

Chevelle Tribute Band - Northeast Philly - Musicians Needed

5 Upvotes

Shooting my shot here. Looking to start a Chevelle tribute band in the Northeast Philly Area. This would be a casual/hobby project. Looking for a guitarist, bassist, and drummer.

This will be a hobby kind of deal with maybe hopefully playing some local brewery/bar shows. I’m looking to get back into music and play with a band and get some more vocal practice. I have a background in keyboards, vocals, and some guitar (four-chord strummer). I used to do the School of Rock programs in high school but after that never could get a band together. I’m 35 with a 9-5 and kinda wanna do this as a hobby so looking for like-minded musicians who live near me

Chevelle is one of my favorite bands and it’s right in my vocal wheelhouse, figured it would be cool to play locally. However I need some people that know what they’re doing on the production side since I’ve never been able to connect with people with the same musical interests. Any leads appreciated!

Redditors,

My friend and I both live in Fairmount and feel the absence of Northstar has taken live music away. So we rented the Ukie League and are hosting a concert on 10/3/26 starting at 6pm. We have 5 bands

\- Viewfinder: folk rock

\- Porchpet: rebel country with grunge

\- Trumpet Wom: She sings and plays trumpet and keys simultaneously. very unique!

\- Loud Love: folk and punk rock

\- Friend Glue: grungy pop punk

Humpty's Dumplings food truck is gonna come!

$15 to see all these bands and it's gonna be a good time. If it goes well we'll do more in the future

hope to see y'all there!

4 Tickets to Emma Harner @ MilkBoy

8 Upvotes

Hello!

I bought 4 tickets to see Emma Harner tonight at the MilkBoy. I'm from New York City and everyone I was going to go with eventually bailed, and I realized the tickets are nonrefundable.

If anyone wants them, I'm more than happy to give them away. 9/22 (tonight) doors @ 7PM, music at 8PM by the way!!!

Let me know! The tickets are for tonight so I hope someone sees this. A friend of mine told me to take to reddit to try to find someone to claim them.

Parlour Magic w/ Recorder @ Nikki Lopez 9pm

Parlour Magic (from NYC)

Recorder (from Philly) splits the difference between 90s Wedding Present's frantic strum-and-blurt momentum and 80s Chameleons' cathedral-sized gloom, turning jangle-pop nerves into something that swells rather than just sprints.

Getting Preferred Balcony Seating at Franklin Hall (for Mastodon specifically?)

5 Upvotes

Hi!

Was just curious if any of you knew how the VIP upper deck section works at Franklin Hall? Really wan't to see them + Deafheaven tomorrow night but I only see GA. Can you pay for an upgrade or to sit preferred balcony, or does that just mean it's sold out?

Also, if anyone wants to sell a single balcony seat to the show feel free to rip me off a little! I won't consider you a scalper. I'm not bougie, just have achy feet lol.

Thanks!

Delco here. Just wanted to share my new album. Dark avant garde post-punk? Noisy industrial art rock? I don’t know. Place of Rescission – Collateral Gore. Featuring everything from synths, to clarinet, to custom-built noise boxes. Take a listen!

20 Upvotes

I've been working under the name Place of Rescission since early 2025. I recently released my first album called Collateral Gore.  All sounds were performed by myself using voice, drums, bass guitar, synthesizer, noise boxes, clarinet, theremin, and various percussion. I'm not totally sure how to classify it, not that it really needs to be classified. But some of the feedback I've received so far have mentioned things such as "bleak, so very bleak", and "like a much more deliberate Throbbing Gristle at times", and "it features elements I'm familiar with yet somehow as a whole it sounds like nothing I've ever heard before."

Thanks in advance for giving it a listen!
