Rush (Xfinity Mobile Arena, Philadelphia, PA, August 21 & 23, 2026) [DID NOT ATTEND]

[DID NOT ATTEND: August 21 & 23, 2026] Rush

Rush concerts part 2.  It’s crazy that I could have seen them six times.

So, having missed the MSG shows, and really knowing I wasn’t going to go to any of them, I kept my eyes on the Philly shows.  Those did not sell out entirely and I did keep watching those special seats to see of the prices ever went down.  And they just never did.

By this time we were back from vacation and were not quite on crunch time for bringing our daughter to school.  But initially I had a ticket to a show the night before this (and didn’t go because of the weather) and we had a ticket to a comedian the following night (but didn’t go because we’re lame).  Nut in all honesty, a Friday night going to Xfnity Mobile Arena sounds like a nightmare.  You’d have to leave at like 4.  Insanity.

So really that only left the 23rd.   But by the time that show came around I had accepted that I wasn’t going to go so I didn’t even look.

And despite the massive accolades from strangers and relatives (Montreal), I’m really not that bummed I missed out.  It sounds like it would have been fun, but I really don’t feel like I missed out.

And good for me.  Plus, there’s always that DVD.

~~~~~~

In high school and some of college, Rush was my favorite band.  No questions asked. My best college friend and I bonded over the band.  I didn’t go to enough shows during college–why didn’t I drive to Binghamton with him?

Since college I have listened to them a lot less, although i did really enjoy all of the albums they put out.  And I was super psyched to see their final tour before Neil died.

Geddy and Alex said they would never be Rush again and it sounded like they were both content to play music with other people and do their hobbies.  And then this was announced.  I wasn’t upset (it’s not like The Who or Slayer who have farewell tours all the time).  And I Was really excited that they had replaced Neil with Anika Nilles–if only because it upset so many people that there was a “girl drummer.”

When the shows were first announced I didn’t intend to go.  I didn’t feel it was necessary even if it had been over a decade since that last show.

And then I saw the prices.  Jaysus.  I have local friends who are much bigger Rush fans than me and they were jumping in paying $500/$600 a ticket, which is crazy–but was nowhere near the high end of prices.  As the dates grew closer and I heard great things about the shows, I kept my eyes on tickets.  Despite the immediate crush of sales, I don’t think all of the nights sold out.  And I’d also heard that dynamic pricing tends to get cheaper the day of the show.  Of course, that would still mean driving all the way into New York for a pain in the ass trip to MSG.

Ultimately, I decided not even investigate tickets.

And let’s see.  The 28th, I had a ticket to see Metric.
The 30th, I could have gone, but we were going on vacation two days later and that felt like a huge time commitment–this was the only day I seriously considered though.
And Aug 1 & 3 were were on vacation.

Back in the day, a Rush show was exactly the same night after night.  Possibly even note for note.  But this tour, they have been mixing up setlists like crazy and, while I’m not mad that I missed all the shows, I would have been really bummed if I went to one of the nights and the setlist was better on a different night.  I mean, let’s be honest, any Rush setlist is a good one, but …  The 30th featured all of 2112, which was pretty cool.

Plus, I’ll BET they release a show or two on DVD.

Kiwi Jr. [FREE AT NOON] (World Stage, Philadelphia PA, August 21, 2026) [DID NOT ATTEND]

[DID NOT ATTEND: August 21, 2026] Kiwi Jr. [FREE AT NOON]

I was supposed to see Kiwi Jr. open for Nap Eyes back in 2022, but the show was cancelled.  Back then I thought:

Kiwi Jr. is a fun Canadian band, recently described as “clever, easy-going jangle pop” that I’d really like to see live.

For some reason I thought I thought they were a more punk pop, but they’re really not.  And I think when I listened to them this time I was a little disappointed they weren’t more punky.  But really they’re cool–synthy and more than a little fun.

I grabbed a ticket for this Free at Noon because I knew I couldn’t make their show that night at Johnny Brenda’s.  But sometimes just thinking about a Free at Noon is exhausting.  I woke up tired and just didn’t have the wherewithal to go to work and then do the show.  Which is a bummer because the show sounded great (as you can hear below).  (more…)

Kiwi Jr. / 2nd Grade / Log Flume (Johnny Brenda’s, Philadelphia, PA, August 21, 2026) [DID NOT ATTEND]

[DID NOT ATTEND: August 21, 2026] Kiwi Jr. / 2nd Grade / Log Flume

Three years ago I could have seen almost this exact same show at the exact same place.  Kiwi Jr and 2nd Grade both played Johnny Brenda’s.  Kate David opened then and Log Flume opened tonight.  I went to see Sunset Rubtown instead (which I enjoyed).   Kiwi Jr. has been getting more attention this time around and even played a Free at Noon earlier today.  I wish I’d gone, but i didn’t feel up to the midday trek to Philly.

I knew I wouldn’t be going to this show mostly because I was sort of saving the night in case I scored a ticket to see Rush.  Which I didn’t.  And really, I was pretty happy to stay home.  Our daughter was leaving for college soon and I wanted to have a few extra nights with her.

But I do hope this lineup comes back again. Sorry Kiwi Jr.

2nd Grade are an indie band from Philly.  They are a gentle boppy indie pop band.  Super catchy and poppy with delightful harmonies and a childlike quality (as befits their name).  Most of the songs are around two minutes.

This is still true with their newish 2024 album–the longest song is 2:39.  But the songs are not hardcore blasts.  They are actually pretty complicates with multiple parts. They just do what they intend to do and then end. (more…)

Modest Mouse (Fillmore Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA, August 19, 2026)

Posted in Califone, Modest Mouse, Philadelphia, PA, The Met Philadelphia on August 20, 2026| Leave a Comment »

[ATTENDED: August 19, 2026] Modest Mouse 

I saw Modest Mouse open for The Flaming Lips last year.  I was right up front and really enjoyed the intensity of the show.  I asked my wife if she’d like to see them since she never had (this would be my 9th time).  The last 3 times I’d seen them were album tours (Lonesome Crowded West and Good News For People Who Love Bad News) and the opening set with the Lips.  So this would be the first time seeing them in a while when they were just doing new stuff.

And it was a LOT of new stuff.  This makes sense as this was a tour for their new album.  They played 8 songs from the album.

But they played a nice mix of newer and older songs.  In between nearly every song there was an older one.  Some were popular (Fly Trapped in a Jar) and some were deep cuts (Broke, from a 1996 EP).  What was fun about these older songs is that the band dropped from a large 7 piece band to a trio, like on those early albums.

I’m always fascinated by the Modest Mouse crowd because the people around me seemed to know the words to all of the older songs.   And I feel like Modest Mouse is pretty abrasive, so I am always surprised at the amount of fans that they have.  But they do have some really catchy songs (radio friendly ones) like Ocean Breathes Salty–this was only the second time I’ve seen them play it!  And it was the first song of the night that my wife recognized.

There was a dude next to me who seemed to know a lit of the new album as well.  Although I think we all recognized Picking Dragons Pockets since its getting a bunch of airplay.

The crowd went nuts when they played Bury Me With It (as they should) and I was super excited when they played 3rd Planet (the opening track from The Moon and Antarctica–a song I cannot believe I’ve never seen them play live before).

One of the songs my wife wanted to hear was Float On (of course).  I warned her that they may not play it (they did play it the last two times I saw them).  Indeed, the previous show started with 4 “hits.”  But Modest Mouse mixes up their setlists quite a bit, and there were few hits to be had tonight.

Emm / Bentley Robles / Kyle Payne (Nikki Lopez, Philadelphia, PA, August 20, 2026) [DID NOT ATTEND]

[DID NOT ATTEND: August 20, 2026] Emm / Bentley Robles / Kyle Payne

I recently came across Emm on my feed and was intrigued–a powerful voice–sometimes she simply screamed–and a wild stage show.  I made a note that I wanted to see her live.  And then a few days later she announced a show at Nikki Lopez.  I hadn’t heard of Nikki Lopez (although I have since been there). I was looking forward to seeing this future star in a really small venue.  Although I did wonder how she would do a huge stage show in this small venue.

Damien Demax Official recorded her set.  She came out with an elaborate costume and two backing dancers.  She sang two backing tracks, although she did play guitar from time to time

But on the day of the show, the rain and storms were insane.  All day it was torrential and scary and the storms were threatening Philly that evening.  So, even though I wanted to go, since I wasn’t entirely sure what I was getting into, I decided against going.

According to the video, the show looked fun and was pretty short.  There was some audience interaction.

I hadn’t heard of Bentley Robles but I listened to a few songs and found him to be an energetic pop singer.  Not really my thing but fun.  He seemed very flamboyant which I assumed would lead to a fun show.

Damien Demax Official recorded Bentley’s set which was rather understated (unlike his cool outfit).  He sang to his backing tracks.  He has a great voice and charisma.  There’s a funny intro that he says he broke up with the guy he wrote the next song about–it’s the first time he’s singing his hit about someone he doesn’t like anymore.  He looks like a fun performer.

Califone (Fillmore Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA, August 19, 2026) [MODEST MOUSE]

Posted in Califone, Modest Mouse, Philadelphia, PA, The Met Philadelphia on August 19, 2026| Leave a Comment »

[ATTENDED: August 19, 2026] Califone

Modest Mouse has very diverse bands opening for them.  Sometimes they’re so odd that I don’t care if I see them.  Other times, its a band I’ve heard of.  Like tonight. I’d heard of Califone–they’ve been around for years.  But I had no idea what they sounded like (or really anything about them).  

Califone is basically the project of Tim Rutili who was a founder of the band Red Red Meat (I also don’t know anything about them either).

For this show, he had a guitarist and bassist and two drummers (one was more percussion).  It’s possible they shared a member of two with Modest Mouse, but I can’t be sure.  Turns out Tim Rutili was part of Isaac Brock’s Ugly Casanova project.

The first two songs were slow and kind of country like.  Tim was seated and on an acoustic guitar.  The first song was a Red Red Meat cover and was quite short.  Before introducing the second song, someone on the crowd shouted Freebird and Tim was so disgusted he said, Did you just shout Freebird, god, anyone who shouts that just shows they are a dick.  They show that they are a cunt–this is Philadelphia I can say that).  Wow, I was so happy to hear it said out loud (Freebird is not funny anymore) and I’m so curious what happened to that guy from his friends.  I also thought it was a massively bold move for an opening band.  But Tim has been doing this since the 90s so he’s heard it all.

Yard Act (Underground Arts, Philadelphia, PA, August 15, 2026)

Posted in ⋈, Philadelphia, PA, The Armed, Underground Arts, Yard Act on August 16, 2026| Leave a Comment »

[ATTENDED: August 15, 2026] Yard Act

I saw Yard Act at Underground Arts back in 2023.  Guitarist Sam Shipstone was quite the wild man while Ryan Needham’s bass had a great sound and was often the only thing holding the melody down while Shipstone went nuts.  He also provided backing vocals.

And the best part of the show was that singer James Smith doesn’t casually recite his lyrics.  He is a non-stop machine of gestures and quips, singing and screaming lyrics.  Whispering and delaying satisfaction.  He has the entire audience in his hands and he is not afraid to make then do what he wants.  It was amazing to watch.

The tour is rounded out with drummer Jay Russell and touring keyboard/sax player Christopher Duffin.

My wife loved the show–after the craziness of The Armed, I feared that Yard Act would seem tame, but they really showed up.  But she loved the loudness and the intensity.  Indeed listening to some of the songs later she said they were much more fun live (Fiction in particular).  And she absolutely loved Payday (and who wouldn’t)–take the money, take the money, take the money and run).

They opened with New Beginnings, a song we’d heard a number of times on WXPN (and have heard a lot more since then).  It is pretty different from their other songs, but didn’t change the tone of the show at all.

It’s interesting how they play a very different setlist every night.  They didn’t play Payday the following night, although the did play We Make Hits, which I was sure they would play for us, but they didn’t.

When I saw them at Union Transfer last year, they had two backing singer/dancers with them and they made the show a lot of fun.  They added a lot to the visuals, for sure (including a lot of fun percussion and dancing).  I was a little bummed that they had scaled back for this show, but they know how to put on a show regardless of the number of people on stage.

When I first saw them, they ended with the seven minute “The Trench Coat Museum.”  Last time, during the long guitar solo in the middle, James sat on the drum riser with his head in his hands as if he were miserable.  It was funny to see, especially when it was his turn to sing again and he jumped up happily, grabbed a little sampling device and started having a ball throwing out all of the samples from the song and manipulating them on the fly.  There was no sitting for this version, but the sampling device was right there and he played with it making all kinds of fun sounds.  It was terrific.

Sometimes, live, it’s not clear what the lyrics are, even when he’s speaking them.  But sometimes there a lot going on so you may miss these lyrics from Dead Horse

I wasn’t the one lied to and I’m not scared of peopleWho don’t look like me, unlike you
…
And we’re supposed to let it slideBecause the press have normalizedThe idea that racism is something we should humor

An Illusion is a quieter song which slowed things down before the big stomping fun of Redeemer.  It’s a nasty sounding song with a great chorus: Redeemer, you had your fun, now you’re clutching to your rosary like a nun.  I didn’t realize the next song was called Cherophobe Rock, which I assume is a sly dig at Smashing Pumpkins’ Cherub Rock.  Although I don’t know the conntection the song is catchy and bouncy as anything.

 

 

 

“Dark Days” is primarily a bass line and drums with Shipstone making all kinds of noise on his guitar until it builds to a “chorus” changing “Dark Days” (and live the chorus is HUGE, as is the

So much so, that when he introduced “100% Endurance,” he observed how fast the show as going.  “100%” starts out quietly and then build to a big ending.

They raged into the final two songs–the stupidly catchy chorus of The Overload and the moody “Land of the Blind.”  As they paused before the final song, people shouted out the songs they wanted to hear.  James said that they might considered playing those songs if we would graciously allow them to play the songs they wanted to play first.

The final song was the seven minute “The Trench Coat Museum.”  There is a long guitar solo in the middle, during which James sat on the drum riser with his head in his hands as if he were miserable.  It was funny to see, especially when it was his turn to sing again and he jumped up happily, grabbed a little sampling device and started having a ball throwing out all of the samples from the song and manipulating them on the fly.  I only wish they were a little clearer.

When they came out for the encore, he asked what do you want to hear and immediately someone shouted “Peanuts.” He recited the spoken word part first in a “Tom Waits” voice and then like a vampire–there was very much laughter during this section.  Someone shouted out another song title, but they decided to play “Fixer Upper” and everyone was okay with that.

It was a really fun set.  Everyone was into it, the band gave it their all, and we were back on the road by 10:30.  And we’d both happily see them again.

Wax Jaw / Teenage Halloween / Have a Good Season (Wonder Bar, Asbury Park, NJ, August 16, 2026) [DID NOT ATTEND]

[DID NOT ATTEND: August 16, 2026] Wax Jaw / Teenage Halloween / Have a Good Season

I honestly can’t keep track of the number of times I haven’t seen Wax Jaw.  For a time they were the new band that I “discovered” and wanted to support really badly.  And I kept missing them.  I have finally seen them twice.

This show was the night before my son was leaving for his study abroad.  So, no matter how much I like Wonderbar and Wax Jaw, there was just no way.

At least Wax Jaw is playing Philly Music Fest in October and I SHOULD be able to make that one.

This show was announced fairly recently but I already had tickets to see Guster AND there was a second show I really wanted to see this night, Porridge Radio.  So this show was never going to happen for me.

I saw Teenage Halloween open for THICK a while back and thought they were great.   The Asbury Park band plays short blasts of catchy emo songs–lots of punk feelings (their bio says)

At the heart of vocalist and guitarist Luk Henderiks’ lyrics is an urgent longing for community. Despite their often strikingly personal vulnerability, these songs reach out to the wider world, striving to hold themselves and those around them accountable for their actions and to make space for those that need to be heard.

and occasionally fantastic guitar solos (Eli Frank is a total shredder, but doesn’t overuse that skill).  Luk seemed to sing more of the songs, but Tricia Marshall (bass) sang about four or five of the seventeen (!) they played.  I would absolutely see them again.

Have a Good Season is a trio from Eatontown, NJ.  They are a gentle alt rock band (with rocking moments) that incorporates intricate guitar parts and catchy vocal melodies.  They are the kind of band that I would love hearing one or two songs in a mix, but who I might not listen to an entire album.  But I dig their overall vibe.

This would have been a delightful show.

The Armed ⋈ (Underground Arts, Philadelphia, PA, August 15, 2026) [YARD ACT]

Posted in ⋈, Philadelphia, PA, The Armed, Underground Arts, Yard Act on August 15, 2026| Leave a Comment »

[ATTENDED: August 15, 2026] The Armed

I grabbed a ticket to this show for my wife and I as soon as it was announced.   I’ve seen them twice and the last time was so much fun, I was sure my wife would get a kick out of it.   I had never heard of The Armed (whose name is often simplified to ⋈) before the show and when I listened briefly, they sounded like a hardcore band, which was confusing as an opener for Yard Act, who are not hardcore.

We arrived early and got a decent spot.  The lights went down, The Armed came out and the stage exploded.  The entire place was just an explosion of noise and chaos and I was delighted to see the huge smile on my wife’s face.

I had no idea who The Armed were, nor that they had a massive fan base.  The story of the Armed is almost as interesting as their music, although, really, no, the music is far more interesting.  But still:

Although no official members of the group are known for absolute certain, the collective has been represented in the media by advertising creative and director Tony Wolski – formerly known as Adam Vallely.  The Armed allegedly has a central core of members, while simultaneously featuring a rotating line-up of collaborators. The people behind The Armed have gone to considerable lengths to misdirect, deceive, and otherwise toy with their audience when it comes to who is actually a member of the band. To achieve this, the band has largely avoided printing names of its members, had actors pretend to be members of the band and toured in secret, often performing at open mic nights under fake names.

There was a woman singing/screaming in a very high pitched voice not unlike Melt-Banana.  There were two other singers in the band, a guy who screamed as well and a guy who sang in a really nice voice.   I’m not sure how many people were on stage (seven maybe?)  They absolutely filled the stage and never stopped moving.  The guitarist in front of us was a whirlwind of action and near the end of teh set he climbed on a huge speaker cabinet and jumped off.

The male singer frequently put the mic into the crowd for the guys up front (die hard fans) to scream along.  The female singer jumped into the crowd and sang from the floor.

I loved the way Fortune’s Daughter was a wall of noise and then had a neat low-key catchy chorus sung by the third vocalist– and the end had all of the singers (and screamers going at it together).

Grace Obscure was a noisy chaotic song with a big “woah oh” and lots of screaming from the female singer.  And An Iteration started with furious hardcore drumming and then segued into a really catchy rumbling bassline and dual vocals. It was followed by FKA World from their previous album, which was (relatively) mellow–the use of explosive hardcore drumming with slow vocals is really interesting.

Local Millionaires starts softly and then turns into a screamfest.  All Futures continues the explosive sound The set ended with Big Shell a song that concludes with a series of one-two crashes from the whole band as feedback distortion and screams glide over everything.

It was exhausting and exhilarating and amazing.  I’m bummed I didn’t know about them before and I sure hope they mysteriously pop up again.

Here’s an amusing stories about this band from Wikipedia

The Armed released Only Love, with Ben Koller providing drums.  Koller has said the request was short notice, and that the recording would take place right in the middle of tracking drums for a new Converge album, which seemed “[like it would be] pretty stressful.” However, Koller heard that Rob Trujillo would be playing bass on the album, which was “the selling point” to him. In fact, Trujillo was never involved in any capacity with the album. Koller was also told by fellow Converge bandmate and Only Love‘s producer Kurt Ballou that the demos he was sent for this album were Converge songs, spurring him to learn them. Koller went on to say “…essentially, I was conned into playing on this album. I was so taken aback by these weird tactics that I just went with it.”

Circle Jerks | Repo Man screening (Keswick Theatre, Glenside, PA, August 14, 2026)

Posted in Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Glenside, PA, Keswick Theatre, Repo Man on August 14, 2026| Leave a Comment »

[ATTENDED: August 14, 2026] Ciʀcle JƎʀᴋs

Circle Jerks are a legendary punk band.  They’ve been around since 1979 with various lineup changes and hiatuses. They more or less finished in 2011, but then started playing again in 2019 and have come to Philly every two years since then.  I thought about seeing them at the TLA in April playing with Gorilla Biscuits.  But we were out of town.

So when this event came up, I was really intrigued.  The band are in the movie Repo Man–playing a lounge version of themselves.  And the current bassist Zander Schloss was a main character in the movie.  And here they were–playing some songs, doing a Q&A about the movie and then showing the movie.  I’ve seen the movie a few times but haven’t watched it in a long time.  So I asked my brother-in-law if he wanted to go and he said YES, but then couldn’t make it.  So I asked my son and he said sure.

I don’t think he knew any Circle Jerks music, but he had heard of them.  And he had never seen the movie.

I waited till the day before the show to buy a ticket because I wanted to be in an area where there weren’t many people. I wound up getting the back row and it was pretty perfect for Keswick–you’re up ice and high and can see over the heads below you.  And the venue is small enough that the back row is only 34 rows back.

The band’s gear was set up and then someone came out singing the Feelin’ 7Up song.  I had totally forgotten that that’s how Zander Schloss’ character in the movie is introduced.  So he is singing the song and a guy in a tuxedo tells him to stop singing, man. Why so tense, guy?

Then the band launched into the song Repo Man and the man in the tux sang the song.   The man was Repo Man director Alex Cox.  He sang the song and left the stage.

Then Keith Morris came out on stage and the band launched into a barrage of songs totaling about 5 minutes. And I liked that security allowed anyone who wanted to to rush the stage (it’s not like any of us old people were going to cause too much trouble).  Although one person did climb in stage and dance around (and then slowly climbed back down off the stage).
