On the eve of the largest snowstorm to hit Philadelphia since 1996, Del Water Gap took the stage to a packed house. DWG is no stranger to Philly, playing house shows since 2016, to a now sold-out show at The Fillmore. It was a joy getting to see Holden now playing his catalog to larger and larger audiences who embrace his unique songwriting. Opening the show was the equally great Hannah Jadagu.

Texas trio Little Image took the stage in Philly on November 23rd opening for The Academy Is… on their long-awaited return tour. I’ve been lucky enough to catch Little Image over the last several years on their tours through Philly, and I can safely say this was the best I’ve seen them yet. They never fail to deliver a tight electronic rock-infused set, encapsulating the raw lyrics, giving the taste of punk rock with the ease of dancable indie rock. Little Image finished the set with their latest single, “KILL THE GHOST”, which I’d rank as one of the coolest songs I’ve seen live this year. Can’t wait to see how these guys continue to grow their sound!

On Saturday Nov, 18th 2023 Philadelphia welcomed Slaughter Beach Dog home with open arms at the Fillmore in Fishtown. Start off with the opening song - “Bobcat Club” from their most recent release Crying, Laughing, Waving, Smiling. Before the third song of the night - lead Jake Ewald heard the crowd scream out something about the chandeliers at the Fillmore. Which sparked up a conversation, the team at the venue decided to light them up. It was a beautiful sight. (If you’ve never seen it try screaming it during a silent section of a gig too.) The rest of the show was stunning, the lights, crowd interaction, and the energy of everyone in the room was remarkable. One of the four (yes four) encore songs they played, they dedicated the song ‘Fish Fry’ to @SlaughterBeepDog who was in attendance—an absolutely amazing night. I highly suggest catching them at another hometown gig.

The night started off with opener Raffaella (check her out if you haven’t yet, you won't be disappointed). She had an amazing opening set that had the crowd locked in.
Misterwives started the night off with Out of Your Mind, which also happens to be the Opening song to their senior album (released July 14, 2023). Mandy (lead vocalist) was extremely active on stage and with the crowd. I believe at one point she was semi-in the crowd via the barricade. The band let us know that they had practiced synchronicity for the song ‘ End of My Rope’. The song mixed with the 6ft screens behind them showing lyrics/videos was extremely awesome to see live.
Mandy at one point got on a 6ft riser (she was on it earlier in the night as well) to sing Ultraviolet, the last song on their senior album. She had put a vest on with arrows alluding to the album’s cover. The night closed out with Bishopp Briggs, The ‘Baggage’ singer appeared on the riser with ‘Art of Survival' as her first song. I’ve never seen such an energetic artist on stage before. It was hard to keep track of what part of the stage she was on; she’s insanely good at what she does. She had told us (the crowd) that Her son was in the back (he’s on tour with her) and everyone cheered. Of course, Briggs couldn’t end the night without her iconic song ‘River’ from her album ‘Church of Scars’. I highly suggest checking out the Don’t Look Down tour if you’re one of the next stops.
