There was a metal band downstairs and we worried about the sound bleeding through, but it all went well and didn't affect our show. The ceiling is low so the sound didn't bounce all over. The music was great and the crowd was diverse and I had a good time.

Such a gem right off the Spring Garden stop, I attended a fantastic mixed poetry reading and open mic night back in October. They have two levels and there's bathrooms at the back and a couple of different ways to set up seats. The stage itself is the perfect size for a DJ setup or smaller show. I look forward to the next time I get to go back and support this eclectic spot - an obvious haven for artists and the entire scene here in Philly. Stay up to date via their Instagram and website - in all likelihood this spot will have something eye catching programed on any given week. Get there and support this institution and Philly artists!

Love what it used to be, and especially love what it is now!…read more If you've attended a Mad Decent Block Party prior to the one that happened at the Piazza this year then you might be well aware of the mausoleum that used to be Diplo's temple of sound. And when he moved on the expand the Mad Decent name to other parts of the US he sold it to a group who aimed to create an incredible DIY forum for art and music. The end result delivers quite well on both fronts. It makes for a good all ages shows. And Since it used to be the studio of an exceptional DJ/Producer who knew more than a thing or two about sound (http://youtu.be/N5_vYkYPP08) it goes without saying that it might get loud. So earplugs may be recommended least you find yourself saying Its All Gone Pete Tong (http://youtu.be/g5K6pIez5P4). When PhilaMOCA isn't showcasing some incredible music its open for some pretty eclectic art viewings. And it works with plenty of collectives that are well versed in combining the 2 scenarios. You also might have some good reason to attend this Halloween season ;)

They have a lot of immensely talented bands that play here, both "names" as well as up-and-comers as well as student open-mic pick-up bands. They also have a bar, which rounds out the experience. I am dinging them one star to four stars because the drink service is somewhat chaotic and, at least, some drinks are very expensive ($24 for a double-shot of Jack Daniela??!!). But this really, overall, is a five-star establishment and I am thrilled that they exist.

If it's been awhile since you've gotten out to support the orchestra, it might be time to…read morereconsider! I typically only get out to one concert a season but it's always a treat when I do. Great programming in a beautiful hall that's easy to get to. What more could you want? I took in the Haydn/Handel/Bach concert this weekend and left inspired and grateful to have this gem of an institution in my city. A few things I love: 1) Community rush tickets. Being a subscriber doesn't make sense for my lifestyle (maybe someday!) and since I am someone who doesn't really care where I sit, utilizing the $25 community rush tickets is perfect for me. It keeps me engaged with the orchestra without having to commit to a large price tag or specific show dates. 2) Staff at the Kimmel Center is SO friendly and helpful. 3) I like taking my little $16 cup of wine into the hall with me and sip sipping as I listen to the music. 4) The orchestra sounds great from everywhere in this hall. I look forward to my next trip!

We bought tickets for the listening room @ LMNO for $15 per person. The speakeasy concept of the…read morelistening room was cool. There are 3 gender-neutral bathrooms on the 1st level of the restaurant. Only two are actual bathrooms. The middle one opens into a bathroom, but there is another door inside that leads to the listening room. This is as cool as the speakeasy gets. You are not allowed to take pictures inside the listening room, the bouncers will give you a sticker to put over the camera of your phone to ensure that pictures are not taken inside. You are still allowed to use your phone but just not for pictures. The drinks options are basically the same as LMNO. I did not know why I expected a different menu. Inside, it was dark and kinda smoky (not from cigarettes and the place did not actually smell smoky, but set up this way to make it feel more like a speakeasy). The space was not that big, there were some couches and ottomans that lined the walls, and bar seating. The music was ok, we stuck around for a couple of drinks and left.

We left saying we'll definitely be back.
