Happy New Year Philly!

I posted up the big January update for the [url=http://phillyshows.artnoise.net]ARTNOISE PHILLY SHOW-LISTING[/url]! There's some pretty exciting stuff happening throughout the month like the sure-to-be-high-energy Anamanaguchi/Slingshot Dakota show at The Ox, some killer all ages shows at The Fire (way to do it right, Fire!), Joan of Arc, Ted Leo, and Yo La Tengo. If you ask me though, the real action all happens on 1/29/11: There's an acoustic set from one of the Pygmy Lush dudes at Grindcore House (newish vegan coffee house near 4th and Takser!), and THE AWESOMEST LADIES COVER BAND SHOW NIGHT EVER TO CELEBRATE THE 10th ANNIVERSARY OF SUGAR TOWN at The Tritone!!! Seriously, Sugar Town is one of the only long-running events in the city that actually works like punk rock should. Support them!

As always, if there's something we missed, drop us a line at phillyshows@artnoise.net and we'll put it up. Also, if this listing is useful to you, spread the word! The more people have access to this info, the more we're doing our job to support the scene in this wonderful crazy city.

with love,
germ ross
