Subhumans

Where: First Unitarian Church Philadelphia

Date: 2007-09-21 19:30:00

Type:

England's Subhumans were one of the more noticeable bands in the anachro-punk scene from 1980 to 1985. Angry, intelligent lyrics and music more diverse than most punk groups made them one of the more interesting punk groups to follow. Toxic Narcotic plays brutal hardcore punk and is Boston's longest standing DIY band. Blazingly fast and loud, Toxic Narcotic appeals to fans of punk, hardcore and metal alike.

Metric

Where: Trocadero Theater

Date: 2007-09-19 19:00:00

Type:

Metric's 2003 debut, 'Old World Underground, Where Are You Now,' was a statement of both resignation and resurrection: when the underground you once romanticized has given way to pre-fab Rebellion!, grab a shovel and start digging your own subterranean sanctuary. But spend enough time down and out of sight and you start feeling the need to come up for air. And when Metric did just that after a year of ceaseless, club-by-club conversions, they were confronted with a strangely beautiful sight: a crowd of people looking right back at them. The very fashionistas and consumerists they slyly satirized in songs like 'Dead Disco,' 'Combat Baby' and 'The List' were singing along with them. And it felt good.

Lizz Wright, Bitch and the Exciting Conclusion

Where: World Cafe Live

Date: 2008-03-19 20:00:00

Type:

This powerful jazz singer gives new and fresh interpretations to the recordings of such artists as Sarah Vaughan and Oleta Adams. Armed with an electric violin, a ukulele and a bass guitar, Bitch (formerly of Bitch and Animal), takes the stage with her band The Exciting Conclusion, featuring 'The L Word's' Daniela Sea. Both an entertainer and songwriter she has pulled audiences to their feet worldwide with her politically charged and personally wrenched lyrics, her atypical instrumentation, minimalist sound and wildly dramatic stage persona. Bitch and the Exciting Conclusion are continuing the Bitch and Animal tradition of making music that is symphonic, beatworthy, break your heart balladry, and raise the roof revolutionary.
