Musically, this collection couldn’t have come out at a better time; it just sounds PERFECT this time of year. It’s a windows-down affair with great hooks, the ambiance of a performance in an old barn somewhere (with plenty of power for amplifiers and a couple of good kegs on tap), and there are few things as satisfying as Slim’s primal screams when he’s about to bring it on home (for evidence, check out the rollicking “She’s Gone”).

It was an epic, expletive-strewn tirade against the low-life, drunk Philadelphians who dared to ruin his appearance. After a few minutes [...]

What does warm weather mean to me? Rolling through a field of fragrant daisies during the day, of course. And when the sun goes down, I de-daisy myself and hit the city for a night of quality beers and music. The Khyber always offers both, especially this Thursday night:
“ Girl About Town is [...]

Philadelphia - Vicki Larkin was worried. Her boyfriend Scott seemed depressed. He was sleeping late, acting grumpy and thumbing his nose at any suggestion of exercise or a change to a healthier lifestyle.
