Philly House Shows V

Philly House Shows is back with a special edition, double-feature for your viewing and listening pleasure. I made it out to two house shows over the weekend and shot 10 bands, including local, regional, and nationally touring acts. One of my favorite aspects of the Philly Scene is that there is never a shortage of good house shows going down with bands from all over the globe. On Friday July 30, I hit The Cracker Factory house in Philly’s Northern Liberties for a marathon show that showcased bands on several different tours and Cleveland hometown heroes TV Crimes and Dead Words, who were joined by Ohio’s Light Years, as they were essentially stranded in Philly due to some tour dates falling through.

Saturday, I hopped a ride with the fine fellows of Quiet Arcs to attend another house show in Northeast Philly at the TWOB House on Memphis St. Cops showed up, angry neighbor style, so the show was cut early and marked the final performance at TWOB. We hope this gallery is a fitting farewell to a long standing show house with a radical history of awesome shows. We know you’re here for the pics and sounds, so without further ado, here are the shows in pictures:
