Bleeding Rainbow played Johnny Brenda’s in Philly on March 30th to a sold out crowd.  The band had taken to facebook prior promising a trashing performance and dammit, they delivered.  It seems that every time we see them, their configuration is slightly different.  On this night, Sarah switched between guitar and bass.  Regardless who is playing what, Bleeding Rainbow always brings intense psychedelic shoegaze punk to bear.   Add to that the obvious fun they are having doing what they do and Bleeding Rainbow is a Philly band to be seen – I know we have said this before, but we will continue to say it until they grow out of our beautiful city.

Check out some video from the JB’s performance and peruse these previous performances for more info on the band (NYE Show, Union Transfer Show).  Also, be sure to get out and see them April 13th at PhilaMOCA!

This is the fourth article in a series reviewing sets from some of the best bands in Philly at the Level Room NYE2012 show produced my Phonographic Arts. This show played double duty as the last show of 2011 and the first of 2012 and was amazing.

Also on the bill was Bleeding Rainbow.   We’ve written about them before and hate to tread old ground.  To summarize, Bleeding Rainbow is .. well .. Philadelphia’s own Bleeding Rainbow – one of those local bands everyone wants to see and for good reason.  Their sound is awesome.  Their effort is legendary.  Their music is all just really good.  Live it’s the same and on NYE2012 Bleeding Rainbow brought down the house despite the efforts of an over-zealous drunk dude who thought it was funny to repeatedly jump on stage and shout shit into the mic.  Perhaps it was funny…  In any event, the band killed it from from to back and to be able to see them without a million people in front of us is sick.  Catch em before they get huge and tour constantly.  Youv’e been warned.  We got 4 Bleeding Rainbow videos for you this time:

Edit:  Article has been updated to reflect change in band name.  

Bleeding Rainbow is the Philly band formally known as Reading Rainbow from Fishtown.  The three piece has been making quite a name for themselves with their own brand of indie/punk/beach/garage/psychedelic music – a complex one with loud drums and killer guitar solos like Best Coast with more pronounced electric guitars and one girl & two dudes.

For their first Union Transfer performance on November 17th the band opened up for Los Campesinos! and delivered a solid performance in spite of questionable sound maintenance (also noted by The Swollen Fox in their piece).  We would love to see these guys in a smaller venue to really feed off the vibe, and since they are local we know this will be possible!

With multiple 7″ers out of solid singles adorned with magical artwork in addition to two Long Plays, there is plenty of music of theirs to jam to.

If you wanted to hear about a few local bands to get behind, this is definitely one.  Check out some video from their performance below and be sure to catch them at Johnny Brenda’s November 25th!:
