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!

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!:

Chicago’s Mannequin Men were more than just window dressing in their set at KFN in Philly on November 17th.  Hot off the release of their new eponymous album and glowing reviews by SPIN magazine among others, the quartet played a very lively and tight show for the Philly crowd.  Incorporating mostly tracks off their 2011 LP release, Mannequin Men infused the room with killer bass, guitar, drums and vocals.

Mannequin Men is comprised of Kevin Richard, Ethan D’Ercole, Seth Bohn, and Miles Raymer.  The most prevalent description of their sound (and one which we would agree with) is “If the Replacements had met Peter Sellers on the floor of a dive bar somewhere in the Midwest, they may have drunkenly thought up the Mannequin Men.” Funny, serious, and true.  Having put in incredible amounts of work over the past 7 years, the band’s efforts certainly seem to be paying off with another album that is a great listen and a live show that is as good if not better.

Mannequin Men are a treasure and should not be missed.  We only wish that they were a Philly band so we could watch them play and hang out with them more often.  Check out some video we captured from their set:
