What it Do

Its a hip hop weekend thanks to Flava Fest. We still got plenty of other jump offs around the way too. Normally, I would wax on about something unrelated or something from last night, but I already did that in the next post on down the page.

Friday

• Flava Fest says go watch breaking at FUEL with their open bar (3rd and arch)
• Colt45 more your thing? Turbostation sex planet madness with Steven Bloodbath and Strawberry Mansion on the main floor, Hurrah and Apt One in the Basement and the lovely Oh Murder Inc! along with the Super Todd Bros. Free colt and entry until midnight all at Transit (6th and Spring Garden)
• Remember Bat for Lashes and their insanely awesome video? They're playing tonight at Johnny Brendas. $10. (Frankford and girard)
• Live DnB at the Raven Lounge with the Damaged crew (1708 Sansom)

Sundae

• House music is still alive every Sunday. Real house music has always thrived here. Just check out Sound of Market. Last week was bananas with Josh Wink. This week from the UK is Darren Holland and on the mic crooning out soulful songs is Philly's own Lady Alma. Sake sangrias on special, $5 or free with college id. Beautiful people and beautiful music. 3 - 9 at Bubble House, 3404 Sansom.
• Lady Alama - Higher
• Found Magazine presentation 7 PM at the FU Church (22nd and Chestnut)
