Tired of paying good money on something that ain't worth it. When I go out to see a premier international Punk band in Philadelphia I'm tired of The Droogettes representing the Philly Punk and Oi! community. There are original bands in town that work hard, practice regularly, release original music and will never get the opportunity to play bigger shows because of the nepotism this town is famous for. And let's face it, seeing them once goes a long way. Oi!
I have been hearing from so many folks who are just as fed up as I am with the gatekeeping and the stale lineups that seem to keep happening at every venue lately. It really feels like the local talent is being pushed aside for the same old thing and honestly I am just trying to figure out how to get the promoters to actually listen to what the scene wants instead of just who they know.

Talentless, unoriginal and unintentionally hysterical. Book real bands. Philly, you're better than this.

Making women musicians look bad. I would never discourage people from making music. We all have to start somewhere but the people booking these shows are guilty of theft.
