Think Pink Floyd is the Tristate area’s most popular Pink Floyd Tribute and if you have ever seen them, you understand why. I spoke to founder and driving force behind Think Pink Floyd, Billy Martin who told me, “Think Pink Floyd delivers a concert experience that captures the mood, emotions and the intensity of the Pink Floyd theatrical presentation.” This 6 piece band features four vocalists, album sound effects and a choreographed light show of rolling fog and state-ofthe-art intelligent lighting and the same back drop video used by Pink Floyd. Billy explained, “At a Think Pink Floyd show, you are led along many beautiful and complicated paths through ‘Speak to Me’, ‘Breathe’, ‘On The Run’ and ‘Time’, before the show climaxes with ‘The Great Gig in the Sky’.” I asked Billy what he felt was different about what they do and he explained “We try to play this music note for note, just as Pink Floyd would play it. We like to see ourselves as a concept band. We work hard on getting every aspect of the presentation right. Everything has to be dead on and still remain faithful to what we feel is the spirit of Pink Floyd”. Judging from the facial expressions and reactions of the band’s audience, Think Pink Floyd does just that! When speaking with Billy, I really got the impression that Think Pink Floyd is really not about the individual band members, but more about the music of Pink Floyd as a whole. Each member is very dedicated to putting on the best show possible and they take it very seriously. They do quite a bit from the albums, “Dark Side of The Moon”, and of course, “The Wall”, but they will also mix in songs from every Pink Floyd album which is really a treat for all who love their music. It’s almost like seeing the real thing! Think Pink Floyd has been called “The Greatest Pink Floyd Show” and there is no wondering why. Anyone that has seen them perform can attest to the high level of musicianship and real feel of the music you will experience. This isn’t something you would attend and expect to hear a mediocre rendition...this is as close as you are going to get without going to see the REAL Pink Floyd! If you want to experience the music for yourself, here are some of their upcoming shows: 8/5 - 6 pm Free Concert at The Quakertown Music Festival (700 W Mill St Quakertown PA) 8/11 - 1 pm Tribute Palooza 2012 at The Ukie Club (847 N Franklin St Phila PA) 8/18 - 10 pm Sweeney’s Station Saloon (13639 Philmont Ave Phila PA) 9/15 - Us and Them Think Pink and Steal Your Face at The Legendary Dobbs (304 South St Phila PA) You can stay in touch with the band and follow them by viewing their full schedule any time at www. thinkpinkfloyd.com. ; Get ready to have your mind blown!

DJ JOHN MORAWSKI Harrigan’s Pub & Scruples By Mike Vagnoni This month we feature DJ John Morawski who can do it all ... and when we say he can do it all, we are not joking about this. He can cover any kind of party and it comes so natural for John. He’s been spinning for the last 10 years, works each week at Harrigan’s Pub on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. He also works every Thursday at Scurples Gentlemen’s Club ... now this what he does weekly ... but on the weekends, he’s a super DJ who does the private kind of party work for The East Coast Event Group. Here he covers weddings and all sorts of corporate gatherings. John hosts karaoke on Tues nights at Harrigan’s and he also does the DJ work. We asked him his thoughts about what the perfect DJ is... “Being able to read the crowds and keep that party going and also being down to earth with your patrons makes for a great DJ”, says John. He makes each night exciting and can talk on any kind of crowd that he is in front of. John takes request and will never turn down any request from his audience. He has a really good personality and is having fun when he performs. It shows. In the past he has done work at places like: The North Hampton Country Club, Spring Mill Manor, Big Heads Sports Bars, and the Kitchen Bar in Jenkintown. John has a great speaking voice and loves to entertain his audience. If you are looking for the perfect DJ for that next private affair ...

Page 14 Volume 34 Number 10 • August 8, 2012 to August 29, 2012 • www.OOTONLINE.com Bar Fundraiser Benefits Betrayed Veteran Bucks County, PA – Dean Casmirri’s Colonial Inn of Hulmeville, PA will host a benefit on Saturday, August 18th from 5–8 pm to raise funds for Joseph Gunsenhouser, a wounded Purple Heart recipient, left homeless by Veterans Affairs for defending his country. Within six months after deployment to northern Afghanistan, Gunsenhouser was nearly killed when an improvised explosive device went off while he was setting up security at his camp. Left with posttraumatic stress disorder, permanent eye damage and an impending operation to remove the shrapnel from his trachea, Gunsenhouser’s emotional scars outweigh his physical injuries as the military turns its back on him. Awarded a Purple Heart and honorable discharge with his wounds, Gunsenhouser received a Veterans Affairs (VA) housing voucher allowing him, his wife and three children to find a rental home as they forged ahead to get back on their feet. Due to his injuries Gunsenhouser is unable to work and has not been assigned any disability benefits to support his family. Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick and VA continue to work on resolving this injustice. The benefit at the Colonial Inn will help to raise funds, as well as awareness, for Gunsenhouser’s family to find a home due to the abandonment that the Army veteran received as his thanks for fighting for his country. A donation of $30 will include open bar, pizza, wings, and DJ entertainment along with 50/50 raffles and big six wheel. For those unable to attend the benefit, a donation to Joseph Gunsenhouser can be made by visiting this website: http://www.indiegogo.com/ projects/163980 or for more information contact: WoundedWarriorBenefit2012@gmail.com Contact: Lisa Hope, Manager, Dean Casmirri’s Colonial Inn, 11 Beaver Street, Hulmeville, PA 19047 • Ph: 215-752-9878 • Cell: 215-651-1572 • lisajunehope@yahoo.com • www. deanscolonial.com Volume 34 Number 10 • August 8, 2012 to August 29, 2012 • www.OOTONLINE.com Hold Back” is now available on iTunes, Beatport & Radio Danz Worldwide. Nicole Kerrigan a South Philadelphia pieces that went to NeumannGoretti High School, then followed by attending Neumann University as she majored in business with a minor in music. Nicole sharpened her vocal cords as she took voice lessons for 5 years and believe me they paid off. As she emerges onto the dance/pop scene, Nicole is eager to prove to the world that she has what it take to succeed. With the release of her first single “I Like Dem Boys”, Nicole is starting to live her dream. She will be performing LIVE in concert @ Hershey Park Chocolate Town USA on August 7th, 2012 with 2 shows 4pm and 6pm. Debra Michaels the queen of local freestyle with such hits as “How Do I Live” & “Can’t We Try”, is back on the national spotlight with all new and exciting beats that will be released very soon with a few new chart toping future singles named “Voices” and “Dreaming”. In memory of a very close dear friend, Debra is now a very strong advocate for “NAMI” (National Association of Mental Illness). Not really sure what gives this woman the power behind her vocals, but OMFG, she still sounds and looks amazing. Like a true professional, Debra’s live performances are very entertaining. Many future events have already been planned for this fall and winter in the Philadelphia area. Margie Martino has the most awesome tattooed appearance of a cross between a chart topping “Amy Winehouse” and my home town gurl “Pink”. Her voice is simply spectacular, it carries her musical message in a very unique and harmonic fashion. She performed her very sultry and seductive single “Black Magick” live at this sexy music release party, and all I can say is “WoW, where da fock has this gurl been”? Look out Philadelphia, Margie Martino has arrived and she is packing a huge powerful vocal punch. RELEASE PARTY By Roundhouse Ron While writing for Out On the Town Entertainment Paper, I get to attend many crazy parties and numerous social events. But, just recently your boy, Roundhouse Ron attended a music release party for 418 Music down in South Philly @ PLAY2 Nightclub inside of Chickie’s & Pete’s on Packer Avenue. OMG, I don’t know where to begin. First off, Gino Caporale (founder of 418 Music) knows how to throw a freakin party, from walking into the front door, this event was a total first class blast. I was greeted by a few ladies, as I was on da VIP guest list, and then received a free complimentary CD remix package of some amazing 418 Music artists. After numerous cocktails and sum amazing Chickie’s & Pete’s food, I was now ready to do a little meet and greet with very famous local musical celebs. From jump, I could tell this was gonna be a good, good night. There are numerous ways I could have written this article, but I wanted to give each artist their equal spotlight. The 418 Music empire has begun and these fine artists include Angela Devine, Nicole Kerrigan, Debra Michaels, Margie Martino, Hera and DJ Spontane. Since meeting each one of these magnificent future Grammy award winners, I decided to spread da word on how stunning they are by proceeding in this fashion ….. Gino Caporale is not only the founder of 418 Music, but, he is a legend in his own right. Since da young age of 15, he has been working da turntables & mixing boards with an ear on club beats. He worked as Billboard’s dance reporter in the late ‘80’s and early ‘90’s, while at the same time becoming one of the top 50 DJ’s in the US to make Billboard’s dance music chart. As Gino’s passion grew for music, he progressed into producing, remixing and editing. GC also created several top-selling remixes for a variety of musical talent such as Depeche Mode, De La Soul and 69 Boys, whose remix was used on the soundtrack for the film Bad Boys, starring Will Smith & Martin Lawrence. Now, with the growing internet world of communication, he has a weekly Club 418 Mix Show and a Z88.9’s Mix @ 6, not to mention this huge musical group named 418 Music. Angela Devine came from very strong roots in the Northeast Philly area as she attended Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts. Then she furthered her career, as Angela graduated from Temple University in 2009. With her passion for club music and a voice of an angel, she knew being a musical performer was in her destiny. As she is accomplishing all her dreams, Angela realized that hard work does pay off. Her new block buster of a hit named “Can’t Hera (AKA Hera Raifi) now a Philadelphian, but is originally from San Diego, CA, joins Gino and 418 Music for an experience that we all will totally enjoy. Her remix single “Goodbye Kiss” is gonna be a tremendous smash hit and can currently be heard on iTunes. She also has a very strong passion for modeling and professional photo shoots. Just like Hera says, “anything is possible when you believe”. DJ Spontane has worked very hard to earn the reputation of being one of the hypest and most talented DJ/Host in the Philadelphia area.You can find Page 15 Spontane spinning at the hottest Philly night spots, he has hosted various venues at local clubs like the 3G Lounge, Banana Lounge, Fiso Lounge, Club Tragos, Club House and many more. As part of the Sneaker Villa Dream Street DJ Squad, he not only provides in-store music for Sneaker Villa, he also host, promotes, and DJ external store events including concerts and radio promotions. I would personally like to thank Gino Caporale for an amazing night at the 418 Music release party in South Philadelphia.

Show times are at 7pm and 10:30pm. Ticket prices are $55 & $45. For tickets call 800-736-1420 or online at ticketmaster.com Louis C.K. first took the stage in 1984 at an open-mic in Boston, Massachusetts, during the apex of the comedy boom. He was so discouraged by the experience he didn’t perform again for two years. As Boston’s comedy scene grew, he gradually achieved success, performing alongside acts such as Dennis Leary and Lenny Clarke. In 1989, he moved to New York City. Now in the heart of the comedy world, he performed his act on many televised programs, including Evening at the Improv and Star Search. In 1996 HBO released his first half-hour comedy special. C.K. has performed his stand-up frequently on shows such as Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Lopez Tonight, The tonight Show with Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel Live. In August 2005, C.K. starred in a half-hour HBO special as part of the stand-up series One Night Stand. Since then, C.K. has become known as one of the most prolific comedians of his time. Inspired by the work ethic of George Carlin, the comedian has committed to dropping all of his existing material and starting over every year. In 2007, C.K. starred in his first hour-long special titled Shameless, which aired on HBO and was later released on DVD. In March of 2008, he recorded a second hour-long special, Chewed Up, that premiered on Showtime Network on October 4, 2008 and went on to be nominated for an Emmy for “Outstanding Writing in a Comedy or Variety Special.” On April 18, 2009, Louis recorded a concert film titled Hilarious. Unlike his previous specials, which had all been produced for television networks, Hilarious was produced independently, directed by C.K. himself, and sold to Epix and Comedy Central after it was complete. Because of this it was not released until late 2010, and published on DVD and CD in 2011. It is the first stand-up comedy film to be accepted into Sundance. In a 2010 interview, C.K. described returning to stand-up and doing specials after his divorce as a year and a half working “to catch up to” the breakup of his marriage which, although portrayed in the HBO series Lucky Louie as fractious, had nonetheless been central to the show and his life. One element in his preparation for stand-up was training in the boxing gym, including with locally well-known Lowell, Massachusetts fighter Micky Ward, trying to “learn how to ... do the grunt work and the boring, constant training so that you’ll be fit enough to take the beating. On December 10, 2011, Louis C.K. released his fourth full-length special, Live at the Beacon Theater. Volume 34 Number 10 • August 8, 2012 to August 29, 2012 • www.OOTONLINE.com GOD BLESS STEEL PANTHER By Jimmy Abgarian July 19th Steel Panther stormed into town and blew the doors off a sold out TLA. Opening the show was Philly locals Mach22. Mach 22 played a solid set of original material and a couple of cover songs. They have a great version of Sweet Child of Mine by Guns and Roses. If you like a rock and soul crossover then this is the band for you. Having never heard of them and having no expectations I was pleasantly surprised. On to the main event…for those of you who don’t know who Steel Panther are let me give you a quick back story. Four guys with incredible talent and a love for 80’s Pop Metal form a band that parodies all the 80’s bands that we all love. They start off playing covers on the Sunset strip. A buzz catches and the original members of the bands they cover start showing up. Then in natural progression Steel Panther start writing their own songs. Parody song with titles such as “Fat Girl (Thar she Blows)” and “Death to all but Metal” have become hits. People have not only bought their records but come to shows and know and sing every word. I might be a little presumptuous in calling them Rock Stars. I have seen them 3 times at different venues and different crowds. To say they deliver every time is a gross understatement. I seriously felt my hair grow while watching them, they are that good. I love 80’s metal bands but I don’t remember any 80’s metal band being this tight. Steel Panther puts on a show full of clichés and comedy. More importantly they play great songs that make the listener feel like they can relate. When Michal Starr tells you that he got an STD from Satchel’s mom, you feel empathy for him and Satchel’s mom. Being on the road with an STD must suck for him. The homoerotic banter between Satchel, Michael and Lexxi Foxxx who epitomizes what a tranny should look like is hysterical. All of these things make it hard to take pictures when you cant stop laughing. I’m writing this article in character because it is about the show and not so much about who the band members are. I will tell you that, there is not a band I have ever seen like them. You leave feeling like you got more than your monies worth. They do meet and greets and stay till everyone gets a picture or an autograph. I am a huge fan of a lot of bands and keep my mouth shut sometimes at the lack of appreciation some bands have for their fans. Steel Panther is not one of these bands. WMMR have been supporting them from the beginning, playing their songs in rotation promoting their Philly shows. I hope that everyone who has not heard of them goes on YouTube and checks them out. It was a great night for Out On the Town. Thank you to Matt, Steel Panther’s Tour manager for the hospitality.

Understanding evolves to a new level if you flow with different requests. Taurus (April20-May 20) If you sense some confusion, clarifies. Nebulousness surrounds events, meetings and communication in· general. Confirm all details and times before acting on any situation. Fatigue could mark others’ reactions. Gemini (May 21-June 20) If your instincts tell you to do one thing but logic says something else, stop.Your instincts are on, but risking still could be a problem. Cancer (June 21-July 22) You are far more perky than usual, and many people notice. Don’t focus on a problematic situation at home; rather, let your imagination flow. Break past present restrictions. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) A partner or associate might confuse you, but nothing like this person is confusing him or herself. Money and other partnership issues might come up. Even though you have strong feelings, wait if you want good results. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Defer to others, and understand that no one is sure of anything, including you.You need to go with intent right now. In all likelihood, plans will flub up. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Rethink a business tie. What is clear is that you don’t have .the complete story, as more and more information filters through. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keep trying to root out your inner thoughts or emotions. It is clear you have a lot more going on than you thought. A conversation with someone you consider wise will help you discover your inner depth. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your fiery, dynamic personality draws others’ attention and caring.You might not be quite clear which is the best way to proceed. Realize your limits when dealing with a partner who might be a bit hazy. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could have difficulty clearing out a problem that doesn’t involve just you.You might be a clear communicator, but others appear to be making assumptions that don’t work Aquarius (Jan. 2O-Feb. 18) You could be far more adaptable than others realize.You might want to do something in a different manner. Relate on a more positive and upbeat note than in the past. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You could make a big splash, whether you intend to or not.You might not be sure what you want or how you are projecting yourself. Slow down and refuse to make any commitments right now. If you wish to speak to Perry B. on the Phone call 215 277 1444 or you can Email psyperryb@aol.com.

When you go out to your favorite “Out On the Town” inspired location, and you order your greatly discounted food and drink. Served to you by the (practically) starving waiter or waitress, do you ever think about the bigger picture, or moreover, the “Little Things” that you might be able to do to help make a person’s day, just a tiny bit better? My guess is that the answer is no, and it comes down to a perception of your own self, your own station in life, and an ingrained set of assumptions that we all tend to make in an over stimulated, artificially over inflated system that we’ve been told by those in control, is just “normal”. Well I’ll offer here a little bit of information that may help you the next time you walk into a place and honestly want good service, good food, at a fair price; The way to get to the best in someone is a small gesture of kindness, and even if it’s seemingly rebuffed (because they don’t know better), it sets you apart from the rest in a good way, it shows you have made the step towards real happiness through the feelings and smiles of someone else. As a musician, we’d all love to be on stage and play in front of thousands of screaming fans, not being able to hear our own music because of the high pitched roar of adoring millions. We’ve all seen “Hard Day’s Night” and “Spice World” (though I really haven’t seen Spice World, but I heard it’s a remake of Hard Day’s, so that’s ok). This is the epitome of what a musician has been taught to dream about because the perception of un-tolled wealth and glory of the players has been glorified beyond our wildest dreams and it’s shown to us in the comfort of our own homes, so we want it, we think it’s natural. Then you listen to the interviews with some of the “big stars” and some of the “ultra-rich” and yes they do have very GAME CORRAL From Above nice mansions, and collections of exotic cars, travel the world in very cool jets and oversized yacht; but in their comments you can hear the cries for the “little things”. They want what everyone wants but the circumstance of the life, the society we’ve set up creates a path through life for them that leaves them outside of what the “masses” are capable of, yet they still want the little things. They cannot go for a walk in the park, because it isn’t safe for them. They can’t go off by themselves for very long because their time is too valuable to waste and there are many people tugging at them for their time. They don’t get the little things, for the most part, that we all get, but like everything there’s a cliché that make it all clear. In my book; “Dr Lou Isms, © 2010”, one of the “isms” states: “there is no cliché, without truth (at some level)” this is indicative of the point in this article. “Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it”. Well we are a bunch of “wishers” and we all sit and wish we were the people on the stage, we wish we were the movie star, we wish we were the star player making the great shot at the buzzer, that’s us, we wish. We’ve built a world that stimulates us “artificially” through countless electronic media; we have our thousand channels of TV and our internet sources of just about any form of mental stimulation that a “flea” could imagine. We have bill boards that play TV as we drive, walk through the malls or the airports. We have radio that comes from the air, the satellite, the TV, the portable music player, our phones, our cars, our clocks, and even our “refrigerators”. We are the most over stimulated group of people that has ever existed and much of this social media induced electronic information explosion has happened in this society’s life time. Our population has older people who knew a time when a TV was a tremendous luxury, contrasted with babies that have their very own “smart phone”. This time we are living in is unlike any time any civilization on the face of the “dirt ball” we call our home, has ever known. But we’re too distracted to know and appreciate the value of our greatest gift, “a moment of peace of mind”, a moment of “kindness”, and we fail to stop and recognize that “clapping when the band finishes a song”, is all they really want and it helps our souls to do it. Your children really want a moment of your time to say “hey, look at what I am, and appreciate what I do”, and that goes both ways, a parent, business owner, or musician, wants the same thing; “Appreciate me for who I am”, say “Thanks, it’s nice to see you”. It isn’t too much to ask, but it brings the greatest gift of all; a “simple smile”. That’s all we want, it’s the best we can get. Let’s recognize and lose our bad habits and; “Play On”, TAGADEEZ. and the lower screen from 3.02 inches to 4.18 inches, Nintendo unveils Nin- which Nintendo says gives players 90% more screen tendo 3DS XL space.

Review by Angel Colon It’s a known fact that we must always take the bad with the good, but does the PSVita have any bad things about it? A few great things about the Vita system is that is has front and rear cameras, front and rear touch screens, and the graphics are incredible “The best graph- ics I’ve ever seen on a handheld, says Cowboy Bob”. Some amazing titles are already out such as Uncharted, Mortal Kombat, Unit 13, Gravity Rush, and quite a few more. Some great titles coming out later this year that we are looking forward to are Silent Hill, which will be the first of its series to feature 4-player co-op, Final Fantasy X HD, BioShock, Call Of Duty, Killzone, and Little Big Planet. I don’t know about you but so far I don’t see any deal breakers, besides all the great things already mentioned one of the cooler things I think are playing online and being able to talk to whoever you are playing with like you would normally do on other consoles such as PS3 or Xbox360 with a microphone but the Vita being as great as it is it has a built in microphone. Pretty good…..what about the battery life? Well once I bought my Vita I put it to the test and the results are pretty amazing which is no surprise. I clock in at 4½ hours of non-stop gameplay in one full charge and it’s the same for video play-back BUT almost 10 hours of listening to music before the battery reaches zero percent how amazing is that? $259.99... is it really worth that much? I completely believe that it is worth that much, not only because I love the system but the amazing titles being released for it makes it that much more worth it to me. Maybe you’re asking yourself “should I just go buy a used one from Game Fixx?” and the answer is YES because that’s how I got my Vita and NO ONE beats Cowboy Bob’s price on the Vita, floor model of the vita at Game Fixx only $209.95 and one complete with box only 229.95 and they come with memory cards unlike the brand new ones at game-stop and best-buy which only come with the system and charger for $259.99. Even the games are sold cheaper at Game Fixx…so why haven’t you got one yet?

Owen Kamihira, owner of Bar Ferdinand (1030 North 2nd Street; 215.923.1313) in Northern Liberties, is honored to announce, that after taking a 6 month sabbatical in Jamaica, David Ansill has returned to his roots in Philadelphia to become Executive Chef. Kamihira and Ansill have a 30 year history that started when they worked together in the 80s at South Street’s infamous Copabanana. “Throughout the years I have watched and admired David’s career and growth as a chef,” explains Bar Ferdinand owner Owen Kamihira. “I have always trusted his palette. His simple use of ingredients and his ability to extract the essence of those products in his dishes, has always amazed me.” Kamihira continues, “David’s motorcycle travels through spain with my brother Eben, had a lasting culinary affect on him. His dishes, have always had the 1-2-3 simplicity of the food of Spain.” Chef David Ansill is currently applying his imagination to an exciting new menu that will debut in late September. But, beginning August 2nd, every Thursday Ansill will explore Spanish inspired dishes using seasonal ingredients, with his new multicourse Chef’s Tasting Menu. The cost is $40 per person (plus tax and gratuity) and is offered from 5 - 11pm. In addition, Ansill is creating a series of specials each night that live up to Bar Ferdinand’s seasonal ingredient-driven reputation. Bar Ferdinand has always been a chef driven restaurant. When it opened in 2006, they introduced a menu of traditional and modern tapas with a focus on local and seasonal ingredients. The menu has evolved through the years. But, that focus and commitment has never changed. With David Ansill coming on board, he will put his culinary stamp on Bar Ferdinand’s menu and take it to the next level!

The 1st Annual Liberty Music Fest will be held at The Legendary Dobbs from Thursday August 16th to Sunday August 19th. Our goal is to celebrate, educate, and showcase original music over these four days. With the constant changing of the music industry we want to introduce music enthusiasts to upcoming bands on the original scene, both locally and nationally. We also want to introduce musicians involved in the festival, and otherwise, to professionals on the inside of the music industry. We will be doing this with a collection of guest speakers, educational seminars, and workshops. We will also be hosting daily VIP Happy Hours to lighten the mood and promote networking. We will be opening the festival with a screening of George Manney’s celebrated documen- tary “Meet Me on South St” on Thursday August 16th at 7 PM. This documentary is the story of the original JC Dobbs, the storied music venue that has been the beating heart of the local Philadelphia Scene since the late 70’s. On Friday we are honored to have Lou Plaia, Co-Founder of Reverbnation. Lou will be giving a keynote speech regarding Reverbnation; currently 90% of active independent artists use this platform to run their music promotions. He will discuss topics and advise bands on how to utilize Reverbnation to its fullest potential. He will also highlight new features being added Fall 2012. Saturday and Sunday are jam-packed with educational panels regarding topics such as publishing & licensing, recording great records, touring & booking, views from artists currently on the scene, and getting your music out there. There will also be workshops regarding branding, building effective merch, songwriting, and the legal process. Each night will be topped off with some great, inspiring, original music; the whole reason we’re here. The showcased artists span across many genres and states, physically and mentally. All participating bands were selected through a submission process. Ten individuals, ranging from industry professionals to college students to regular music fans, participated and decided on the bands. We were very deliberate in ensuring the selection process was about what mattered, pure talent, originality, and buzzworthiness. “LMF is not fueled by money like other festivals. I modeled the festival after the Dewey Beach Music Conference, which we are going into our 11th year. Our goal is to promote and educate the artists; all monies from submission will go into promotions. The nighttime showcases revenues will be used pay the artists. This is about the artists and music that they create,” Liberty Music Fest co-founder Jim Thorpe. NUGENT, REO SPEEDWAGON & STYX BLOW DOORS OFF BORGATA! -All Photos: Lynn Ramage’ The Borgata really appreciates the press and treats ‘Out on the Town’ with such courtesy and respect. Their staff there is ever so courteous to everyone! One of the best shows I have covered in a long time recently at the Atlantic City, Borgata was the “Midwest Rock & Roll Express Tour” featuring wildman “Ted Nugent, REO Speedwagon and STYX bringing down the house! All three bands honestly were a perfect match! I had a chance to interview Ricky Phillips from STYX that ran last issue and after seeing the band live realized just how much talent all these guys have! The show ran smooth as butter! All the bands sounded timeless playing countless hits for hours and the lighting and sound was superb there! Singer “Tommy Shaw” of STYX has one of the most outstanding voices in rock! STYX brought the House down! STYX was simply amazing! “Wildman- Ted Nugent” went on first getting the crowds roaring! I am guessing as I read her book that this was Ted’s wife here that jumped up on stage to taunt the crowd! “REO SPEEDWAGON” Sounded just spectacular!

If not, then you haven’t been to Victory Beer Hall inside the all new Xfinity Live! Philadelphia. Bangarang has been a staple at Victory since its grand opening in March, supplying South Philadelphia’s newest hot spot with a high energy, exciting rock show that has been missing from the scene for years. Bangarang got their start as an acoustic duo, but after adding a few pieces, they have burst onto the cover band scene and have become a house hold name overnight. It starts with their front men. Jim Wible and Phil Murphy have been performing together for years and it shows. Whether harmonizing, or singing on their own, these two captivating voices command your attention. Next, the lead saxophone of Fred Lahm adds a fresh dimension to this dynamic band. Opting to do guitar solos on the saxophone is risky, but Lahm has the talent and stage presence to pull it off. On the bass guitar, the sometimes German Mascot, but always enjoyable Woodsy, brings the funk and the fun to every show. Bangarang has a rotating roster of drummers, but whether it’s Josh Dannin or John O’Reilly Jr behind the kit, they don’t miss a beat. If you’re reading this magazine, then you are looking for the next great place to party, and Victory Beer Hall on a Bangarang night is the answer. Where else can you enjoy a vast selection of your favorite Victory Beers, while dancing on tables and singing along to the area’s most exciting new band? Go to Bangarangmusic.com for show times and a full schedule.
