Donuts
In 2018, Philadelphia pub rock stalwarts, the Donuts, performed Rockpile’s legendary Seconds of Pleasure lp in its entirety at Kung Fu. Why? We can’t remember. However, the Donuts have taken things one step beyond. They return to Kung Fu to celebrate the release of their latest record, The Pleasure of Seconds. Yes, the boys took it upon themselves to write answer songs to Rockpile’s originals. Seconds, as it were. Rockpile affectionately sang “Teacher Teacher”; the Donuts celebrate a sexy “Substitute Teacher.” Rockpile’s “When I Write the Book” is answered with “Every Book I Never Read.” You get the point. None of this would matter if the Donuts – called “a band to watch” in Playgirl magazine – didn’t coat their pub rock replies in the usual power pop confection for which they have long been celebrated. Come join ‘the nuts for this much anticipated record release party!
Foxycontin
Foxycontin, an American band based in Philadelphia, are four men devoted to
playing high-spirited, pop punk. Formed in 2003, the band features members
of Philly punk legends The Electric Love Muffin and Krhissy. Over the
course of their career, they have endeared themselves to the Philadelphia
music scene for their high energy live performances, crisp well-structured
songs, and tight execution. On their long awaited debut LP This Time You’re
On Your Own (Sister Raygun Records), the band, under the guidance of
producer Pete Rydberg, has captured a sound that echoes the halcyon days of
Stiff Records as well as the raging melodiousness of Stiff Little Fingers and
The Ramones. Tha band added Late Night Television singer-guitarist Matt
Kelley in 2022.
