The Felice Brothers at Union Transfer (Philadelphia, PA 9-27-2011)

James Felice of The Felice Brothers at Union Transfer

tequila snapshots,
dancing to running chickens
boot stomping with sis

square dance slam dance hall
ruckus in the train station
bass quake engines fast

This was the last show Ady and I were able to attend of the current Celebration, Tourida world tour (if they’re coming near you, GO SEE THEM!), this one at the brand new (and very, very cool) venue, Union Transfer in Philadelphia. Bitter sweet evening, as it was the only one that Ady and I were able to attend together this run (this time around we attended as Two Sisters a Professor and a Show), so we made sure to have an extra fantastic night (read: dancing our hearts out), which of course was easy to do with The Felice Brothers playing.

Ady stopped here and there to take some photos, you can view the full Felice Brothers at Union Transfer photo set on our Flickr account.

“double” haiku review by Ady/Shan

(Thanks are in order to the Brothers for the gut-punch inducing beautiful music, and the crazy good times Ady and I have at the shows we’ve been able to catch along the way!)

THE FELICE BROTHERS – “Love Me Tenderly” (live)

Countdown until The Felice Brothers head back our way has begun! Until then we’ve got this, a sweet live performance of “Love Me Tenderly” from their show at The First Unitarian Church on March 30, 2011 in Philadelphia caught on video by Ady:

Tim Kasher live at Johnny Brenda’s: photos, haiku review and a short interview

divorce was beauty
under spinning disco lights
all drunk together

peter pan on stage
rocking so hard glasses smashed
such a good birthday

Tim Kasher (Cursive) has been on the road touring his recent solo release ‘Bigamy: More Songs From the Monogamy Sessions’ EP and Ady caught him, along with openers Aficionado and Laura Stevenson and the Cans, at Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia last night. Of course her camera was by her side, but she was also able to talk to him after the show for a quicker than lightning interview. Here’s how the conversation went.

Ady: Your show tonight was amazing. Do all your shows go this smooth?
Tim Kasher: No, not all of them, but tonight was pretty good.

Ady: When do you think you will be back in Philly again?
Tim Kasher: Maybe in March.

Ady: So can I ask you one final question and call this an interview?
Tim Kasher:Yeah!

Ady: Ok. If you had a superpower, what would it be?
[no hesitation on Tim’s end, and he stretches his arms out wide]
Tim Kasher: You know how some people want to be all stretchy?

Ady: Oh, so you want super stretch powers!
Tim Kasher: No. I want to fly.

Ady: Can I quote that?
Tim Kasher: Absolutely.

Thanks to Nichole for the special Seymour Glassian double-haiku review (and happy birthday!)
