Sat, May 2nd- Black Landlord w/ Captain Smokes and The Shotguns - Village Green Presents



Black Landlord
"This is a project started by Maxx (formerly of the Goats and Incognegro). It is a TRUE collective. The idea began 4yrs ago with friends and super-electro producers Leonard de Leonard and Olaf Hund. They worked together in Paris and Berlin, writing songs and daydreaming about how to bring talented people together. So, after learning German, some ghetto French and drinking great beer, Maxx returned home to Philly and put a live band together and the end result was a diverse mix of Philly All-Stars."

with
Captain Smokes and The Shotguns
"Captain Smokes is back. Its been a long and strange trip but he got the original Shotguns lineup back together and clam baked the studio to create some new tune-age. (Bud Hempfield--Guitar, Herb Roller--Keyboard, Omar Hashish--Bass, Screenz--Drums) Captain Smokes & The Shotguns is simply pleasure in your ears after you pleasured your lungs. The Captain pleasures himself everytime he hears himself. He's travelled the world, studied with Zanga and puffed great plants in many foreign countries. The Captain still doesn't have any tattoos and plans on keeping it that way. Nothing more to prove. Nothing more to say. Just peace and all good things. Come groove to the best live show on planet Earth."

April 24-26 - Eye of the Tiger Screening, Battle of the Bands, Indie Craft Market!

Friday, April 24th – Eye of the Tiger, Thrill of the Fight - Screening Party

Written and directed by Jena Serbu
Shot for two weeks straight, on location at the Philadelphia Art Museum, Eye of the Tiger/Thrill of the Fight (written and directed by Jena Serbu) offers a hilarious and thought-provoking glimpse into the voyeuristic world of reality television, juxtaposing all three sides of this phenomenon: the high strung producers, the daft participants, and the spellbound viewers. Seven stereotypical contestants are duped into signing up for a new reality television show called 'The Philadelphia Experiment', on which the participants have their luggage stolen and are forced to live homeless on the grounds of the Philadelphia Art Museum.

Cast members include Tony Luke Jr., Christa D’Agostino, Scotty Yelity, Chris Osborne, Mark A. Dahl, Brea Bee, Ishmael Klein, Mei-Yann Hwang, Dana Michael, Rob Paluso, Amie Shafer, Tim Shelton, Tamika Simpkins, Michael Minnard, Robert Boileau, and Steve Klasky

Adapted from the Stage Play:
Eye of the Tiger : Thrill of the Fight
in conjunction with Uncut Productions

April 11th - Consider the Source, West Philly Orchestra, Igor's Nest

Saturday, April 11th - Flauf Productions Presents:
Consider the Source, Electric Avant Garde West Philly Orchestra, Igor’s Nest

Consider the Source - Jam Band / Progressive / Psychedelic Three musicians converging on an epic plateau of sound and reflex. Three conscious minds communicating on subconscious levels. Consider the Source is one voice born of three distinct personalities. Their music is aggressive and yet serene, powerful, and honest. They play what they feel and demand your full attention. Love 'em or hate 'em, the one thing they won't let you do is ignore them.

The West Philadelphia Orchestra (WPO) is up to 15 of Philadelphia's best and most daring musicians, from all different backgrounds (jazz, classical, experimental, indie), playing music, much of it Romani, from Romania, Hungary, Serbia, and Macedonia. The Electric Avant Garde version will be performing at the 941 Theater, a scaled down Electronic version of the full WPO experience.
