Although I'm pumped for Ratdog at Tower, I'm ecstatic about this month's line up at the Electric Factory. The E Factory is located on the 400 block of N. 7th St. in Philly and is loved by all for the danceability of the venue and also for the lack of security in the lot. (Balloons anyone?)
It's not my particular style of music, but Grizzly Bear and Beach House will be kicking off October this Wednesday at 8p.m. Tickets are only $26.00 (not counting the extra fees).
Following on Saturday October 10th is a personal favorite, The Mars Volta. Doors open at 8:30p.m.and tickets are only $35. Whether they're described at experimental rock, progressive rock, or jazz fusion, it's fitting. The show is going to be epic and if you've never heard The Mars Volta, I promise it will be the best $35 you've ever spent.
Insane Clown Posse is playing on October 15th. I won't be going and suggest you don't either.
Zeppelin tribute band Get the Led Out is rockin the E Factory on October 23rd at 8:30. Tickets are (gasp!) only $22.50. If you're too young to have seen Zeppelin live or are looking for a nostalgic show, I highly suggest this band. I have definitely heard people strongly oppose covering Zeppelin, but if any group of musicians do them justice, Get the Led Out succeeds. It wouldn't be fair to call them a cover band, because they really do pay tribute to the best rock and roll band of all time.
Speaking of tribute bands, Dark Star Orchestra is scheduled for November 7. The Grateful Dead tribute band combines Ratdog and Phil Lesh and Friends to cover classic Dead singles ("Truckin" is a guarantee) just as well as classic Dead transitions ("China Cat Sunflower" > "I Know You Rider"). Tickets are $25 big ones.
Getting a little ahead of myself, the Disco Biscuits are playing in late November. More info in next month's post, but if you're a Biscuit head or have ever been curious about them, the Electric Factory is the place to see them.
As always, additional info and ticket sales can be found at LiveNation.com
