Yo Darkroom will be hosting the event to coincide with their newest video and performance exhibition “Empty Orchestras: Art Meets Karaoke.” “Empty Orchestras: Art Meets Karaoke” presents five artists who use the traditional Japanese pastime to express their issues of today. Tonight, you get to become a part of the experience.

The exhibit will be running now through September 13, but the party is a one-night only event. You might have a horrible voice, but who cares? It’s a karaoke party. Come sing your heart out!

Yo Darkroom (113 N. 23rd St)- September 6- 8 p.m.- FREE

Rittenhouse concerts kick off with Dr. Dog

Posted by Alysson Cwyk on 12 Aug 2008 | in: Drex and the City

Back again for another year, Philadelphia Weekly presents their “Concerts in the Park” series every Wednesday night in Rittenhouse Square (18th & Walnut St) from August 13 to September 3.

This week features local “it” boys, Dr. Dog.  With the new album, “Fate,” just released on July 22, the quintet has been moving up on music charts and gaining airplay nationwide.

“Fate” is their most complex recording to date. The composition and togetherness of the band completely trumps their earliest Beach Boy covers and demos.  Creating a unique sound of their own, Philadelphia should be proud to be the motherland of Dr. Dog.

The weather forecast for Wednesday is looking glorious, so head down to the park with some friends to catch Dr. Dog as they perform their newest material to their hometown…for FREE!
