Somehow Sofar Sounds : Philadelphia is hitting their 4th Anniversary. The now world-wide phenomenon was a few shy of twenty cities world-wide when Philadelphia joined the ranks. These days, the shows are all over the globe and it seems like there are just shy of twenty dates in NYC alone each month. It all started in London, back in 2009, and slowly spread during the next two years to New York, Paris, DC, Los Angeles, Pune India, Houston, Brighton, Seattle, New Dehli, Sydney, Madrid, Berlin, Toronto, Dallas-Forth Worth, and Glasgow before hitting the City of Brotherly Love.
During the next 10 days I'm going to look back at four years of Sofar Sounds: Philadelphia trying to give my version of the best videos. Please comment and share what were your favorites.
#20 Elijah & The Moon - Winter Trees
During the 2nd Anniversay show, Elijah Wolf and Gianluca Minucci; known then as Elijah and the Moon wowed as part of a 6 band celebration. Check out "Winter Trees":
#19 The Gallerist - Blame
While Sofar Sounds, internationally has a reputation for having some killer bands coming through their doors. It's the local favorite/little known-band who's has laid the groundwork for the whole series. Mike Collins was having drinks with friends watching some a brunch set with friends just a few hours before a last minute invite had him & Kai Carter playing at The Rivals House. This last minute set may have produced the best video of their Philly tenure, featuring "Blame" from their 2nd EP Twine.
