[ ]   Aderbat, the Doylestown band whom we have told you about before, has given the world the gem below recorded outside their lair near D-town last week.

 

 

Their next gig is July 24 at Johnny Brenda’s, which will serve as a release party for the band’s We Belong to the Sea CD. East Hundred and Bitter Bitter Weeks will support.

 

[ ]    phillyBurbs.com is holding a pretty cool Joy Division giveaway. For those that do not know – or who only know the name because of this – Joy Division was a British rock band who certainly helped move rock music forward past the days of punk and into electronica in the early 1980s.

     The band reformed as New Order after lead singer Ian Curtis committed suicide in 1980, which, of course, in the twisted world of music criticism and pop culture, established Joy Division’s legacy. (Tough way to gain cred.- Ed.)

           Anyway…the grand prize winner gets the newly released Joy Division DVD as well as a best-of CD set and three of the rock act’s records on vinyl. Enter here.

 

       

 [ ]   Do you remember The Explosions of Cherry Hill? (The band, not a tragedy.) …Probably only if you were in The Explosions of Cherry Hill.

     A new blog site, For Those Who Tried To Rock hopes to get your submissions of cover bands, garage bands and original bands that have… uh, disbanded. Among their earliest entries is The Explosions, who played Yes, ELP and Genesis songs together in 1980 in and around Cherry Hill….And wore the hell out of a pair of tube socks.
