Concert Review: slenderbodies @ The Foundry
On October 13th, slenderbodies played the Foundry in Philly with opening band Hazey Eyes. They are no strangers to Philadelphia, having played The Radio 104.5 Birthday Celebration in 2018, and the Fillmore that same year, supporting Passion Pit. The California based indie pop duo consists of two members, Max Vehuni and Benji Cormack. They are joined on stage by touring drummer Will; on stage they announced this is his first tour. For their first headlining show in Philly, the Foundry seems to be the perfect venue. Their live light production spills off the back of the stage and fills the entire room.

Chinatown Slalom - Who  Wants To Be A Millionaire

Author: Frank McLaughlin
Liverpool’s own, Chinatown Slalom, have released their incredibly diverse and eclectic debut album, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? To say the least, it is next to impossible to nail down this band’s “genre”. The project features sample-heavy boom bap beats on songs like Where U At? and Dr Marvelo & His Best Friend Corkie, while also including crooning, guitar-laden ballads like Just Love, and more synthesizer-driven electronic tracks like Ricky’s Song.
