URBAN LANDSCAPES FROM PHILADELPHIA’S INDUSTRIAL LEGACY

TUESDAY, JULY 2, 2013 TO TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 2013
CAFE 12, 212 S 12TH ST, PHILADELPHIA, PA

Opening presentation 6 p.m., July 2 at Cafe 12

Once again, eraserhood.com documentary photographer Bob Bruhin celebrates the Philadelphia neighborhood that inspired such diverse artists as David Lynch, David Goodis,and Sarah McEneaney. Bruhin’s “twisted views of a demented square mile” lovingly explore the rugged, gritty beauty of the classic industrial Callowhill neighborhood through the transcendent vision of a magical realist.

Bruhin has been working in and documenting the Callowhill neighborhood since 2007. He has exhibited in such diverse venues as West Philadelphia’s Seeds Gallery, Mt. Airy’s Highpoint Cafe, and PhilaMOCA’s 2012 Eraserhood Forever event.

This exhibition is sponsored by the Photographic Society of Philadelphia, in conjunction with Cafe 12.

Heartless Bastards

JBM

Tue, July 9, 2013

Doors: 8:00 pm / Show: 9:00 pm

Union Transfer

Philadelphia, PA

$10.00

Brimming with confidence and creativity, Arrow sees Heartless Bastards pushing their distinctive sound forward with their most eclectic, energetic collection thus far. The album – the Austin, Texas-based band’s first release with Partisan Records – is marked as ever by singer/guitarist/songwriter Erika Wennerstrom’s remarkable voice, at turns primal and pleading, heartfelt and heroic. Songs like “Parted Ways” and the searing “Low Low Low” expertly capture the Bastards’ multi-dimensional rock in all its strength and spirit. Following upon the difficult introspection of 2009’s acclaimed third album, The Mountain, Arrow stands as a powerhouse new beginning for the Heartless Bastards.

Sweet Lovin’ at the Proposition Tent
First Friday July 5, 6:30 – 9pm

North 11th and Carlton Streets
(Between Wood and Callowhill Streets, across from Vox Populi and The Trestle Inn) (map)

The Proposition Tent is a platform for a range of compelling ideas rooted in local Philly neighborhoods and on the international stage. Literally housed in a big red tent, it provides a chance to shake up the format for what an art show can be and who can be in it. The Proposition Tent isn’t just an art show – it is a convivial space for the communication of ideas.

July’s topic, Sweet Lovin’, is our most sincere and sentimental yet. But honestly folks, what’s more important than love? Artists, activists, and writers explore the depths of the heart and attempt to contribute to the pursuit of love. Features work by Yoko Ono and John Lennon; local artist Leroy Johnson; local nonprofit LoveLovingLove; as well as a statement by Rebecca Solnit, which will be read aloud.

eu.Reca is at it once again, working on the next album in Philadelphia. Looking for a more acoustic and dynamic sound with a vibrant stage performance, Red Richards is collaborating with a diverse group of talented musicians. eu.Reca’s new MC, hailing from Brooklyn, Ceaser Live Soul is a powerful rapper with an energetic stage presence. Drew “Hondo” Felder, Philly born and raised bassist and composer/arranger, is bringing his expertise and creativity to the band. Ryan Seay, classically trained trombone player and and drummer Gabriel GH, both from the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, are also contributing to this new opus.

∆ Happy Lives
http://happylives.bandcamp.com/track/feeling-right-single
 

Neo Pop. Born between a bedroom in Brooklyn and a basement in Boston, Happy Lives is a conflict. Mike Lande writes and records everything AKA whatever he wants. What is catchy? What is strange? And what does it mean to get down. No instrument, genre, or personality is off-limits. His cohort, Julian Beel, using DJ-software for a scalpel, re-imagines the pieces to fit any mood and location. With Beel at the digital helm, Lande takes off live. Party.

The Black Box at Underground Arts is a 200 person capacity arts space and music venue located in Philadelphia’s Eraserhood on 12th and Callowhill street between the Trestle Inn and Prohibition Taproom.

Home to the mutlimodal art experience, we host cutting edge DJs and live musicians as well as performance and visual artists. Stocked with a full bar serving local boutique beers and providing some of the best quality sound in Philadelphia, we encourage you to discover this beautiful space for yourself!

Open Fridays and Saturdays. To enter, use the same entrance as Underground Arts.
