Philly's Moving / Touring, Philadelphia Mafia To Miss Out.


I wouldn't say the full length from Philadelphia Grand Jury blew my mind but I certainly am a fan of their live performances and most of their music. With increasing popularity they've made the brave step of relocating to the UK and going on tour overseas. It's definitely a move that can spell disaster with many of Australia's most loved acts leaving our loving safe haven for more unforgiving shores only to return albeit a little higher on the Big Day Out schedule. But I think successful moves to more competitive markets are about growth as much as they are about people liking the original product.

Fear not though Philly fans, they're not leaving without a quickfire We Don't Want To Party (Party) during April that will no doubt leave you baffled at the propsect of a anti-party party and remarking how these cheeky scamps do like to party, the name was just a sneaky trick to get boring people to show.

Joining them in their crusade against partying party is one of my personal favourites The John Steel Singers whose Rainbow Kraut vocals still haunt my mind when I'm sitting in a boring lecture.

Just to confirm with the Philadelphiens that it appears the band who have stolen your fine city's name for their commercial band purposes will not be paying you a complimentary tribute visit... you have too many mafia criminals... I know all about you from NatGeo and I'm sure Philadelphia Grand Jury do also. You know, the informative channel that taught you all about how Australians are convicts.

But completely I set this location selling them someone is concerned half price. I in reality love those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]gucci sneakers[/url].
