Philadelphia definitely has one of the awesomest music scenes going on right now and is the place I probably feel the greatest kinship towards. So I am totally honored and happy to have Radio Shock be a part of some Philly-based musical documentation.
ON THE "RADIO":
I recently traveled down there on the New Jersey Transit to SEPTA train for a live performance on Zradio (http://www.zobnoba.com), quite likely the finest internet radio program in the country. Seriously, these cats somehow find more underground, noise-punk-garage-spazz music than you could ever have imagined existed, and they play bands about a year before you start hearing about them everywhere else. Radio Shock performed a set at the Zradio compound on April 13th, which can be found in episode 207.

IN PRINT:
This has been out for a while but I've neglected to mention it until now: "Everyone Is Awesome All The Time." It's a silk-screened mini-zine based on photos of some of the hottest east-coast party-noise acts playing in Philly and the surrounding area. Radio Shock also appears and I could not be more thrilled with the company I'm keeping. This is created by Mark Price and you can get a copy at http://markpriceisafactory.com/details.html
Also features brothers-in-arms: Cars Will Burn, Mugu Guymen, Caustic Castle, Mincemeat or Tenspeed, Drums Like Machine Guns, AIDS Wolf, Kyle Mabson, more!

SHOWS:
Some awesome shows are coming up.
4/6 MONTREAL at Le Cagibi
4/13 PHILADELPHIA live on Zradio
4/26 NYC at INT'L NOISE CONFERENCE on Tour
That's right, this Sunday I will be in one of my favorite places to play, Montreal Canada at a cool place called Le Cagibi. (http://www.lecagibi.ca/) Not much info at the website, but you could call the phone number for more info I suppose. Supposedly I'm playing with an act which performs Gameboy covers of AC/DC songs. Best of all, this is my birthday weekend!
Then the next Sunday I play LIVE on ZRADIO! If you don't know, Zradio is only the best radio (and podcast) program in the country, playing tons and tons of underground rock/noise/scum that you've never heard of. You should be able to hear this live online, go to http://www.zobnoba.com, or archived at that site afterwards. If you live in Philly and want to come, send me a message for details!
Coming up soon, it's the monstrous noise event from Miami, the International Noise Conference on Tour. I'll be playing the NYC stop, which takes place at the Silent Barn (http://www.myspace.com/thesilentbarn) on Sat. April 26th, along with LOTS of other amazing people. Laundryroom Squelchers headline.

FUTURE RELEASES:
A new CDR of material is really, really close to finished. This will be another limited release, and speaking of which, the "Burn Down Radio" EP is just about sold out! 15 copies or so left. (Buy one at http://www.rogerrecords.com)
Not too far in the future beyond that, a split 7" is happening.
