| R.I.P. Dave Blood, Bassist of The Dead Milkmen | |
| Mar 11, 2004: Dave Blood, bassist for defunct Philadelphia rock act the Dead Milkmen, committed suicide Wednesday, according to a post by his sister on the band's official message board (http://deadmilkmen.com). He will be missed by all of Philadelphia, and PhillyMusic.com sends our condolences to his family and many friends.
"This morning Dave Blood is no longer with us," wrote Blood's sister, Kathy. "David is my brother. Since the breakup of the band David has never really found his niche in life. My brother was a smart, clever and talented person. Inner peace has seemed to elude him for the last many years. Sometime last night David chose to end his life. He left a note that I don't know all of what it said, he was not elaborate -- but he said he just could not stand to go on any longer." | |
| Major Spring Cleaning Re-Vamp | |
| Mar 2, 2004: Some major upgrades have been done to PhillyMusic.com! The color scheme and design has been changed back to our popular design from a year ago... the black background is back! The User Profiles page has been made searchable and will now display 50 profiles per page; this should make the list much more usable. The search field will search user names, hometowns, and instruments played. | |

| The Rigbees - The Sun's Best Friend The day couldn't have been any more beautiful. The sun was shining, there was a light breeze, and most of all, thousands upon thousands of people got together and participated in the AIDS Walk right here in Philly. Now, I was normally one to participate in the Hunger Walk every April, but this was the first time I walked for AIDS. I noticed there were a lot of differences between my annual walk in April vs. the AIDS Walk. First of all, there are more people.....a lot more! Second, the walk is in the opposite direction. So mile one in April is actually mile seven in October. Despite all of this, the main difference I noticed was the surplus of live and local bands performing that day. I was amazed! As I walked myself to about mile 6.5 or so, the sun broke through the endless rows of trees in Fairmount Park and was apropriately shining brightly on The Rigbees. (Kinda like the light at the end of the tunnel....freaky symbolism there..) Based out of Oreland, PA, The Rigbees are certainly one of the best feel-good bands I have ever heard. Their harmonies are tight, the band is really together, and the way they interacted with their audience makes them a great live band. Their sound is reminiscent of a mixture of the fun popiness (if that's a word) of Barenaked Ladies, and the acoustic rock sound of Hootie and the Blowfish. Their lyrics are personal and very real, as the band tends to write about the perils of everyday life and everyday love. One of the things that really struck me was how the audience was also taken in by the group. The Rigbees weren't just playing for everyone that walked by that day. They were inspiring, and they helped to push every single walker that passed by that extra mile and a half. I had watched the crowd's reaction of 6 or 7 bands before The Rigbees, and I think that The Rigbees were the most supportive bands along those 8 miles. But after listening to their songs, I don't think anyone wouldn't push for that extra mile and a half. I think that the Philly audience needs a band like The Rigbees. They need something refreshing, and this group really does provide that sound without being too loud or too crazy. I think that they are at the top of the list in terms of any audience friendly band I've ever heard. Their music is happy, but it still has a great rock feel to keep your toes tappin' and your fingers a-snappin'. Yes, it can still happen! In these uncertain times, it's good to know that we still have a band that will help to inspire and uplift spirits, and help to take the time to make their audience feel that life is still enjoyable. So what is in the future for The Rigbees? With their sound, determination and potential, hopefully they'll be moving on to bigger and brighter things.... just don't forget Philly, OK guys? I strongly encourage you to check out one of their gigs. You can visit their site at www.rigbees.com for more information | |
