PHOTOS: The Wayside Shakeup at MilkBoy Philly

It felt great to be back in Philadelphia as The Wayside Shakeup opened up for Animal Years and Wild Adriatic at MilkBoy. The band’s set was tight as the guys played selections from their entire catalog, including their newest single, “Stay Up,” and selections from their funky “Private Party” EP.

Overall, Wayside’s set was a fun beginning to a great night of indie music in the City of Brotherly Love. Enjoy some photos from our night on the town, and be prepared for an extra treat from the show in the coming days.

PHOTOS: Roi and the Secret People at Rivals Easton

On Friday night, Easton’s Roi and the Secret People premiered the music video for their song, “Hungry,” at Rivals Sports Bar & Restaurant in Easton. The packed room in attendance received the new video well, and were treated to an incredible night of rock and roll from the band, fronted by the charismatic Mike Roi.

The evening also featured an opening spot from Employees Only, a band comprised of instructors from Easton and Allentown School of Rock locations. The teachers proved to be masters at their craft, playing rock standards and extended jams while displaying great skill and chemistry.

Review: Rofo Audio – Now Broadcasting

Raymond Short from Rofo Audio joins us on an all-new QSLehighValley, sponsored by The Valley Ledger, tomorrow on SoundCloud and iTunes!

Artist: Rofo Audio
Album: Now Broadcasting (LISTEN)
Release Date: Oct. 1, 2015
Genre: Rock

It took Rofo Audio 18 months to complete their debut, “Now Broadcasting,” from start to finish. When it came out last October, the rock world was treated to an album well worth the wait and spoken in a voice that is unique to the band

The ability to make so many different styles play nice on the record is a testament to the chemistry of Rofo Audio, comprised of veteran musicians Raymond Short, Erik Lindermoyer, and Andy Mihalcik. One particular highlight “From the Bottom,” which showcases the band’s songwriting prowess and concludes with a two-minute instrumental jam that features a progressive bass groove reminiscent of Tool, followed by a guitar solo that calls Lynyrd Skynyrd to mind.

Another nice feature on “Now Broadcasting” are the vocal harmonies, performed by all three members of the band at various points. These harmonies are especially crisp on the album’s closer, “Tell Me Something,” which seemingly and seamlessly appears to equally derive its sensibilities from modern blues rock and 50s pop rock.

Rofo Audio is “Now Broadcasting” its members’ collective talents to the world. The album’s eight well-seasoned rock tracks make certain that listeners won’t be tuning out anytime soon.
