For nearly two years, Allentown’s Chicago Restaurant has been home to weekly original music as part of The Originals Music Series, presented by The Fyre & Ice Show.
On Friday, January 6, The Originals Music Series will celebrate this milestone in style – and will call on the help of good, reliable friends to rock the joint.
We keep the tunes pumping well into the fall with an all-new edition of The Quinn Spinn, sponsored by The Valley Ledger. On this show, we excitedly announce our participation in Acoustic Storytellers Night at American Spirits Roadhouse, featuring Brian Quinn from Candlebox (no relation).
Plus, some Stupid News, Somethin’ Good, and an update on what our #GoodFriendsoftheShow REVEL 9 are up to.
We like to encourage participation in our music scene in a variety of ways. This week, two events at Allentown’s Coffee House Without Limits put the creative power in your hands!
Truthfully, you have options in all three of the Valley’s primary cities this week, as well as a special show to the south. Learn more below about our…
Last Saturday was a beautiful day for an All-American good time. That’s what Slatington Volunteer Fire Company provided its town’s residents with the fourth annual Slatington Bike Night.
This “night” actually began at noon, and featured food, beer, vendors, bikes, cars and, of course, music. Our friends at The Fyre & Ice Show put the day’s entertainment together, with five local bands rocking a blend of covers and originals throughout the day. First up was Wicked Beaver, who featured a setlist of familiar classic rock hits to get things warmed up.
Next, Bethlehem-based Eighteenth Hour came to the stage, switching things up and turning heads with their well-crafted rock originals.
By the time Eighteenth Hour concluded, it was the middle of an laid-back weekend afternoon. Our musical lineup had just the thing for such a relaxing atmosphere: father-daughter duo AVYLON, who came through with some new originals and a jukebox of covers.
Crowds had begun to gather in larger numbers as AVYLON’s set went on. While this was, no doubt, because of the duo’s acoustic stylings, it was also due to the fact that the ever-popular CA/CD — an AC/DC tribute band, as you might guess — was up next. The band’s renditions of songs like “Thunderstruck” and “Dirty Deeds” were on-point, as was its onstage presence throughout the set.
Finally, as night has begun to creep its way into Slatington Bike Night, those who stuck around were in for a real treat, as Long Island-based REVEL 9 had made their way to the Valley for the occasion. It was my first time seeing the hard rockers — unbelievable, considering their song, “All I’ve Become,” has been my podcast’s theme song for two years — and they did not disappoint! With blazing guitars, REVEL 9 presented songs off of its two albums, “The Razorblade Diaries” and “The Reality Crush,” as well as unreleased tracks and a couple of well-timed covers. Frontman DJ Pearlman even stuck around afterwards to give CDs to the kids who had stayed to rock out, ensuring a love of music in the next generation.
With the day in the books, there was a good feeling in the air. It was one of gratitude, and of a unity through music. Thanks to The Fyre & Ice Show for including us, and for putting the day’s great lineup together.
We are back with an all-new (albeit not live) season premiere of The Quinn Spinn, sponsored by The Valley Ledger! We are joined by our very #GoodFriendoftheShow DJ Pearlman from Long Island-based hard rock band, REVEL 9. DJ talks to us about the band, the music industry, and their upcoming show at Slatington Bike Night this Saturday, September 24 at 6:30 p.m.

Links to the stream will be shared on Quinn Spinn and Lehigh Valley Underground social media channels, including Facebook and Twitter.
An old friend joins us – DJ Pearlman of hard rock juggernaut REVEL 9 is the only appropriate guest for a season premiere of The Quinn Spinn. You’ve heard DJ’s voice at the beginning of every piece of Quinn Spinn programming since September 2014 by way of REVEL 9’s song, “All I’ve Become.” Tonight, you’ll also hear DJ talk about the band, the industry, and their appearance at Slatington Bike Night this Saturday, September 24.
New music premieres – The season premiere of The Quinn Spinn will feature brand new tunes from #GoodFriendsoftheShow old and new, including Second Player Score, Lemonade Kid, and SloFunkPump.
Local flavor – We have no shortage of tunes from artists native to our home in eastern Pennsylvania, including Michael Meade, Mesa Jane, Roi and the Secret People, Acoustic Kitty Project, and more!
Popular segments return – We’re doing something special tonight by bringing back classic Quinn Spinn segments. Expect to hear some Stupid News with The Quinn, as well as Somethin’ Good a bit later on in the show (formerly Good News with The Quinn).
To usher in the Facebook Live era of The Quinn Spinn, Lehigh Valley Underground is honored and privileged to announce long-time Good Friend of the Show DJ Pearlman as the first guest of our official podcast’s new season on Monday, September 19 at 6 p.m. ET.
You might know DJ from Long Island-based hard rock juggernaut REVEL 9, and followers of The Quinn Spinn will recognize him for a number of reasons. Not only is DJ always a fun interview – here’s proof – but his band’s song, “All I’ve Become,” has kicked off every piece of Quinn Spinn programming in existence since September 2014.
DJ’s upcoming appearance on the show also comes at the perfect time: REVEL 9 will be entering the Lehigh Valley on Saturday, September 24 to once again perform at Slatington Bike Night. Taking place from 12-8 p.m. and sponsored by our good friends at The Fyre & Ice Show, Slatington Bike Night promises to feature food, fun and, of course, awesome music. LVU will be in attendance all day long. So really, DJ’s interview on The Quinn Spinn’s season premiere is just the start of a wild week for us!
