Okay Paddy have been busy crafting the new Philly sound for the past few years. Mixing a Wilcoesque sound with Elephant 6 sensibilities, the Scranton-bred quartet have quietly snagged the ears of the local music intelligentsia with sweet melodies and tastefully placed jangly guitars.

This latest gig teams them with fellow local up-and-comers Creeping Weeds and Buried Beds, thus demarcating the unofficial starting line for the sprint to be the next Dr. Dog. It’s still anybody’s guess which band will grasp the elusive brass ring, but rest assured, one will prevail. (Joshua Valocchi)
