Philly music insiders remember their favorite moments. 1/1/2008 |
Love in, North Star, Aug. 12, 2002 Doug Wallen: “The late Arthur Lee, fresh out of jail and ready to make up
for lost time, led the reunited California icons Love through a set so fiery and flowery
that even a suffocating crowd wasn’t enough to squelch the pure joy of it.”

Pop-punk band Weston will turn back the clock in Philadelphia : 12/29/2007 |
|
Dave Weston had been planning a quiet New Year's Eve at home in
Brooklyn watching old science-fiction movies. Instead, on Sunday and
Monday, the singer-guitarist and other members of the esteemed Lehigh
Valley-bred punk-pop band that bears his surname will be doing some
time travelling at the North Star Bar in Philadelphia.

The Lemonheads : 12/12/2007 |
Evan Dando is drunk. No. Make that wasted. He ambles on stage,
welcomes us with a slurred “Hello Susquehanna,” and berates a roadie
for putting his guitar strap on the wrong way. After removing it
himself and fixing it twice, it’s the same as it was when he first put
it on. Then, Dippy Dando, alterna-god of yore, locks still flowing and
jaw still jutting, steps up to the microphone and opens with “Goodnight
and Welcome.” Mumbling something about tequila, he proceeds to sing
“Happy Birthday” to no one in particular. This, you could say, is a bad
omen.

of rock and roll. It is rock and roll that informs everything about
the club, from the genuine vibe when you walk in the door, to the ample
sound, to the warm and familiar staff.
