[Culture] Re: [UC] Philly's hottest musical act

[Pete Coyle]

I would have to go with Cobraman, and the Philadelphia Cash Masters. Check out www.cobraman.biz. The CD is called Rock Attack, but I don't think it's available yet. His live performance is one of the most exciting things I've seen in Philly in ten years. He just got a good write up in the Boston Globe, and you'll definitely hear more from him. The lyrics are sophomoric, but the band is incredibly tight, and funky. He used to go under the moniker Jimmy Luxury, and work with some of the guys from the Goats.

His live show will rock your fugging socks off, and he's non-union.

I realize this should move over to the culture list.

I have a question in which I'd value the collective sophistication and taste of my community. Who, in your opinion, is (or are) the top (or most interesting) musical act based in the Philadelphia area? Who would you brag about or show off to an out-of-town foreign music lover?
 
They could be working in any genre -- rock, pop, classical, jazz, anything. They could be world famous, or totally obscure but deserving of a cult following by those in the know.
 
The only conditions are that they have to have an active career NOW. So Eugene Ormandy and John Coltrane and the Hooters and the Dead Milkmen are out of the running. Also, they should have a CD available.
