Legendary rhythm and blues king Chuck Berry is making a rare east coast appearance at BB King's Blues Club in New York City, June 25th. Berry still performs one show a month in his hometown of St. Louis, so he has been keeping his chops up, but at 83, he doesn't go out on the road very often. Berry is on a short list of still living legends that can lay claim to inspiring the Beatles--influencing the most influential band in history, c'mon now, you can't mess with that. His regular performances in St. Louis sell out on a consistent basis, and quickly, so if you are interested in this, scoop up a seat fast.

On the Philadelphia side of things, LA hardcore punks The Bronx have announced that they will play a show at the North Star Bar. The last time these fine folks came through town they played a rainy weeknight in the basement of the First Unitarian Church. Something tells me, the North Star is going to be a better venue and is going to attract a bigger (and drunker) crowd for them. Don't let the Bronx down Philly! They are a pretty disorganized organization, so when the Bronx do get it together for an east coast headlining tour, they need to have some love and appreciation directed their way. Maybe we can convince them to come back more often. Their mariachi side project, cleverly called Mariachi El Bronx, is opening. They have some killer costumes and an authentic mariachi album under their belts, so check it out. Oh yeah, and they have a cologne, I shit you not, called Barrio Sweat. If that isn't sexy, I don't know what is. Saturday, April 3rd at the North Star, 27th and Poplar. 21+

Send more Chuck Berry!
I'm sure that not one of you are going to come back in to see the Pink Floyd.
