Live Last Friday: Bringing the Bands Out of the Basement and Into the Bar

Doesn’t live music in a room with others just make a moment like no other?

Bringing Local Bands to The Light

We all know someone in a band. A coworker with a surprisingly solid spotify page. A neighbor who practices in their basement every Thursdays. Live Last Friday is where we want those bands to get a chance to play outside the house show circuit of West Philly—without compromising that vibe. Who knows, your new favorite band’s first gig could be here.

Keeping it Small, But Keeping it Loud

We’re not trying to be a concert venue. This is the type of event where you and coworkers find yourself shuffling in for an end of the week celebration, and it just so happens the live music comes on right at happy hour. Move up to the upper bar for a better view, or stay seated at that booth and let it be your new background, the decisions are all yours.

No Setlist? No Problem.

You don’t have to know the songs to have a good time. And if anything, that’s kind of the point. Indie bands and alt-rock duos or even funk collective take the stage each month to bring something all their own. You might end up dancing, you might end up discovering a new favorite, or you might just catch a weirdly perfect cover of a song you forgot you loved. No bad takeaways here.

Not Just a Show, But a Hang

Live Last Friday kicks off at 5pm, which means it’s easy to slide into after work, grab a drink, and stay for the vibe. No cover, no extra steps—just a monthly excuse to hang out and hear something fresh. Bring your friends, bring your bandmates, bring the group chat. All vibes welcome.
