Born into a strict Christian reformed background, TV has spent most of his adult life rebelling against societal norms, organized religion, and the French. From humble punk rock beginnings in East Lansing in 1979, where he formed The Meatmen. The group rose to heavy duty heights in the 80's and 90's before cashing in their loons in 1996 to break for a bit. Now on the re-emergence of the Dutch Hercules and his all new band of meat and after 17 years in solitary confinement, Summer 2010 marks the return of the burliest, swarthiest, meanest, most malevolent line up of TVHP ever..the years in the big house have helped these goons hone their craft, playing evil mean spirited punk rock! So hide your virgins, stock up on ear plugs and lock the gun case to prepare to see the real HATE ROCK. The Meatmen are back... HELL YA!
Johnny Brendas:
Headliner: Arc In Round
Opening Act: Tre Orsi / Busses
Doors: 8pm / Show: 9pm
Tickets:$10
This Philly 4-piece band reflect a sonic sensibility from hours of sonic experimentation. The band spins out dark pop thats often taut, spacey and melodic. Humming bass, shuffling drums, glitchy keyboards and dissonant, pedal-treated guitar all melt together into an iridescent sheet of sonorous reduction, and you can still tap your foot to it. Made up of producer/engineer Jeff Zeigler, co-songwriter Mikele Edwards, bassist Ian Fraser and drummer Matt Ricchini who joined up together in 2009. Their live shows bring their layered sound out of the studio and onto the stage for an immersive, crisply executed show.

This Philly based band is playing their hometown tonight to rock out the distinct punk sound that they own. Rob Windfelder -vocals, guitar, Norm Alger -guitar, Kevin Person -bass and Larry The Kid - drums are bringing a show to put out all the staggers and take in their dour bass and doom-ridden lyrics. They are sure to put themselves on the map with these shows. The group is known for their dark and heavy rock'n'roll laced with thick, thick pounding guitars. That sound is fused with enchanting vocal lines that together bring together songs into a new realm of goth tinged punk rock'n'roll. Very atmospheric and very dominant. Their recent release, "Next Time Nail it Shut," is a powerful, catchy, stimulating album.
Susquehanna Bank Center:
Headliner: Camp Rock Presents the Jonas Brothers
Opening Act: Demi Lovato
Doors: 6pm / Show: 7pm
Tickets:$37.25-Lawn; $67.25 - $97.25
Sometime in the city tonight, you will probably be hearing thousands of young girls squealing. When you investigate further, you'll find out that the ear piercing noise is coming from across the river in Camden, New Jersey. You will then come to find that borderline obsessed Jonas Brothers fans have filled the Susquehanna Bank Center draped in Jonas gear, bearing signs and gifts for the massively popular trio. The brothers are in town with their Camp Rock crew to present an entertaining 90-minute performance. Nick and Kevin will be playing guitar, while sunglass-wearing Joe Jonas parades out front, handling most of the lead vocal duty in between schmoozing with the audience, jogging across the stage and generally soaking up attention. Performing with a five-piece band in the shadows behind them, the trio will go through their high-powered pop hits along with songs from the Camp Rock movies.
The Electric Factory:

New York City's ,The Scissor Sisters, is a band born from the town's gay dance clubs. Featuring him-and-her lead vocalists Jake Shears and Ana Matronic, the group is in town tonight poised to play a powerhouse 100-minute set that's bent on releasing all of the band's pent-up energy after a four-year stage and recording hiatus. Their colorful, burlesque-inspired show combines fashion, frantic dance moves and falsetto vocal harmonies. They project a B-52's-like knack for call-and-response party anthems with no room for a slow, mopey number. Aside from their top hits, the Sisters will be performing songs from their newest album, "Night Work." They're sure to pull out songs like the sexually charged "Any Which Way," "She's My Man" and "Whole New Way," just to name a few. As well as put out most of their highly danceable, glam-pop songs just to get the audience dirty enough to titillate without offending.
