Great spot!! I thought spots like this (where an OldHead like myself can chill, enjoy my self and be comfortable) only existed out of town (Martini's in DC, Bell Bottom's in ATL, etc) But Monday's in Silk City is a perfect update on an old school type of flow, great mix of folk and with King Britt at the helm and with the musicians on board as well...I have already arranged a Tuesday off to really come out and get it in....well done Silk City, King (hailing from SW Philly! ...go'on wit' yo' funky bad self), and the entire Back to Basics crew, this needs to be supported and continued...see you in the house...japii - japii , posted 06/30/08 |

Every Monday Night at Silk City Lounge (5th & Spring Gardem) in Philly, Magic happens. With international Dj superstar King Britt, DJ Dozia and the Back to Basics band. (Which includes ?uestlove (the Roots) Chuck Treece (Bad brains) Carlos Izaguirre (Jill Scott) Tim Motzer (Soft Lunch) and guest vocalists such as Lady Alma, Jaguar, Jill Scott, Tanja Dixon, Ursula Rucker, etc. This Party "Back to Basics" started at Silk City in 1990 and was one of the birthplaces for many pioneers of the Philadelphia Hip-Hop, House and Neo-Soul Movements. The Party ended in 1997 and King re-invented the party this past Fall. Every Monday night, This is one of the Best kept secrets of Philly right now and the cover charge is only $6. There is no where else in the city where you can get up close and personal with such top notch talent in an intimate venue. I tend to pop thru there at least twice a month, Come support if you can, Lee Mayjahs? Silk City Lounge 5th & Spring Garden Philly Pa, 19123 - Lee Mayjahs? , posted 05/12/08 |
