Hey y'all! Interested in forming a band but don’t know who to form one with? Come to a mixer this Sunday in West Philly to meet others in the same boat! Can’t make it Sunday? Join this event anyway, which will also act as a message board for finding bandmates and other resources!  

In 2013 we held the first ever First Time’s the Charm concert at PhilaMOCA. It was a resounding success. Sixteen (!) bands played their first ever show and the money raised went to fund the DIY PHL PA Share program, which has been used for close to 250 different events in the Philadelphia community since its inception.
