Wednesday Rocks At The Empty Glass
The Nanker Phelge, who made their big debut on Radio Free Charleston 100 back in May, have been briinging their melodious and harmonious powerful pop to The Empty Glass every Wednesday in August. You have one more chance to catch Stephen and Mark Beckner, Casi Null and Dave Roberts, next Wednesday night, around 10:30 PM. At the right, you Stephen Beckner taking the photo you see below, and after the jump, you’ll see even more photos of the band, and of the Beckner Brother’s former Go Van Gogh cohort Johnny Rock, who joined the PopCulteer for last Wednesday’s show. In addition, you’ll get to see video of the band from last Wednesday and then check out our big monthly ArtWalk photo essay and a message about Zombie Babies.

Please Help The Babies….The Zombie Babies
Eamon Hardiman has wrapped principal photography on his latest epic, Zombie Babies, but there is still post-production to be done, and you can help finish this film by pre-ordering a copy on DVD, or kick in a little extra for special bonus incentives, including a Zombie Baby you can call your own. Details are at the Indie-A-Gogo website, or just follow the widget below.
That’s it for this week’s PopCulteer. Check this blog every day next week, because we have no idea what kind of cool stuff we’ll dump right here!
Thanks for the great pics and reporting! All the art is beautiful, the music is fantastic!
