For the next couple of days this website will not be updated. We have a lot of stories and articles ready for you (Cruefest tour dates, Alice Cooper, and Bret Michaels to name a few), but there is something more important we want you to know about. The website will be back up and running Saturday afternoon with hourly updates.

What the hell are you going to do with your Friday night in the tristate area? Let the BnR weekend planner help you out.

Friday night there is an excellent, back to basics, rock n' roll show happening at the El Bar in Philadelphia. The El Bar is a captivating place with a great clientèle and it is centrally located under the "El" for maximum ambiance.

The Dirty Pearls from New York City will invade Philadelphia this weekend. It is time to show the band how a true rock n roll city parties. None of this polite mumbo jumbo they are used to up in NYC. It is time for hardcore, blue collar workers, who enjoy rock music and drinking to show up and rock out with the band.

The show starts at 9 so arrive early and drink up. Other bands on the bill are Whiskey Livin' and Clashing Plaid. Visit The El Bar or The Dirty Pearls for more information.

Now let's talk about Saturday. What the hell are you going to do now that you are hungover from the show on Friday night? What is a good cure for a hangover? According to Zakk Wylde, guiarist for Ozzy Osbourne and known drinker, it is acoustic music. This is perfect because the Dirty Pearls are doing an acoustic show in the Christiana Mall at the FYE store on Saturday. This performance is at 1:00 pm.
