Daily News | The 5 best of Philly music this week
As summer concert season winds down, musicians are releasing new music, teasing albums due later this year. This week, that includes new music by the longtime guitarist of The Roots, a raucous rocker by Philly’s Ron Gallo, and a taste of new studio recordings by Philly spiritual jazz great Sun Ra Arkestra.The musician behind Hundred Watt Heart is a familiar face, though not known as a frontman.
In a note accompanying “Entitled Man,” Gallo, who moved back to Philly in 2020, Gallo says: “I wrote this song after hearing female friends talk about their experiences with men. Infuriating, creepy, weird s—- they deal with on a regular basis.” The song arrives with a video featuring Gallo’s wife Chiara D’Anzieri on bass, and it takes no prisoners, capturing Gallo in the full-on Iggy Stooge mode, with overdriven guitars as he advises the subject of the song everybody would be better off he’s “keep your words in your mouth, keep your thoughts to yourself.” Gallo plays the World Cafe LiveWhen the Sun Ra Arkestra put out Swirling in 2020, it was the Germantown-based band’s first studio album in 21 years.
