Amanda X

Three ladies united by circumstance or, as drummer Tiff Yoon explains, "Kat Bean...came into the warehouse where Cat Park and I lived, and she just never left." Philadelphia-based Amanda X recorded this session with us when the band came to Bethlehem for Ladyfest 2014 in January at St. Bernard’s. The session finds the band playing songs from their album Amnesia which they were preparing to release on iconic Philadelphia label Siltbreeze. Amanda X were no strangers to the Lehigh Valley, having performed at Secret Art Space in past years.

Sports for Kin

"After eight years, you have to kind of get better...even without trying." Sports for Kin may not have followed your typical band path, but they've been an enduring presence in the Lehigh Valley, outlasting many of their mid-00's peers. "The secret to our longevity is just not being able to see each other for eight months at a time," jokes drummer Steve Wilt. The last burst of activity from the band came in 2009 when they composed an original score to the film Metropolis.

In January 2013, Wilt, Kevin Kiernan, and Dan Shively returned to the band with eyes on recording new material. New to the SFK line-up this time around was Mike Martrich. They've since started recording with Mike Fisher at Maniac Studios (now called FLUX = RAD). This session was recorded in September 2013 and saw the band fresh off of one of their first shows in years--at St. Bernard's in Bethlehem.
