There are so many different places to catch live music in Philadelphia - how do you know where to go? Where is the sound going to be any good? Where will I can get a good view, no matter where I stand? And where the hell should I park?

The Electric Factory (located at 7th and Callowhill) is probably one of the smallest large venues there are. All sorts of bands come through this place, and the tickets are generally pretty inexpensive. But, just like with tires or gin, you get what you pay for. The sound is pretty bad, and there are more crap views than good views. If you’re over 21, you can escape to the bar and get a decent view – but if you’re a girl, be prepared for a lot of asinine comments from brahs in white hats. Parking is fairly easy, mostly in lots. We haven’t been there in ages, and we generally won’t go to a show there unless it’s something we’ll never get to see again. If you have free tickets, and don’t mind shenanigans, go for it. if not, wait til they come around next time.
