Folks: guaranteed to be the fun-est show we have been associated with for a long time, join your humble servants The Beloved Infidels at Fergie's second floor. Besides this narrator and his cronies, in attendance will be ventriloquist MR. DEAD GUY and his pal Baby Cheez-Wiz and the even more outrageous (if possible) REVEREND T-BAGGS and THE T-BAGGADELICS of The Church of Monsterology. This is not your father's blues! Even better, it's free.

Well, well, well! Here we are, the Memorial Day 2007 show one day late. But The Infidels think that this year the Holiday weekend will be a four-day event. So if you haven't had enough, please join The Beloveds and their very special neighbors HAPPY ACCIDENT and THE GO-AHEADS as they put a cap on the first offical party of the Summer Season. BTW, all bands this evening have one bandmate married to another bandmate. Weird!

Well...it's the Fall and we are still in the studio working on our CD but couldn't resist opening for THE PLIMSOULS ("Hangin' on the Telephone" "Zero Hour" "Hush, Hush" "A Million Miles Away") at the North Star. Legendary singer/songwriter Peter Case is still at the helm of The Plimsouls and this will be a great tour for them. Also on the bill with us are THE PARALLAX PROJECT. Come hear a handful of new TBI songs (two from our soon-to-be-released Free EP), some Infidels favorites and the debut of our NEW SOUND. Sounds exciting! Please bring yourself and don't forget to tell all your friends.

Hey Folks, c'mon out for this major event! Why is it a major event, you ask? One, it's The Beloved Infidels as a duo; two, it's a benefit for Clark Park Music & Arts; three, it's the first concert of the West Philadelphia college scene's Fall 2006 semester. Not in college anymore? Re-visit your youth and re-live the irresponsible days of yore, when drinking on a Thursday was keen. They'll ask for a donation at the door. Give generously.
The 9th Street Italian Market Festival
9th & Washington Streets
South Philadelphia
www.9thstreetitalianmarketfestival.com
Frankie Avalon comes back to open the annual 9th Street Italian Market Festival on Saturday, May 20th, and The Beloved Infidels have been asked to close the two-day South Philly food fantasy the next day, Sunday the 21st. We will be featured on the main stage...a.k.a. the "Sorrento Cheese Stage" (9th & Washington) at 4 PM. We will also try to warm-up the festivities (and shake the sillies out of our fingers) around noon on the local talent stage at 9th and Annin Streets. Either we are really good or they ran out of local talent. Or maybe our by-line "Bella Vista's Power Pop Sensation" is working. YOU be the judge! Anyway, come by for a listen or two, wolf down some delicious Italian chefs' (and grandmothers') specialties and get your Spring Sunday afternoon sunburn like the rest of us.
Rittenhouse Row Festival

Walnut Street will be closed to automotive traffic for the free, public event, which is an all-day celebration of fashion, food, and family fun. All the events will be served up on the length of Walnut Street from Broad Street to 19th Street and historic Rittenhouse Square Park. And this spring festival will occur rain or shine. Hey, wait a minute! That means we'll have to play....rain or shine!!!

We'll be rockin' Old City Tuesday, December 13th at the (in)famous Khyber. Lucky for the working stiffs, we go on first, about 9 PM followed by THE BAMBOO SHOOTS and Minneapolis's MARK MALLMAN, the Guiness Book of World Record's holder for the longest song at 26.2 hours! Don't think he's doing that one that night, though. Join us for some pre-holiday cheer, music and fun with new additions to our repertoire.

Here we go: kicking off what will hopefully be a great Fall/Winter concert tour in our very own back (and front) yard, we are the opening band on October 26th at the Grape's Wednesday night Showcase. We are not sure of the other bands, but there are usually good acts at the Grape. Tell them we sent you. The best sound in town, and...it's Jackie (our frontperson's) birthday. Old and new friends come and freak Jackie out by singing her Happy Birthday!
