FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

For the record : The Local Scene

When you first came to Philly for school, you were told about things like the rich history and culture of the city...but what about the local music scene? Home to countless bands and performers, Philly's local scene is a great resource for you to check out for the new latest music.

As a advocate of the local music scene, I strongly recommend you take a look at some of the many options of new music that's waiting to be discovered. Whether you're in the mood for smooth funk or indie rock, hip-hop or heavy metal, there's bound to be at least one band that you'll love.

Now, I know what you're thinking—'Where exactly do I start?' Good question. How about right here? Campus Philly is dedicated to helping you make the most of your time here in the city—and that includes introducing you to some of the many talented musicians this city has to offer you.

Keep checking the website and while you're at it, make sure you stop by the local stage at the Campus Philly Kick-Off, which takes place September 29, 2007 on the Parkway.

You'll thank us later.
