The Pittsburgh Scene‘s 2nd Anniversary Party!

400 North Shore Drive, Pittsburgh (North Side)
Saturday 29 September 2012 | 7:00pm (doors 6:30) | $8 in advance, $10 at gate | ALL AGES
The Pittsburgh Scene — the amazingly useful website that documents all parts of the local music scene, with its wide array of genre categories, all-inclusive lists of events, and huge (and ever-growing) catalogue of local bands — just re-launched earlier this year, with a sleek new look and interface. If you haven’t seen it yet, you can check it out in all its ardent splendor here.
But, the website has officially been in existence for two whole years now, and to celebrate, they’re throwing a huge party over on the city’s North Shore! Only eight bucks if you get your tickets in advance (get in touch with any of the bands listed above – or check with Ticketmaster), or just ten dollars at the gate, if you happen to be stumbling across the street from the casino or something…
RPG-metal geeks Dethlehem have been wandering the countryside recently, doing all sorts of publicity appearances in preparation for their first Pittsburgh headlining show in nearly nine months, including the following video from their visit at local radio station 105.9 The X:
