Hip Hop, Love, & Fire.?

                             Weekly Spotlight: The Fire @ 412 West Girard Avenue.

Season's Greetings Questers.! In the spirit of the new hip hop album "love & rockets vol. 1", I had the opportunity to check out MURS (Living Legends, Roxy Renolyds fame) an excellent emcee by the way at The Fire, right in the heart of "Old Kesington " hovering across Northern Liberties. Small venues are always dope for great music acts( Rule of Thumb!) . Although I missed the bulk of the performance, shotout to Reg Stag, I enjoyed my time. The Fire brings a cool, grungy feeling, typically not known for hiphop rather indie punk & rock bands but easily able to transition as the sounds BuMp. The stage and bar are completely separated allowing show goers and bar goers to have their respective space with small outside seating available as well, (good for day-time chillin' or late nite illin') While The Fire surely does not rank as one of the largest venues around the town, its small neighborhood-ish bar feel is what makes this place unique.
