cave canem was a Philadelphia band comprised of former members of Electric Love Muffin. Frank Campbell (drums) and Brian Campbell (Bass) The two joined forces with Kate Heim on lead vocal and Rich Cartes on lead guitar and began playing locally in March ‘91. cave canem formed in the fall of 1990 and have since sought to combine the simple emotion and power of hard rock with a unique melodic quality. Each member contributes their own diverse influences to the band to create cave canem’s powerful moody original sound. Kate and Brian are currently in a reformed Poppy with Craig from Scram.
Poppy was first formed in the early 1990s with members of 2 of 80s Philly punk scenes favorites Electric Love Muffin (Brian Campbell) and Scram! (Craig Heim) with Kate Campbell’s powerful vocals and loud guitar. They returned a few years ago and have been playing all over Philly. They are playing this Wednesday at The Fire with Vakili Band, The Royal Fatback & Rick Fink OMB starting at 6:30. Thanks for the tape Jackie.
They have a new single out on Bandcamp called Brilliant Volume:
