Randy Randall of No Age at the Black Cat

On most nights, upon walking through the double doors on the Black Cat’s second floor, it’s immediately obvious what type of show is going on, judging only by the sort of people who show up. Punk rockers. Hip-hop heads. Indie rockers. Electro kids. Had you walked into the Black Cat on Wednesday night, however, you might have thought that there were four shows going on all at once. That’s because Diplo‘s Mad Descent tour was rolling through town, bringing with it L.A. punk darlings No Age and Abe Vigoda, Brooklyn tribal experimentalists Telepathe, London electro act Boy 8 Bit and of course, the man himself, legendary Philly DJ Diplo.
