Every body’s day of unluck has arrived full of black cats, shattered mirrors, and sidewalks full of ladders to walk under. How about avoiding all that crap and go to some shows? There’s a ton! First here in Baltimore the Metro Gallery has The Snowmen, Cortez Cortez, and Inflatable Hair (1/2 of Impossible Hair) while the Zodiac gets everyone ready for Valentine’s Day with Beach House, The Creepers, and Dodgers. If you want something with a bit more bounce head over to Sonar to see Talib Kweli, Jean Grae, DJ P-Funk, and Busy Bee. If you want to do some good, how about heading over to the Senator for the Save The Senator benefit show featuring Wye Oak, Jana Hunter, The John Hardy Boys, US Royalty, Payola Reserve, and more. Also down in Annapolis The Whiskey has Baltimore’s Telesma. Down in DC there’s Imperial China and New Rock Church Of Fire at the Rock and Roll Hotel while Jason Mraz and Ben Folds play the Smith Center. Up north in Philly the Northern Liberties Festival continues at the Fire with Drink Up Buttercup (awesome), Orbit To Leslie (also awesome), The Lisps (super awesome), Jotto (pretty rad), Hezekiah Jones (so awesome even my mom likes ‘em), and Spinning Leaves (also pretty friggin rad). That’s an awesomely rad show! Good luck!
