Another packed Saturday for shows is upon as…are you excited? Lush Farm play the Metro Gallery here in Baltimore. Also in town are Caverns who play the Hexagon with Nighthorse, Solar Powered Sun Destroyer, and Lexanne. Over at the Ottobar The Low Anthem and Langhorne Slim bring their tour to Charm City. Down in DC the Red and the Black keep it going with Gist, Hammer No More The Fingers, The Seldon Plan, and E Joseph and the Phantom Heart while the Rock and Roll Hotel boasts the Starlight Mints, Death By Sexy, and Gringo Star. The highlight of the night comes when the ethereal sounds of Bat For Lashes roll into the 9:30 Club. Other lives open for them. Of course don’t forget the super special/rare appearance of the infamous producer/dj Prince Paul at DC9 who is a guest while DJ NiteKrawler spins as well.
