As the week goes on, the shows keep getting better and better. If you’re in Philly you might have a tough decision on what show to attend. It will probably come down to what mood you’re in. If you missed Wu-Tang in Baltimore last night, you can check them out tonight at the Trocadero. Or if you fancy indie pop rock, there’s the dynamite line-up of New Motels, Long Walk Home, The Bye Byes, and Swivel Chairs at the Khyber. Or perhaps you crave the alt-blues-folk-rock genre. In that case head on down to the Ottobar in Baltimore to check out the MacGregor Burns Band playing with Mason Dixon and Good Guise.
