The Run Down – February 13, 2009

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!

The Run Down – Friday November 7, 2008

Tonight it’s going to be hard to choose which show to see.  At the 8×10 Eureka Birds have their CD Release show (it’s an awesome album!) while NYC’s The Bloodsugars and The Lisps play Metro Gallery.  It’s a tough decision.  Down south in DC The Gutter Twins play the Black Cat while Scott Miller and Vandaveer take on Iota in Arlington, VA.  Up north in Philly there’s a load of great shows to go to.  The Sea and Cake play First Unitarian Church, The Decemberists play the Electric Factory with Loch Lomond,  The Mountain Goats perform at the Fillmore at the TLA with Kaki King, and finally Illinois, Aderbat, and Drink Up Buttercup liven up The Fire.  Enjoy!

Tonight in Baltimore Metro Gallery has an awesome FREE show with Sweden’s Fredrik.  If you had hip hop on your mind, check out Mr. Lif, Mickey Factz, Cubbie Bear, Bad Habit, and DJ Remedy at Bedrock.  Down in DC The Mountain Goats and Kaki King play the 9:30 Club.  Finally there’s a smattering of shows up north in Philly.  The Shackeltons, Arizona, and The Bye Byes play the M Room while Matthew Sweet and The Bridges take down the Trocadero.  There’s an amazing show at the Fire with Fresh Cut Salads, The Bloodsugars, The New Motels, The Neighborhood Choir, and The Lisps while The Shaky Hands and The Chimeras play Johnny Brenda’s.
