Today is the first day of the famous Virgin Fest at Pimlico Race Track here in Baltimore. Nothing better than a hot August day in a venue with no shade to enjoy Lupe Fiasco, Wilco, Cat Power, Citizen Cope, Duffy, KT Tunstall, Foo Fighters, The Offspring, Jack Johnson, The Swell Season, Gogol Bordello, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, and Chuck Berry and the Silver Beats. If you want to enjoy yourself in a less sweaty, more cozy atmosphere, then perhaps the Metro Gallery will do the trick with Panda Riot, Arms and Sleepers, and Avocado Happy Hour.   Also in Baltimore at 2460 St. Paul it’s Jana Hunter, Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez (CD Release), Strohmeier, and Small Sur (CD Release).  In Virginia is day two of the These United States event at Iota with The Apparitions and our good friends Bellman Barker. In Philly Johnny Brenda’s has Baltimore’s Beach House, Cass McCombs, and Tickley Feather while the Trocadero has Little Brother, Writtenhouse, Hustle Simmons, and DJ Ashkun. Also in Philly are The New Pornographers who take over the Electric Factory with Andrew Bird. Enjoy! Photo by Joshua J. Smelser
