The Run Down - Saturday February 23, 2008

There are some great shows today, and you better hustle if you want to catch one of them. Thrushes is playing Space 2640 here in Baltimore from 10am-12pm for a Rocknromp show featuring the author of Alternadad, Neil Pollack. It's all ages (duh). Later on tonight in Baltimore you can catch an amazing show at the Metro Gallery with Telesma, Aligning Minds, and DJ Knowledges. Down in DC Daniel Johnston plays the Black Cat along with Benjy Ferree. Finally up in Philly, you don't want to miss The Sw!ms, The Besties, Cordova, and Castles at the North Star.

The Run Down - Friday December 28, 2007

There are some pretty good concerts tonight in the area. The one that stands out is legendary MC, Rakim, burning Sonar up in Baltimore with lyrics of fury(as the song goes). If your an indie kid looking for rock, then DC is the place tonight. The Velvet Lounge presents The Alphabetical Order, Can Joann, FOX Japan, and Erik Bradford. Continuing the indie rockingness is the Black Cat who hosts Benjy Ferree, The Points, and The Shirks. So go forth into this great night of concertness.
