The Run Down - Wednesday February 20, 2008

First off, before you go see any live music tonight, be sure to catch the lunar eclipse. Sometimes nature has the best performances. After that head on down to the Ottobar to check out Akrobatik with Snapz, Make Shift Deluxe, and T.M.F.. Akrobatik is a great MC with a flow and mentality similar to KRS One (though still worlds apart) and should provide a great show. If hip hop and Baltimore aren't in your sights, maybe Black Mountain and Bon Iver will do the trick in Philly at Johnny Brenda's. Or if you really want some indie head over to The Fire to see the ever changing sound of Tiger Saw along with Boatload of Madmen, Joshua Park, Anna Vogelzang, and Nu Cultures. First things first though, make sure you look up.
