The Run Down - Wednesday January 16 ,2008

So many of you were itching to go to the Yeasayer/MGMT show at the Black Cat tonight. As we all know, it's sold out and nothing's going to change it. The good news is they're booking another show in April for the main stage. If that's too far away for ya, they're also playing the Troc in Philly next month. Luckily there are some other kick butt shows tonight in the area also. At the 9:30 Club, Blonde Redhead and School of Seven Bells will definitely put on a good performance for you. In Baltimore, Mary Nova rocks the Ottobar with Sparta Philharmonic, She Keeps Bees, and Sweet Basil. Finally in Philly at the Fire, Toy Soldiers garage rock it with British Lit.

The Run Down - Thursday December 27, 2007

If you're itchin' to get out of the house, show off those new threads, or spend some of that XMAS loot, then there are some dynamite shows to do that tonight. Here in Baltimore a great local band, Mary Nova, rock the Ottobar with Watch Man Walk, The Ghostwrite, and Balk. In DC, Meredith Bragg has a CD release show at the Black Cat with Paul Michel and label mate Danny Hue. Finally in Philly at the Khyber, Chris Fullerton folks it up a bit along with the bare bones rock of Toy Soldiers, Sailboat!, and Engine We're A Forest.
