The Run Down - Thursday February 14, 2008

Before I run down the list of ridiculously good Philly shows, I must mention a fine Valentine's Day show right here in Baltimore. The Lo-Fi Social Club is dimming the lights and lighting candles for Famous Lovers and the Soundscapes. Find someone and go to that show. If you're in Philly, you can't complain about the shortage of shows for the next couple of days. Today is no different. Johnny Brenda's has A Sunny Day In Glasgow, Remote Islands, and The Offering. North Star has Small Town Fires, Sounds Under Radio, Hey Angel, and The Armchairs. Finally the epic Northern Liberties Winter Music Festival continues at the Fire with a folkish night of These United States, Wes Matthews and the New Way Down, Extraordinaires, Birdie Busch, Hezekiah Jones, Bee Team, and Sister Three. Go. Love. Listen.

The Run Down - Saturday February 2, 2008

There are two shows worth mentioning going on tonight. If you missed A Sunny Day In Glasgow last night at the Lo-Fi, you check them out tonight at the Velvet Lounge in DC along with Screen Vinyl Image, The Offering, and Twin Earth. Also if you missed The Spinto band at the 8x10 on Thursday, you can check them out tonight in Philly at Johnny Brenda's with The Whigs and Plants and Animals. Sweet.
