The Run Down - Friday April 4, 2008

Holy crap there's a multitude of events set to happen tonight! In Baltimore you should definitely swing on down to the Talking Head to check out some local favorites, Jason Dove, Caleb Stine, Finn Riggins, and Infinite Honey. If you're in DC you have a tough choice. You can go to the Black Cat to see Les Savy Fav, The Dodos, and The Big Sleep, or the Rock and Roll Hotel for Beach House and Papercuts, or the Velvet Lounge to see HEALTH, The Apes, and Womanhood. You could also head a bit further south to see Enon and The Epochs at IOTA in Virginia. If you're Pennsylvania bound the Millcreek Tavern has a sweet show with The Bee Team, Drink Up Buttercup, The Lisps, and An American Chinese. The Reading Terminal Market has Diplo, The North Star has the Handsome Furs and Violens, and Johnny Brenda's has Aloha, Anthallo, and Ape School. Buuuuuusy night!

The Run Down - Friday February 15, 2008

There's not too many shows today, but the quality of the shows is awesome. First off, if you missed the Black Cat show a while back, you have another chance tonight to catch Yeasayer, MGMT, and the opener Fang Island at Johnny Brenda's. Of course if you don't have tickets, you're out of luck...sold out. Here in Baltimore, The Red Vines are having their CD release party (see our review here of the album) at the Golden West Cafe in Hampden along with Caleb Stine and the Brakemen and Small Sur. That should be pretty sweet. That's it!
