BE THERE: SHOWS TO CATCH TONIGHT

The live music inclined have four pretty decent outing to pick from tonight, and it’s a sure thing that you’ll be able to get to atleast two. Check it:

MAN MAN, The Extraordinaries, Spain Colored Orange @ The Proletariat – Happy Hour
Philly natives Man Man, whose music has been described as “Viking-vaudeville punk-wop rock-and-soul” bring their own particular kind of meyham (particular enough to have landed three of their songs in an episode of Weeds) to the prolo for an early show.

Carribou, Born Ruffians @ The Engine Room
Forget the Press’ dismissive tone, Andora is one of our favorite ’07 releases to date, in fact, we’re so enthralled with it that we’re honestly considering skipping this show so that we aren’t left with a bad taste in our mouths on behalf of the Room’s notoriously un-subtle sound (this is a total headphone album, and we love the little tiny nothings on it that are sure to get lost in the bassyness of the space).

Ryan Adams @ Verizon
You know if you want to see this show or not. Probably the best option if you’re in the contemplatively dreary mood and would rather a banjo than a pick-me-up. Real talk, if there’s a someone special missing from your life, this is the place to try and meet them tonight.

Golden Axe, Satin Hooks @ Boondocks
This is a free show. Allow us to explain the event in precisely one thousand words:


Rusted Shut, iAlarma! @ Rudyards
It will be loud, it will be drunk, it will be destructive, you will not get to sleep on time.
