Nothin' brings a smile to the collective 'Stamps maw like new tunes from our up-'n-coming Philly faves. This mid-summer '07 bumper crop features some Walkmen headin' South voo-doo from The Major Leagues, headlining tonight at Millcreek Tavern, as well an unexpectedly straight-ahead hard rocker from our rhythm and soul pals in Shout Magic, whose 10PM set tonight at Philafunk is a cool $5 BYO affair.
And be warned, the gypsies are back in town tonight. Head to Gogol Bordello at The Troc if you must, but don't be surprised if your silverware and grandma's heirloom pendant are gone when you come home. Sticky fingers, them.
Friday night, be sure to soak up all the gemeinschaft vibes in the church basement, as unassuming talent-booker-by-day MC Digga spits the illest German flows this side of the Elbe. Follow that up with a couple of strong-armed party anthems from the sexy South Philly Gang gals (pic'd). If you're not in the mood to do some serious farfegnugen with whoever's standing/sweating next to you by that point, check your pulse.
Saturday, getcher flea on like you know you want to. The Punk Rock Flea Market summer session runs 10AM - 5PM at the StaR5 Ballroom.
Saturday night, the North Star hosts The Teeth, Bishop Allen, and Page France. Insert Plain Parade joke here.
And of course, get wiggy with it all weekend long at WXPN's XPoNential Festival, where varsity locals like Dr. Dog and The A-Sides mix it up with a bevy of visiting acts in remarkably-safe-considering Camden.
