This Weekend: Do Not Go Gently Into That Night, My Partytrainsoldier
Friday:
>>> The Lesser Birds of Paradise are this great little band from Chicago, and together with Like Moving Insects and The Future Tips, they make for a great bill that is all about what we like to refer here in the Philebrity Office Park as today’s vibe. Fans of alt-country, mungo, indie and whatever else would do well to stop by and feel this. A Plain Parade show at Tritone, 10pm. $7. Say what? Here’s an mp3!

>>> Or perhaps you are some kind of party train triathlete in need of a speed trial for Making Time the following night. Testify! is back at Silk City, with so much rawfunksoulboogaloo7t’s you might just do the Jerry Lewis.
>>> Meanwhile, Headlong Dance Theater’s “MiXeD TaPe FoR a bAd YeaR” (their goofy caps, not ours) rounds out its run at the Arts Bank, Broad & South, tonight and tomorrow. Tonight at 9pm, tomorrow at 7pm. More info here.
Saturday:
>>> Ohhhhhhh, shit: Making Time 5 Year Anniversary w/ LCD Soundsystem (pictured) at Transit. Jesus wow.
>>> Over at The Fire, there’s the CD release party for Get Outta Philly with like a gagillion bands playing. Among them: Jukebox Zeros, Thee Minks, The Bad News Bats, The Blow Goes and Econocaste. Show starts at 4pm, ends when Jesus comes back to collect all the chain wallets.
>>> Sloan and The Capitol Years at the North Star, anyone?
>>> Also: like five million other things.
Sunday:
>>> The Philly Roller Girls present: Punk Rock Roller Prom at Fast, Cheap & Outta Control at Fluid. Tattoo people and the other tattoo people who love them do the prom thing, with modified happy meals: $4 Lager and Jim Beam. More info here. Phew! That’s a lotta WEEKEND!
