This Evening: Rocktober Beckons
>>> Weird: Monday night, lots of good shows. Could it be? Do you hear THE THUNDER? Are these the opening howls of ROCKTOBER? Holy shit, son, it IS. Well, we know we always tell you this, but you should go and check out South Philly’s The Extraordinaires at the Khyber with a bunch of other bands, most notably the best-named band in Philadelphia, Kill You In The Face. The Ex’s in particular are weird fresh breath of barnyard air (fans of Jonathan Richman, Dr. Dog need apply).
>>> The Black Kids are the lords of blogrock at this moment, and they’re at the First Unitarian Church with The Virgins and Magic Wand, which makes this show more like Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist than Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Oddly, as of this writing, NOT SOLD OUT. (Robert Pollard’s Boston Spaceships at Johnny Brenda’s, however, is.)
