Tuesday the 21st.
Spoons For Adam @ The Troc. 9p.m.
Wednesday the 22nd.
The Scenic @ The Troc. 7p.m. CD RELEASE SHOW. Kickoff to the Zach Attack: Friends Forever Tour. This might be the best tour of the summer, just because of the flyer.
What's up with the Troc having the only good shows early this week? Personally, I think the sound there BLOWS. The venue is nothing more than a name and I'm sticking to it. With that said, you can probably catch me at both of these shows. I'll let ya'll know what's going on this Friday and Saturday later on, because by my count, there isn't one good band playing anywhere in this entire city on Thursday...WTF.

ReplyDeleteI was out Thursday night and beg to differ... The Kin, IKE, and Pawnshop Roses played kickass sets at World Cafe. Afterward, Alright Junior rocked out at the Grape.
You don't have to like the music, but to say that those bands aren't good is a fallacy. Especially IKE, who are all extremely accomplished musicians.
Pax.

I find IKE's sound to be extremely dated. It would be great if it were still 1997. The same can be said for Pawnshop Roses. Happy-go-lucky, Verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus tunes are fine to listen to at a bar when you're drunk with your friends, but these bands offer nothing progressive in today's music world. You're right in saying I shouldn't have used the word good, because anyone who can strum a chord on guitar is better than me, and I would consider them good. However; I will say that if you are a serious show-goer, interested in the best that Philly has to offer, you can pass on those bands. I appreciate your input though and glad to see venue-hopping on a Thursday night. It's more than I did.
