Editor's note: Even though this is a blog for Wilmington-area residents, I believe the well-rounded Delawarean should spend some time in Philly. The "things to do in Philly this weekend" section of the local entertainment paper is a joke - it's never more than one event, and it's usually something dumb like the Wing Bowl. So I feel impelled to fill in some of the blanks here. I'm not as personally familiar with the Baltimore scene, but I will try to start including some Baltimore events, as well (probably grouped all together in a post such as this one).
Anyway, these are the things that look interesting to me, in the big city just north of us:
Friday:
The Extraordinaires + Juston Stens (ex-Dr. Dog) at Kung Fu Necktie.
2nd Annual Philly Opry with Birdie Busch and Silver Ages (glee super group) at Johnny Brenda's.
Local H at the North Star.
Martha Graham Cracker (drag act) at Art After 5 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Panzer Division at the Trocadero.
Saturday:
Fishtown Shadfest with Black Landlord, Spinto Band, and West Philadelphia Orchestra. (This is a great festival on the Delaware River, with a fantastic line-up). Spinto Band, of course, are a Delaware band. Come to think of it, I should make this a separate post for that alone.
Gene Ween solo show at World Cafe Live (the original one).
Sunday:
Philly Zombie Crawl (on Easter - nice touch).
Sepultura at the Trocadero (again - some booker has a sense of humor).
Monday:
Low at the First Unitarian Church.
Grass Widow + Reading Rainbow at the Danger Danger Gallery.
