Two new Philly music venues, mentioned here previously, start hosting shows this week.

MILKBOY PHILLY

Milkboy Philly has its inaugural show tonight, Saturday the 17th, with a performance by Gang, Hank & Cupcakes (who appeared at Mojo Main earlier this year), and Pink Skull.   The show is 21+, doors at 8/show at 9, and tickets are $8. 

Milkboy Philly (an off-shoot of the original Milkboy Coffee venue in Ardmore) is located right in Center City at 11th & Chestnut.  The cafe opened in August, but today is the first time they're putting the concert venue to the test.   The cafe serves local and organic food, and there is a bar.  You can buy tickets online via Ticketleap (through their website), or at the venue.  http://milkboyphilly.com/

UNION TRANSFER

Union Transfer, a larger venue on 10th & Spring Garden, has their inaugural show this Wednesday with the semi-local Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.  All ages, doors at 8pm, $18-$20.

Tickets for Union Transfer, a warehouse-type venue said to formerly be a farmers' market and a train station, are sold both via TicketFly online (through their website), and at AKA Music on 2nd street in Old City.  It's mostly standing room only, with limited balcony seating.   There's a full bar and snack foods.    The shows they will host will rival both the Trocadero and the TLA.  http://www.utphilly.com/calendar/
