Band shows:

Friday:

  • Singer/songwriter showcase at the Film Bros. Co-Op on 2nd & Market, put on by Gable Music Ventures. Featured artists are Gina Degnars (of Little Invisibles, formerly Stygian Veil), Angela Sheik, Leslie Carey, "Butchie from Stackabones", Geoff Giordano, and Chris Bruni.  7-10:30pm, $6.
  • A bevy of young, local bands at the Queen, for fans of young, local bands.
  • Los Campesinos! and Philly critical darlings Reading Rainbow (confession - while I've read a lot about them, I've never heard their name spoken out loud, and I don't know if it's supposed to be pronounced like the kids' tv show, or like... Reading, PA.  I mean, it could conceivably be like Reading, PA, right?  Right?)  at Union Transfer. All ages, 8pm, $18.
  • Joe Lally (bass player from Fugazi) at Kung Fu Necktie.  21+, 8pm, $10.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Saturday:

  • Tric Town November at Mojo Main: Dear Althea with Revolution, I Love You, and more (I'd name them all, but there's some discrepancy on Mojo's calendar and Tric Town's event listing as to which bands constitute the "and more"). But the two I mentioned, alone, should make it a worthwhile show. All ages, 9pm, $6. 
  • Todd Rundgren's Utopia at the Tower Theatre. 8pm, $50+.
  • Ray Davies at Temple U.'s Perfomring Arts Center, with full choir and some Kinks tunes.  8pm.  Ticket info was way too hard to find out, so you're on your own there.
  • Jim Boggia at the Kennett Flash.  8pm, $20.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunday:

  • Enjoy the sound of your neighbor testing out his turkey fryer.  And remember, if your house catches fire this Thanksgiving: stop, drop and roll.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Upcoming:  Next week is a slow-to-nonexistant week for shows and events because of the holiday, but there are some smaller, local things that I'll mention next week.
