Concerts:

• Touring Chicago indie-synth-pop band at the Chris White Gallery in the Shipley Lofts, downtown: Wolf in a Spacesuit with Spooky Cheddar, presented by Gable Music Ventures, 8-11pm, FREE. Read full band bio here.  Not a lot of up-and-coming out-of-town bands come through Delaware, and I'm finding that it's usually well worth it to seek out those shows when they do happen.  What I mean is that 99% of shows here are either super local (nothing wrong with that, but you tend to get the same sounds over and over again), or the bands are big enough to already be selling $25+ seats at the Grand or the Queen.  You usually have to go to Philly or Baltimore to catch bands that are from elsewhere in the country, yet not already extremely well-known, so it's nice when those shows do happen here. I'd go, but, coincidentally, I'll be in Chicago that day.
• Katie Dill plays a Mean Lady solo show at Logan House.
• Victoria Spaeth & the Spaeth Cadets at the Queen with Ross Bellenoit (from Philly - has some top-notch musicians in his band) & A Fistful of Sugar. Should be a good show.
