Weekday shows and events of note, 6/13-6/16:

Monday:

• At the Queen: 4W5 acoustic jam, and also "Groove Night" - funk and r&b bands from the region.  Both events start at 7pm, on different stages, both happen every Monday night.  That's got to be an interesting clash of cultures in the beer line...

Tuesday:

• Those Darlins (their Daytrotter session: http://www.daytrotter.com/arr/those-darlins/3737841.html ) at Johnny Brenda's, with Natural Child and Tin Horses.  21+, doors at 8, $10-$12.

• Bird Of Maya at Kung Fu Necktie, with Milk Music and Home Blitz.  21+, doors at 7, $8.

• The Wonder Years at the Starlight Ballroom, with Mixtapes, Hostage Calm, and Fireworks. 21+, doors at 6:30, $13-$18.

Wednesday:

• The Smithereens at the Queen Theatre, with John & Brittany (John Faye's latest, with a press  photo that looks like a still from "16 & Pregnant" and belies his 20+ years in local music:  http://www.reverbnation.com/johnbrittany/ . ) Doors at 7, $31-$44.

• Free show Wednesday at Mojo Main: Universal Funk Order, TFMC, Poindexter, Proverbial.  I can't vouch for these bands, but you never know.  Free for 21+, show at 9pm. 

• R. Stevie Moore at Johnny Brenda's, with local stand-outs Creepoid and Far-Out Fangtooth.  [Ed. note: at a show in the south earlier this year, a bemusing boy much younger than myself was chatting me up and asked if I liked R. Stevie Moore.  I indicated that while I'd heard the name, I hadn't heard the music.  Aghast, he said "Well who DO you listen to??"]  21+, doors at 8, $10.

• Kathryn Calder of The New Pornographers, at Philly's World Cafe Live.  Show at 8, $15.

Thursday:

• The Sky Drops (a truly talented band from this state that is usually on tour elsewhere and rarely plays DE) at Mojo Main, with Troubled Hips and Sleepy Vikings.  21+, $5, show starts at 9.

• Prog/avant-garde fans may appreciate Fuzilla, at the North Star Bar ("ambient avant-garde to jazzy groove to funk to latin to agressive progressive rock fusion").  21+, doors at 8, $8.

• Original night at Logan House.  I could tell you who was playing if they kept their events calendar updated.
