The Weekly Soundup

8/25 A Place To Bury Strangers will be playing Rittenhouse Square Park tonight with Philadelphia’s own Drink Up Buttercup.

7/20 Tonight the good folks at R5 Productions and WKDU have another rad lineup at Johnny Brenda’s. Deer Tick and Wye Oak will be teaming up to present a night of honest-to-goodness sentimental rock n’ roll. Don’t get me wrong, I like Deer Tick, and I always enjoy John...
