Thursday In The Area

Shows are light this Thursday. Here's what to check out:


It's a CD release party at Johnny Brenda's in Philly for Aderbat. Due out today is We Belong To The Sea, "a missive on longing, memory and the experiential Life". Joining the party are Philly bands East Hundred, finishing on a new album themselves, and Bitter Bitter Weeks. If you miss Aderbat tonight, they will also be releasing at The Factory in Doylestown Friday and down at the Lo-Fi Social Club in Baltimore Saturday.
