Following a great start to the week and month, Thursday has a bunch of shows to check out.

After a night in the District, Yeasayer is coming to the First Unitarian tonight for their first Philly show in almost a year. IPod commercial featured artist Chairlift joins them.

Bluegrass meets punk sprinkled with Celtic overtones is probably one of the best ways to describe O'Death. If you have not seen them live, it is well worth the show. The entire band is shirtless and sweaty by the end of the night. Head on over to the Black Cat tonight. Local indie faves Wye Oak (nee Monarch) are also on the bill.

The Troc hosts a stellar line-up with Nada Surf along with Delta Spirit and The Jealous Girlfriends.

Originally a side project, Darker My Love has turned into a full time gig for Andy and Tim of the Distillers and Nerve Agents. You can catch them at Johnny Brenda's in Fishtown with Austin's The Strange Boys and locals Asteroid No. 4.
