The Weekend Planner

It is a packed weekend of shows again. Here are some of the highlights:

Friday

80s superstars Crowded House are back. How this works without one of the Finn brothers, I don't know, but I am sure those radio hits you remember will be on the set list. See them at the 9:30 Club in DC.

David Ford is back in town doing an XPN Free at Noon at the World Cafe Philly.

The Kills and Telepathe are doing double duty, hitting Black Cat in DC first, then heading to Philly Saturday at Johnny Brendas.

Elsewhere:
The Acorn @ The Khyber, Philly
Gildon Works/Meowskers/Cheers Elephant @ Millcreek Tavern, Philly

Saturday

British indie darlings sOuth are out touring in support of their new album You Are Here. You can check them out in DC at The Rock and Roll Hotel and hopefully they will get another Philly show soon. They are joined by The Silver State and KI:Theory.

Elsewhere:
Video Hippos/Food For Animals/Apes/The Dance Party @ A DC Warehouse
