Friday
We haven't heard much from Shudder to Think in a very long time, since they have not released anything since the late '90s. They recently regrouped to perform at Virgin Fest and stick around for a more substantial tour. Maybe another album is in the works. Friday night, Philly act Pattern is Movement joins the reunion at the TLA.
The Slip is at the World Cafe in Philly. It's been a while since new material has come out from them, maybe we will hear some at this show.
Chicago folk-rocker Andrew Bird is at the Zoellner Arts Center at Lehigh University.

Saturday
Alt-country superstars Old 97s are playing in Lancaster at the Chameleon.
Singer-songwriters Matt Nathanson and Jessie Baylin are on tour together and are making a stop at the TLA in Philly.
Sunday
It's a little chilly for the beach, but the shows in Atlantic City will keep you coming back. The House of Blues is hosting Death Cab for Cutie and St. Vincent.
Mason Jennings finishes off the weekend at the TLA.
Electro-pop buzz band Hot Chip is at the Troc in Philly with Growing.
