Thursday: XPN Local CD Release and More

It's almost the weekend and May has started. It's time to get to some shows.


WXPN is having a little CD release party for its latest XPN Local volume. Doors open at 6 and the music starts at 7. Its an all local show (as you probably figured) featuring great acts from around the Philly region. Most notably, Bucks county natives Illinois and singer-songwriter extraordinaire Peasant are on the bill. This event is free, but you must sign up at XPN to attend.

Elsewhere in Philly, Triggers travel across the state from Pittsburgh to the Manhattan Room and Steve Goldberg & The Arch Enemies are joined by Sleeper Car at The Fire.

Down in DC, The Redwalls share a stage with Baby Teeth and Julie Ocean at DC9, then travel up to Philly for a Friday night show at North Star joined by The New Motels and The Bee Team. Meanwhile, Baby Teeth head to Baltimore to play the Talking Head Friday.
