It's technically Spring with tons of shows springing up all over town even though we just got a bunch of snow. Here are some possibly awesome shows happening in the next 7 days you may be into. This weekend is jam packed with a lot of exciting shows. Honestly, I have no idea how you're going to choose between all the awesome shows on Saturday 3/24! I still haven't figured out if I can get to more than one of them myself! I'm particularly pumped for Coping Skills, I Think Like Midnight, and RunHideFight this weekend. But next week looks good too.
As always, I only link the Philly area artists (city, suburbs, Jersey, Delaware, or artists originally from here who pass through often ... with moderate liberties). Sometimes if I google a band name and can't find a link that looks right within the first few pages I may also leave it out. Just message me to share your info for next time or comment :) No offense to the other folks on these shows from other towns... Also I probably won't include Sold-Out shows, since you can't go if you don't already have your tix.
As always, msg me at phillymusicpodcast@gmail.com or tweet me @PhillyMusicPod to let me know about upcoming shows that I should include, new songs to listen to, etc.
