Now Here This - Week of June 18, 2012

The good news is that there are a ton of great shows this week. The bad news is that the majority of them are sold out.

Wednesday, June 20
Foster The People @ Congress Theater
SOLD OUT 7pm
Opening: Tokyo Police Club, Kimbra

With three great acts, there is little surprise that this one is sold out. We promise to give you enough notice to catch all three next time through.

 

Thursday, June 21
Foster The People @ Congress Theater
SOLD OUT 7pm
Opening: Tokyo Police Club, Kimbra

 

 

Japandroids @ Lincoln Hall
SOLD OUT 9pm
Opening: Cadence Weapon

We'd love to remind you how much we enjoyed the new Cadence Weapon album, but that would just be rubbing salt in the wound.

 

Friday, June 22
Motion City Soundtrack @ Lincoln Hall
SOLD OUT 7pm
Opening: The Henry Clay People, The Front Bottoms

Fresh off their excellent summer album, Go, Minneapolis-based pop-punk outfit, Motion City Soundtrack land at our favorite venue. Sadly, you need a time machine to get tickets.

Keane @ The Vic
SOLD OUT 8pm

In keeping with this week's theme of cool shows you cannot attend... Maybe you can go to Philly's Best and hear some muffled Keane as you walk by.

 

Saturday, June 23
Crocodiles @ Reggie's Music Joint
$12 9pm
Opening: Devin, Slushy

Finally, a shows you can still grab tickets for... for now, at least. We recommend grabbing tickets to see the shaggy San Diego rock of Crocodiles and the throwback rock n roll charm of Devin immediately. Both acts are fresh off great albums, and really should be playing a much larger venue.

Looking ahead to next week
