SHOWDOWN: Live music in Philly from June 11-16

Filed Under: Critical Mass The Showdown

Every Monday, Brittany Thomas rounds up the week's sure-bet live shows. This week: Toy Soldiers, Sweatheart, Dan Sartain and more.

TUESDAY: Yes, they’re named after the creature from Gremlins. But don’t confuse Mogwai's lighthearted name and nature with the raw intensity of its heavy, elaborate, distorted instrumentals. When you take that and put it beside guttural yet soft Scottish vocals, you have yourself a beautiful rock ‘n’ roll lullaby. 8:30 p.m., $20, Union Transfer. 1026 Spring Garden St., 215-232-2100.
