THE SHOWDOWN: Knowing when to strip it down and fill it out

POSTED: Monday, March 5, 2012, 1:00 PM

Filed Under: Music The Showdown

Thursday: If in 1957 Jerry Lee Lewis was able to time travel to the year 2012 while harnessing the power of guitar feedback and picking up a little bit of goth edge, he would sound like The Brute Chorus. 8 p.m., $10, The North Star Bar, 2639 Poplar St., 215-787-0488. ➤ With the release of their follow-up album, Room Filled With Light, Fanfarlo (pictured) turned on the electro with bumping beats, driving indie-rock rhythms and subtle guitar and synth effects. 8:30 p.m., $15, Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St., 215-232-2100.
