THE SHOWDOWN: Live music in Philly from May 21-27

POSTED: Monday, May 21, 2012, 5:01 PM

Filed Under: Music The Showdown

Every Monday, Brittany Thomas rounds up the week's sure-bet live shows. This week: Black Dice, DJ EBG iii and Madison Violet.

Monday: East Londoners Crystal Fighters are a Basque folk gone electro-rock band, and co-headliners Is Tropical has a bit more of a lo-fi thing going. But both groups get heavy at times, still maintaining an equally smooth, intoxicating vibe that will surely make for an unusually lively Monday night dance party. 8:30 p.m., $12, Union Transfer, 1024 Spring Garden St., 215-232-2100.
