SHOWDOWN: Live music in Philly from April 30-May 6

POSTED: Monday, April 30, 2012, 1:00 PM

Tuesday: Both freaks and geeks, the prog-punk/hardcore band Ruins has been making a name for itself as a terroristic musical assault on eardrums with blistering smash-rock riffs, incoherently high-pitched melodies and screaming for nearly 30 years. 8 p.m., $8, Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 215-291-4919.
