TONIGHT: The Builders and the Butchers @ Northstar Bar

POSTED: Wednesday, April 13, 2011, 12:00 PM

Alaskan folk rockers by way of Portland, the Builders and the Butchers are playing Philly tonight with Damion Suomi & the Minor Prophets and Katie Barbato of The Sleepwells. Having previously toured with Philly's Man Man, The Builders and The Butchers bring their unplugged-esque sound and very analog dual drummers to the Northstar Bar (27th & Poplar streets) at 7 p.m.

Getting their start as street musicians, they got their start the same way many indie bands probably do ... wondering the streets of Portland and playing outside music venues. That was 2005, and now they're touring their third album, Dead Reckoning.

Check back tomorrow for a review and photos from our music editor, Patrick Rapa.
