The Showdown: A Thousand Cherry Tulips

POSTED: Monday, April 20, 2009, 10:04 PM

The weekly what's-what.

Monday: Philly natives Agent Moosehead serve up a set of jams that sort of sound like a sophisticated, jazzy remix of Super Mario Bros. At the World Live Caf' Downstairs. With Bodega, The Last Emperor, Cheers Elephant, Si Senorita, Wineskin and Andy of the Future. Doors at 7:30 p.m., tickets are $15.

Tuesday: Badass rock from the Left Coast, The Bronx heats things up in the basement at First Unitarian. With Aneurysm Rats, Dirty Tactics & Sinatrah. Doors at 8 p.m., tickets are $12.

Wednesday: Super fun indie pop at Kung Fu Necktie. Catch the Headlights live before your friends do, but try not to swoon too much during their set. (And check the video above.) With Love Language & Robes. Doors at 8 p.m., tickets are $10.

Thursday: Psychedelic new wave, straight from Canada. Montreal outfit Black Feelings headline Danger Danger with a bunch of other bands. With Myles Brosco, Boom Snake, the Invisible Hand & My Mind. Doors at 8:30 p.m., tickets are $5-10.

Friday: Chris Conley's still emo. Trek out to Allentown and cheer him up so he won't cry while he's at Crocodile Rock. Saves the Day with Alkaline Trio & Death In the Park. Doors at 6:30 p.m., tickets are $19-22.

Saturday: Happy songs for happy people compliments of Mogwai. At the Troc. With Twilight Sad. Doors at 8 p.m., tickets are $20-22.
