| Jay Reatard: Black eye most-likely deserved |
| intheredrecord.com |
Monday: The best part about Jay Reatard? His music. In fact, Patrick Rapa sez: "Reatard's catchy lo-fi garage sound is fucking exhilarating." The second best part about Jay Reatard? Press photos, which make more sense when you see video of his live show. With Dark Horse & the Carousels and the Tough Shits, at Johnny Brenda's, doors at 8 p.m., tickets are $12.
Tuesday: Philly (by way of Israel) singer/songwriter Noa Babayof enlists Espers' Greg Weeks as producer and a slew of other locals on her U.S. debut From a Window to a Wall. her voice is a cross between Sandy Denny and Nico, says Shaun Brady. With Thinguma*jigSaw, Sharon Van Etten and Meg Baird, at the First Unitarian Church's Chapel, doors at 8 p.m., tickets are $10.
Wednesday: Know those bands where you listen to them and wish they had thought of a better name? Love as Laughter is one of those bands. Formed from the ashes of Lync, LaL play indie pop with grander ambitions than being cute. With Coyote and Imaad Wasif w/Two Part Beast, at Johnny Brenda's, doors at 8 p.m., tickets are $8-10.
Thursday: With the Summer Organ Series at the Kimmel Center, you finally have a chance to break out all of those "huge organ" jokes you've been thinking about since the damn place opened. Peter Burwasser reports that the programs (last one is next Thursday) will run the gamut from organ esoterica to old, favorite warhorses. God, if I have to hear Fugue on B-A-C-H one more time… Tonight's soloist is the excellently-named Felix Hell. At the Kimmel Center, concert begins at 7 p.m., tickets are $10.
Friday: Proud papas of the queercore movement the Pansy Division celebrate the premiere of Pansy Division: Life in a Gay Rock Band at PIGLFF (BH gave you greedy suckers a preview earlier today). For what PD is calling a "queertastic night of music, film and dance" (is there any better explanation), begin at 7:15 at the Arts Bank Theater then mosey on over to the official after party. Stick around after the set for Sex Dwarf, at the Troc, doors at 9 p.m., tickets are free with a fest pass, $5 with movie ticket stub and $10 on sale now.
Saturday: Mosey on down below the (metaphorical) Mason-Dixon for a night those with 92.5 WXTU programmed into their radio presets. On one bill you get southern pirate Kenny Chesney, the incredibly well-coiffed Keith Urban, well-recovered child star Leann Rimes, and Sammy Hagar. Wait, who let can't-drive-55 Van Hagar in? Lame. At the Lincoln Financial Field, starts at 3:30 p.m., tickets are $30-99.50.
Sunday: LA's Mae Shi finally make a record worth writing home about. Totally weird without coming off as abstract or like a commercial jingle, not to mention catchy as all hell. With the Death Set, at the Barbary, doors at 6:30 p.m., tickets are $10.
