Every Monday, sometimes really late on a Monday, The Showdown tells you who to see and where to see ’em.

Live Set Disaster

Monday: Orchestral sophistication with the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia. Expect classy numbers by Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Serebrier. With violinist Boris Garlitsky and conductor Roberto Minczuk. At the Perelman Theater, in the Kimmel. Doors at 7:30 p.m., tickets are $24-81.

Tuesday: Fond of beer and Friday night fights? Philly punks Live Set Disaster totally are. Watch them rock the M-Room tonight with the Parkway, Local Demise & Black Anchors. Doors at 8 p.m., tickets are $8.

Wednesday: Rhode Islanders the Low Anthem stop by Johnny Brenda’s to play some indie folk Americana. They’re pretty much the perfect soundtrack for January, so make sure to check them out. With Philly’s Birdie Busch. Doors at 9 p.m., tickets are $10.

Thursday: The Danger Danger Gallery presents Aquarius Raging 2009 with Asthmatic Kitty’s Rafter. In addition to sweet electro-indie beats, plan to be wowed by “The Dark Side of David Silver,” a trippy visual and auditory treat matching Eddie Sids tunes with 90210, Dark Side of the Moon, and the Wizard of Oz. With Sea Sick, Grandchildren, Bear Is Driving, Knotfeeder, the Mexico 1910, Your Freedom Party & Mega Mega. Doors at 7 p.m., tickets are $5-10.

Friday: Lykke Li is sold out, so swing by the Model Home instead. Gods & Queens with Auto Scroll, Snowing & Masato Tanaka. Doors at 8 p.m., tickets are $5.

Saturday: Chill out to Spirit and Dust’s mellow folky set. With Secondhand Musicians, the Beggers & 15 Keys. At the Fire. Doors at 10 p.m., tickets are $7.

Sunday: R5’s Punk Rock Flea Market is back again! Sell, trade, and buy anything from bikes to vinyl to vegan snacks. All proceeds will help R5 do what they do best, so show up and shop. At the Electric Factory. Doors at 10 a.m.-4 p.m., tickets are $3.
