The Showdown: Now it's either Death or Radio.

Filed Under: Music The Showdown

Every week we say look at these shows.

Monday: North Carolina's Body of John the Baptist make the most of breathy vocals and minimalist psycho-acoustics. Catch their haunting and lovely soundscapes at the Danger Danger Gallery. With Attached Hands, Moon Climb the Wall, Power Animal, Moral Crayfish and the New Thrill Parade. Doors at 8:30 p.m., tickets are $5-10.

Tuesday: Despite their semi-nasal vocals, Philly pop-punk three-piece Goodbye, Etc. is the perfect throwback to your former Warped Tour favorites (the Ataris or MxPx). Forget the pretentions, just rock out and have some fun. At the North Star Bar. With the Cute Lepers, the Percocettes and the Do Its. Doors at 8 p.m., tickets are $8

Wednesday: Philly natives Zolof and the Rock & Roll Destroyer open for the Pink Spiders. Rock 'n roll. At Crocodile Rock. Doors at 6 p.m., tickets are $10 (P.S. Both bands are also playing an all ages show at the Khyber on Friday at 6 p.m., tickets are $10-$12).

Thursday: Need a pre-game to MSTRKRFT? Dance until you drop to Toronto's the New Deal. At TLA. With the Passage Project All & DJ Motion Potion. Doors at 9 p.m., tickets are $19-22

Friday: Baltimore New-Wavers Future Island synth it up for Dan Deacon and his crazy rad ensemble. At First Unitarian. With Teeth Island. Doors at 8 p.m., tickets are $10-12.

Saturday: 'Quality since '93,' Superdrag share their brand of polished indie rock with fans at Johnny Brenda's. With As Tall As Lions. Doors at 6:30 p.m., tickets are $20.

Sunday: Tiny Animals light up the M Room with Kevin James Devine, Backwords and Adam Sullivan. Doors at 8 p.m., tickets are $8.

Be sure to check out The Pink Spiders with Zolof The Rock and Roll Destroyer at either show above.  THEY HAVE BEEN SETTING CITIES ON FIRE across the U.S. on this tour - cool covers, favs from the past, and three new songs from LP4! Epic!  Please don't miss it and be sure to show the boys a good time!
