Every Monday, the Showdown tells you who to see and where to see ‘em.
Monday: "Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire." Nothing's more entertaining than a vampire classic from the 1980s, right? Well, 1987, to be exact. Shell out $3 and watch Lost Boys at the Troc. Doors at 6:30 p.m.
Tuesday: All-girl trio Von Iva plan on churching out up-tempo dance anthems, including songs from their recent Girls On Film EP. Put on your dancing shoes and swing by The M Room. With MC Digga, DJ CB34 and the Lopez. Doors are at 8 p.m. Tickets are $8.
Wednesday: California boys Hellogoodbye are having a pre-performance BBQ. Both vegan and meaty friendly, the bash (as long as it doesn't get tootoo frigid) should be tasty. Grab a burger and some chips then stick around for the show. At First Unitarian Church with Ace Enders & a million different people and Never Shout Never. Doors at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15.
Thursday: Folky rock sextet and former Iron and Wine collaborators Calexico play the TLA. With the Acorn. Doors are at 8 p.m. Tickets are $16.
Friday: It's Philly guy Wes "Diplo" Pentz's birthday today, so he's celebrating at the end of the week with a showcase at Starlight Ballroom. Rumor has it'll be a raucous extravaganza with tight jams and Level 5 glam (aka free pizza). With DJ Blaqstarr, Abe Vigoda, Telepathe and Boy 8 Bit. Doors are at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10.
Saturday/Sunday: Kings of Leon embark on a two-night performance at the Electric Factory. Of Course, both nights are sold out. Hopefully you’re one of the lucky ones to catch their set. Of course, there's always The Craig. With We are Scientists & the Whigs. Doors are at 7 p.m. Tickets were $36-39.
Tuesday is your chance to see Von Iva in a tiny club before they break huge after their movie debut with Jim Carrey in "Yes Man" out Dec 19 in which they appear as a band featuring Zooey Deschanel (She & Him). Check the trailer here: http://yesisthenewno.warnerbros.com/
