Yikes – below freezing temperatures and harsh winds this Saturday! You might think that those are good reasons not to leave the comfort of your home. Unless, you were smart enough to snag tickets for Modern Baseball’s intimate, sold-out performance at PhilaMOCA tomorrow night. While the stages of larger venues like Union Transfer and the E Factory have been more commonplace for the beloved quartet these days, you have to know that they’ll be plenty amped to share brotherly shoves and lead full-room sing-alongs with friends and fans. It’s a locals-only evening with the blistering haze of The Spirit and the Beehive and the warm pop melodies of Three Man Cannon. Totally a good reason to brave the elements (and Valentine’s Day weekend)! PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 8pm, Sold Out, All Ages – Alexis V.
