Weekend Warrior, December 18 – 20

Total freedom – that’s what I feel when I listen to Spacin’, and that also just happens to be the title of their sophomore LP, which is available on vinyl via Richie Records. It’s freewheelin’, unpretentious rock ‘n’ roll, and it will be comin’ to you live this Saturday at Everybody Hits! The group will be celebrating the release of their highly-anticipated album, and I can’t wait to get my paws on my very own copy. You do not want to miss this, especially since you never know when Spacin’ will be popping up again. It will also be Jeff Zeigler’s first performance under the moniker Valley Exit, with Bethesda, Maryland’s Hothead sandwiched between the two. Everybody Hits, 529 W. Girard Ave., 9pm, All Ages – Alexis V.
