We absolutely love when the music community bans together for a good cause, especially when they are band that can rock the fuck out! Tonight, you’ll find Purling Hiss, Dark Blue, and Spacin’ doing just that at Johnny Brenda’s. They’ll be taking the stage to benefit the Fishtown Playschool, a neighborhood parent-organized, parent-led, structured playgroup for children ages 2.5 to Pre-K. Let’s face it, aging Fishtown rockers – you’ll probably be part of the playgroup soon enough so come donate! 😉 Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 8pm, $12, 21+ – Alexis V.
