Step into a time warp this evening at the North Star Bar with Cleveland, OH’s Pere Ubu, who is currently touring in celebration of the band’s 35th anniversary. Considered by some critics and a devoted fanbase as one of the “most original and important” acts in the New Wave movement, the band excels in the live performance setting. They’ll be supported by hometown heroes The Strapping Fieldhands, who have been helping to hold down the Philly indie music scene since the early 90s. Originally creating music simply for their own amusement with no real plans of ever releasing anything, their songs have withstood the test of time as they continue inspire a new generation of fans and musicians. North Star Bar, 2639 Poplar St., 9pm, $15 – $18, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
