The Cobbs Opening for Clinic & Grooms at JB’s Sept. 17

After going on tour with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Kasabian a few years back, things seemed quite promising for The Cobbs, but then there was silence. Now, it’ rather rare to see the band’s name on a bill, and you can always tell that it’s been a while since a group has made any moves when you need to listen to their music over at MySpace. You’ll more likely see the Cobb brothers manning the boards at Johnny Brenda’s than taking its stage these days. Well, with bands like Clinic and Grooms rolling into town tonight, it makes absolute sense that The Cobbs will be dusting off their sinister hook-laden rock tunes to host these fine touring acts. Come by JB’s this evening because you never know when you’ll get to experience the siblings’ fine songwriting craftsmanship again. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $14, 21+ – H.M.
