OK, so we think that Fishtown Shadfest will be a fun time this weekend with Black Landlord, Spinto Band, West Philadelphia Orchestra, Springs (Dr. Dog’s Scott McMicken and Eric Slick with Julie Slick and Mike Visser), and a Girls Rock Philly showcase, but we’re not very confident that this crazy weather will allow it to happen. Well, the rain date is set for next Saturday April 30. But you will definitely find a chunk of our staff at Kung Fu Necktie tonight with The Extraordinaires, Juston Stens and The Get Real Gang, and Gold Crowns so if you are looking for a great time safely hidden from a pissed-off Mother Nature, then we look forward to seeing you tonight. (Also take a gander at our recent intereview with The Extraordinaires’ Jay Purdy HERE.) Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $10, 21+
