The Thanksgiving Weekend certainly has been bringing home local favorites who’ve been out on the road repping the Philly music scene and doing us proud. The fun-loving Free Energy crew is ready to wrap-up a groundbreaking year by playing a string of shows with Weezer. But before that happens, they’ll be winding down their Foxy & Free Tour with Foxy Shazam, which stops over at the TLA tonight. Joining them on this evening will be openers Nicos Gun who are sure to be right in their element with their infectious beats and stylish first impressions. The band consists of former members from cortez! cortez!! Barney McKenna and Nick Bockrath formerly as well as Andrew Black and Harry Zelnick. The Deli featured cortez! cortez!!’s album 8 for Infinity as our CD of the Month a long while back. Nicos Gun was also a Deli poll winner and was featured in our Artist(s) Who Deserve Your Friendship column. I’m glad to see McKenna and Bockrath are still cranking out infectious tunes. If this show and their recent hallucinogenic zombie video below for “We Are Fluorescent” are any indication, then this might just be a preview of another breakout Philly band to come.
