It’s Labor Day weekend, and the weather predictions are lookin’ quite fine so a BBQ is most likely eminent in your future. While you are probably wavering between catching the FREE live performance by Free Energy at The Piazza or making the trek to the Camden Waterfront for Red Bull’s Flugtag competition on Saturday, we’d like to offer you a fun First Friday alternative for this evening that certainly won’t interfere with your plans (well, that is if you don’t tie one on too hard with all the free beer that comes with your measly $5 admission). Our favorite grunge-y dream pop outfit Creepoid will be putting on an intimate concert tonight at Little Berlin. It’s also doubling as a video shoot for the hard-partying crew so dress to impress (not really necessary but you may be immortalized on film or laughed at privately by the band while viewing the footage). They’ll be joined by Black Hawk and Exploding World as well as artwork by Zodiac Down. Little Berlin, 119 W. Montgomery Ave., 7pm, $5, All Ages
