So has it been a while since you’ve seen The Swimmers? You remember them from back in the day when The Fire was their stomping grounds. You were around for the multiple times they released Fighting Trees so you know what they’re about. Right? Well, People Are Soft will surely change what you thought that you knew about The Swimmers. Yes, their pop catchiness will still get them on XPN, but along the way they’ve decided to take a journey through their 80’s new wave collection creating some infectious tunes that will get your eye-glass wearing head bobbing uncontrollably with nostalgic approval. They’ll be sharing the stage tonight with fellow XPN friendly rockers East Hundred. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ (Photo by Dawn Walsh) – H.M. Kauffman
