Weekend Warrior, August 23 – 25
Get your fest on for a good cause this weekend as Rock to the Future hosts its Rally for Rock! Festival inside Liberty Lands Park, which will feature plenty of ways to benefit the non-profit that provides free music education to underprivileged youth of Philly. There will be a craft fair on hand with Yards Brewing Company serving up frosty brews, Dapper Dog and Vittles Philly providing delectable bites and a raffle for a chance to win a Jimmy Rollins signed baseball, Little Baby’s Ice Cream gift cards, the chance to bowl with headliners The Dead Milkmen, and more. But the main event for this fest is by far the music. Along with a rare free park set from The Dead Milkmen, West Philadelphia Orchestra will be filling the park with their jazz and folked-out Balkan dance grooves. Teachers and students alike will both be featured during the fest as Conversations with Enemies provide a howling good time with their eclectic, story-filled, indie-pop tunes and The Rock to the Future Student House Band performance. The afternoon also features music from Break It Up, You Do You, and Andrew Lipke, as well as an afterparty at North Bowl. Liberty Lands Park, 913 N. 3rd St., 12pm, Free ($60 for V.I.P.

Busses & The Interest Group Hosting Celestial Shores at JB’s Aug. 23
It’s a wish of many to travel back and live in years gone by, namely to relive the music staples of decades past. But when the 21st century offers up bands like The Interest Group, maybe this age isn’t so bad. Sixties-era psychedelics dominate tracks like “The Boys and The Girls” and “Fear.” Breathy vocals and reverberating instrumentals slowly float on dream-like currents of good vibes. The band has made rounds at numerous Philly hot spots, but no word as of yet to when they’ll release their rumored twelve-track LP. However, their increasing live presence bodes well for future endeavors. Another band drawing from bygone eras is the night’s headliner, Busses. Dripping with dirty, morning after glamour, the band’s most recent release, Metal/Shangri-La, dips from jangly, lo-fi rock to slow and sentimental grunge. The group doesn’t shy from experimentation, and they revisit more musical decades than Bill and Ted. Brooklyn natives, Celestial Shore, round out the night’s bill. Self-described “indecisive rock” doesn’t mean songs without direction. While extremely experimental, the music’s constant push-pull battle against itself creates an interesting emotional experience for the listener. Tonight’s show will play like a musical time capsule opened for modern interpretation – all in all an excellent adventure. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., $10, 8pm, 21+ (The Interest Group Photo by Brandi Lukas) – Shaylin O’Connell
