This Saturday, Cold Fronts wil be headlining Johnny Brenda’s for the first time! The band has spent most of this winter working on their major label debut for Warner Bros. Records with Fancy Time Studio’s Kyle “Slick” Johnson so expect some new jams to fill the second floor of JB’s. Cold Fronts will be accompanied by recording studio mates Cruiser and Weekender, who are currently hauling ass back from tour down south. The Philly-heavy lineup of up-and-comers will also be hosting a Deli NYC favorite, Brooklyn-based Cultfever, who will be stopping through on its way down to SXSW. It’s going to be an evening of feel-good tunes so no party poopers allowed. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – H. M. Kauffman
