While we generally stay in the Philly area, we do enjoy discovering and giving exposure to other Pennsylvania bands who come perform to our great music city and don’t happen to have a Deli branch in their town. After all, we might have missed out on interesting acts like Soars (Lehigh Valley), Strand of Oaks (Wilkes-Barre, at the time, but he might have made it to Mount Airy by then – you know how everyone stopped updating their MySpace, and he hadn’t made a Facebook or Bandcamp page yet), and all the fine Bucks County groups. Well, indie pop-rockers Edelweiss are from Stroudsburg, PA, and they’ll be headlining an all ages show tonight at The Fire. The quartet will be releasing its debut EP Pre-Columbians, which was produced by Jeremy Sklarsky (Freelance Whales, Teenage Fanclub, The Morning Benders), on September 13. Edelweiss delivers a delightfully smooth sound with multitudes of textures and a captivatingly casual play between bass and guitar. And they are still in high school so you (older Deli readers) may not want to go backstage with them to avoid any run-ins with the law. The Fire, 412 W. Girard Ave., 7pm, $10, All Ages – Brandi Lukas
