Retro pop janglers Literature will be gracing The Boot & Saddle stage tonight for a free show opening for Brooklyn-based San Fermin. One of the most high-energy bands I’ve ever seen, Literature impressed all at The Deli Philly’s 5th Anniversary Bash this year. Coming off the repressing of their 2012 album Arab Spring, they are sure to deliver their signature clatter of catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics so distorted you’ll spend the whole night trying to figure out what they said (and if they are doing it with British accents), but you’ll love them anyways. Also playing are the indie-brooders Panic Years, showcasing their brand of 90’s reminiscent smart-pop. This evening’s bill is the perfect chance to check out The Boot & Saddle if you haven’t yet as they roll out their first batch of free shows. The Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 9pm, Free, 21+ – Maggie Grabmeier
