Hello Shark‘s Linc Halloran has a lot of polarizing opinions about the world around him. His uninhibited thoughts flow out into melodic verses and choruses with a raw, earnest vocal deliver that draws to mind works of indie-rock heroes Pavement. Whether solo or backed by a group of his musician pals, a performance by Halloran is always an engaging experience, and he’ll be kicking things off this evening at West Philly’s All Nite Diner. Hello Shark will also be joined by fellow New England transplants Friendship, who have been touring in support of their latest LP You’re Going to Have To Trust Me. They’ll be hosting Maryland mellow-pop trio Viking Moses and New Hampshire’s Tiger Saw. All Night Diner, (Please contact one of the acts or venue for more info.), 8pm, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman
