OK, so we already established in our interview with Slutever (below) where you might find us tonight. But we love FREE shows! Add in some fine beers and delicious food then we’ll see you for lunch and possibly dinner at Dock Street Brewery Co. Tomorrow afternoon starting at 2pm the Chernobyl Arts Collective, who has spawned music acts like Da Comrade! and On the Water, will be celebrating the release of their debut zine Bam-Pow. To commemorate this special occasion the West Philly crew will be taking over their favorite watering hole for an afternoon of music, art, pizza, and beer. Not only will Da Comrade! be rocking the foundation of the establishment, members Fletcher VanVliet and Adam Ferguson will be showcasing their artwork. Leading the charge will be Mose Giganticus, who recently came off tour hiatus with an assault on South By Southwest in support of Gift Horse. Also performing will be booze n’ blues rock troubadours TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb, who were also joining in the festivities at SXSW. Rounding out this FREE action-packed day of music will be New York’s No One and the Sombodies. Dock Street Brewery Co., 701 S. 50th St., 2pm – 7pm, FREE, All Ages
