Yes, it’s 4/20, and while you don’t really need a holiday to get us to puff any herbage, it’s nice to know people all around the world are getting blazed too. There is a ton of stuff going on this weekend, but you really should join us this evening at PhilaMOCA when The Deli Presents “Music Madness” with the sweet countrified, bluesy sounds of Levee Drivers, San Francisco’s Dirty Ghosts (Lost Gang Records featuring members from Blackalicious, John Vanderslice, Parchman Farm, etc.), local psych rockers The Peace Creeps, and multi-instrumentalist Barrett Lindgren’s Ghost Light. It’ll be a fine way to spend your hazy holiday. As always, smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em, or just ask one of us for a hit. And of course, visit your favorite local independent record stores tomorrow! Cheers! PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St. 8:30pm, $7 – $10, All Ages – Alexis V.
