The winter doldrums might be cold and miserable. But fortunately Danger Danger Gallery is ready to warm up your party life this Saturday with a show of MEGA proportions! On tap will be a 2 floor showcase that features 8 bands, including Baltimore’s Rhymes and Operas and We Used to be Family. Leading the charge upstairs will be the vibrant and quirky muses of Arrah and the Ferns. They’ll be joined by melodic minimalists and old souls the Circadian Rhythms, who will be likely doing a live unveiling of some new tracks from their upcoming EP that you can check out here. Also on on the lineup will be the bizarre humor of electro pop outfit Toddler Cat and Brooklyn’s indie vaudevillian act The Lisps. Headlining downstairs will be Ryat, who most recently won the Open Submissions portion of our Best of Philly Emerging Artists Poll by the jury of Deli editors and has really come into her own since teaming up with Tim Conley and releasing Avant Gold. Joining her and the Bmore bands downstairs will be alt-indie locals The Daylight Savings and Loan, who recently released their seven-song EP, Believe. But don’t forget to swing by next door at Younglove’s where they’ll be hosting Your Children is Beautiful, who was our recent Featured Artist(s) of Month and have been hard at work on recording a new album and touring. Look’s like shit’s going down on Baltimore Ave. this Saturday night! Danger Danger Gallery, 5013 Baltimore Ave., 9pm, $5 – $10 donation, All Ages; Younglove’s, 5011 Baltimore Ave., 7pm, $5 donation, All Ages
