We have a couple of shows that we are presenting this weekend, and you should definitely come join us. It will be bittersweet tonight, but we wanted to see The Armchairs off with a bang! Come to Johnny Brenda’s this evening because it will be the LAST TIME you’ll get to experience them performing live! (Well, we are still hoping for a reunion someday, but we’ll all probably a little older, fatter and balder so it will be the last time we’ll see them perform looking as pretty as we do. You can also check out our first and last interview with the individual members of The Armchairs HERE.) They’ll be joined by musically talented buddies Orbit to Leslie, The Circadian Rhythms and Dinosaur Feathers to make sure that they get a proper send off. We’ll also be teaming up with the Rock to the Future crew and Cloud Entertainment to provide some hope for the future of our beloved Philly music scene. Please join us at Circle of Hope for another Rock to the Future Benefit Show this Saturday with K Record’s Jason Anderson, Dead Milkmen’s Joe Jack Talcum, When I Was 12, Ghost/Light and Boy with Robot. They’ll also be raffling off some nice prizes like a R5 10 Show Pass, brunch for 2 at the Four Seasons, and much, much more. We hope to see you at one or both of these events this weekend! Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+; Circle of Hope, 1125 S. Broad St., 5pm, $6, All Ages
