Weekend Warrior, November 30 – December 2

PhilaMOCA is hosting a rad eclectic lineup this Sunday that you don’t want to miss. Deli NYC fave Delicate Steve (a.k.a. Steve Marion) will be headlining the evening so come out and watch him tear up the pop music rulebook. He’ll be supported by three local acts that will be a good representation of the talent and diversity you’ll find in Philly’s music community. Arc in Round are back from their most recent Left Coast tour with Frightened Rabbit to fill the room with their rhythmic blasts and swirling synths and guitar, while Banned Books assault you with their barrage of avant-pop tunes. And opening the festivities will be the mesmerizingly beautiful folk of Megan Biscieglia’s Bad Braids (whom I’ve been absolutely smittened with as of late). PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 7pm, $10, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman
