We’re all about the FREE shows this weekend! The summer is winding down so it’s time to take advantage of what little time we have left of it. Sigma Sound Studios is going to be raging this weekend, especially after the disappointing postponement of the Reading Rainbow/Cat Vet/The Homophones show last week. The Making Time crew are bringing their “anything goes” attitude to the space with Snacks featuring Pink Skull, who have their rad new album Psychic Welfare coming out later this month. Our staff seems torn about tomorrow’s WHYY Connections Fest (with local faves Dr. Dog, Toy Soldiers, Kuf Knotz, and Birdie Busch as well as Justin Townes Earle) at The Great Plaza at Penn’s Landing and the 215 Magazine/Vitamin Water Uncapped Live showcase (with Sun Airway and Work Drugs) at Sigma Sound Studios. But we’re hoping that the rock gods will work in our favor, and we’ll be able to make both events. Hope to see everyone out and about!
