Want to see Lambchop?
The band. Not the puppet. They’ll be playing Warsaw (in Brooklyn, not Poland) on June 16th. $25. Buy tickets here. It will be part of the Northside (not Southside) Festival. Clear? Good.
Larabee — Expose a Little Wire
There’s something a-brewin’ in Philly, and I rather like it. The Sparklers and The Miners (my two new favorite bands since starting this blog, incidentally) are shining examples of alt-country revival. Add Larabee to the list. The only critique I…
