I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Hopefully there will be plenty of time to nap between all of the good stuff coming your way. I'm particularly looking forward to Friday's sold-out Langhorne Slim & the Law at the Casbah. I've been a fan of the band since it was playing tiny shows at the Beauty Bar several years ago, and it pleases me quite a lot that it's finally broken through on alternative radio. If you waited too long and missed out on tickets, fret not, as there are other options Friday, including the Icarus Line at the Void, Kelley Stoltz at Soda Bar, and True Sons of Liberty, aka TSOL, bring their punk stylings to the Shakedown.
