Where the Locals Are Going in Philly This NYE
Nice job, Philly! What looked a little scarce with local representation for New Year’s Eve has filled out into a variety of sweet shows that will have folks spread out all over Philly.
Kat Kat Phest, in its fourth and final year, will be auld lang syning away at Everybody Hits with
Creepoid and
The Spirit of the Beehive, two bands that definitely deserve more of that national/international love and attention in 2016.
A Sunny Day in Glasgow, Captured Track’s EZTV, and
Mercury Girls have the indie-pop goodness on lockdown over at Johnny Brenda’s. The dancin’ fools can be found with the
Making Time crew at Union Transfer,
West Philadelphia Orchestra,
Johnny Showcase & The Mystics, and
Ill Doots at Underground Arts, and
LOUDS and
Cheerleader, at Ortlieb’s this year. Unfortunately,
Nothing at Boot & Saddle is sold out, as you should’ve known that it would, but I’m a firm believer that you can get into any show that you really want to. You just need to get crafty. Maybe unlawful sometimes, but it’s all in the name of the rock gods. Hope to see you out and about this NYE! -
