Free Shows in Philly This Saturday: Thomas Function @ Sailor Jerry, Bruce Springsteen @ The Parkway
This Saturday afternoon is a great time to be in Philly.
Thomas Function, whom we told you about in April, is playing a free show outside of the Sailor Jerry store on 13th and Sansom. Without question, they are the BEST band from Alabama. If you are like us and you LOVE bands with punk riffs and pop sensibilities, not to mention shows that tend to upset the locals and cause passers-by to stare in awe, then we highly advise that you attend. Oh, and there will be tons of food and vendors, as the show will be taking place in the heart of the Midtown Village Fall Festival. Dig an mp3 of "Peanut Butter and Paranoia Jam" below. Details on the show:

On the other hand, if you still think nobody beats the Boss and you never stopped believing that rock and roll can save the world, you should probably head down to the free Obama voter-registration rally at The Benjamin Franklin Parkway where Bruce Springsteen will be performing in support of our last great hope. Bring binoculars. Details:
