dada
Fri., Dec. 31, 9 p.m., $40-$45, with The Energy, North Star Bar, 2639 Poplar St., 215-787-0488, northstarbar.com.
Published: Dec 29, 2010
[ rock/pop ]
You might know them only for their darkly melodic 1992 single "Dizz Knee Land," but dada have been reunited and power-popping it up for a few years now. Their New Year's gig at the North Star promises to be a multi-hour spectacle, including an all-Beatles set, some new songs that'll turn up on dada's forthcoming album (their first since 2004), and a "bootleg" of the evening's proceedings you can take home with you. Talk about seeing the past, present and future all at once.
Fri., Dec. 31, 9 p.m., $40-$45, with The Energy, North Star Bar, 2639 Poplar St., 215-787-0488, northstarbar.com.
