'Cause I'm a Creepoid
How four Philly indie thugs found their sound.
"Indie thug." If all you know of Creepoid is the drifty, echoing folk tones on their Yellow Life Giver 7-inch, the descriptor might strike you as dead wrong.
Arcade Fire
Robyn/Kelis
Mon., Aug. 2, 7:30 p.m., $29.50-$49.50, with Spoon, Mann Center for the Performing Arts, 5201 Parkside Ave., 215-893-1999, manncenter.org.
The Suburbs won't be released until the day after Arcade Fire plays the Mann, but that's not important for two reasons.
Robyn/Kelis
Tue., Aug. 3, 7:30 p.m., $20-$22, with Dan Black and Far East Movement, The Trocadero, 1003 Arch St., 215-336-2000, thetroc.com.
This is truly the dance-diva double bill to beat this summer.
Jewel Schmewel
Jewel's Sweet and Wild
Say this much for Jewel: She doesn't just stick to the sound that made her rich.
Wailin' Jennys
The Black Keys
The Shackeltons
Sun., Aug. 1, 8 p.m., $22-$38, World Café Live, 3025 Walnut St., 215-222-1400, worldcafelive.com.
How the Wailin' Jennys' latest album landed on the Billboard bluegrass
chart is a mystery to anyone who knows what bluegrass sounds like.
The Black Keys
Fri., July 30, 7:30 p.m., $32, with The Morning Benders, Great Plaza at Penn's Landing, Columbus Boulevard and Chestnut Street, delawareriverwaterfrontcorp.com.
The dynamic duo is back with Brothers, a triumphant, swampy burner cut at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio.
The Shackeltons
Thu., July 29, 9 p.m., $8, with The Cringe, Morning Teleportation and This Temper, The Khyber, 56 S. Second St., 215-238-5888, thekhyber.com.
The band is a tight unit, Redding playing a charismatic frontman by dancing, spinning, gesturing and howling.
La Roux
"Bulletproof"
La Roux sure do lead a thrilling, treacherous life. Or so the titles of their singles would have you believe.
