Some photos from last night's show at Johnny Brenda's In Philadelphia. Opening the night was Philly's own Aderbat whose lead singer and bass player could pass for a young Bob Dylan and Kris Kristofferson respectively. It was my first time seeing them and they played an excellent set of music with a sound that falls somewhere between My Morning Jacket and Wilco. Great stuff, definitely add them to your list of must see Philly Bands. Up next was Brooklyn's Via Audio, who played a high energy set of dance music with a distinctly eighties new wave overtone that the crowd couldn't get enough of. Expect them to rise hot on the heels of fellow Brooklynites MGMT and Yeasayer real soon. Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin closed the evening with their brand jangly guitar pop. After a rousing finale of their song Oceanographer, the boys came back out for an encore joined by the members of Via Audio for a "we didn't practice this but we're going to try it anyway" version of Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box which, despite a few ramshackle moments, really rocked. See the lyric cliff notes they had on stage along with a scan of the setlist below. A great night of music all around.

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin

I'll freely admit I openly ignored Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltin's first album Broom due to the excessive overhype, but I'll sure as hell be going back and checking it out after hearing their new one, Pershing. Glue Girls is the opening track of eleven slices of sugary, jangly, pop songs that make up the new album. This will be a perfect soundtrack for upcoming warm summer days driving around with the top down or just spent hanging on the beach.
