Greetings, unwashed Philadelphians. Short of a midweek rainout, there won’t be a Phillies game to command your undivided attention this Friday; hell, we may even know the victor of this high-stakes wager by then. So, take a break from pondering the complexities of the double switch, hop on the Blue Line and do irreparable auditory damage at Kung Fu Necktie to the soothing sounds of Titan, Serpent Throne, Snake Sustaine (that would be the inimitable Doug Sabolick from A Life Once Lost) and Royal Thunder. That’s an awful lot of RAWK to take down for free. Hit it up while the weather’s still tolerable enough that you want to leave the house.
