If you happen to be stuck in Boston this weekend and not coming to New York for our Knocks showcase at the Delancey, there are options!

Jenny Dee and the Deelinquents are hosting their CD Release party Friday night at TT The Bear's. You might know Jen from her stints in The Downbeat 5 and The Dents. Joining her are Barrence Whitfield and the Monkeyhips, Jordan Valentine & the Sunday Saints (ex- World's Greatest Sinners), Gene Dante & The Future Starlets, Blizzard of 78, and Jed Parish. Eli "Paperboy" Reed and the DJ's of Soul-le-lu-jah spin between sets. This is a night of soul, R&B, and rock that is not to be missed.

Saturday the 6th, Dear Leader performs at Great Scott. Headed by Aaron Perrino, the band continues the anthemic tradition of The Sheila Divine (who Perrino fronted). Also performing are Arletta and The Hush Now.
