Want to Go to a Concert on the 4th of July, But HATE The Roots and Sheryl Crow?

So, all the local blogs are in a tizzy about The Roots playing the Ben Franklin Parkway as the opening act for Sheryl Crow. If you're anything like me, you're as interested in that as going to see your dying aunt when you were 10 years old that you never liked an always pinched your cheeks.

Thankfully, you're an adult now and you can do what you want!

Well, lucky for you, R5 Productions and DFP Promotions have both taken it upon themselves to throw a big middle finger to the idiots who organize the Sunoco "Welcome America" event and said, "Hey, you know what? We have local acts and national acts that actually are INTERESTING! Maybe they'd like to play in the Cradle of Liberty this weekend?"

The Casualties will be playing with Leftover Crack on July 4th at 2PM!

Yep, now you don't have an excuse NOT to go, save being broke! Plenty of time to go to an awesome show and bash a few skulls, then head down to the Parkway to check out the fireworks... some of which you may set off yourself!

Oh, it gets better! You also have the Hostile City Death Fest at The Arena. Why care about a bunch of Deaht Metal bands you've never heard of? Because DEICIDE will be there! DEICIDE! The masters of death metal! The band Tom Ridge (supposedly!) banned from playing Pennsylvania! The band fronted by madman Glenn Benton! Then you have A.C., a band so terribly un-PC its nothing short of amazing! Then you have local acts who made it big, Total F**cking Destruction and Rumplestiltskin Grinder!

So, you have 2, count 'em, TWO great shows to go to instead of sitting around the house and eating crappy hamburgers like you always do! So get off your butt, run down to the nearest ticket outlet, AND BBUY THESE TICKETS! NOW!!!
