Every Monday, the Showdown tells you who to see and where to see ‘em.
Monday: What’s this? A seated show at The Troc? Must be special. Catch the original cast and band from Azuka Theatre’s spring production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch or you’ll totally regret it. Doors at 6 p.m. Tickets are $25-$75.
Tuesday: Pretty singer-songwriter Rachael Yamagata graces the stage of First Unitarian Church’s sanctuary. She usually sells out her Philly shows, so expect this one to do the same. Get a ticket ahead of time so you can blog about her gorgeous voice and lovely talent to all your friends online. With the Low Anthem. Doors at 8 p.m., tickets are $16.
Wednesday: Pittsburgh natives The Takeover UK play the Khyber, sure to stun showgoers with their boyish good looks/indie pop rock anthems. With Rivers Monroe & Neighbors On the Moon. Doors at 9 p.m., tickets are $8.
Thursday: Melodic swooners and Merge Records signees The Radar Brothers are worth the trek out into the cold. You’re going to like what you hear, I guarantee it. With Roomtone & the Swivel Chairs. At Johnny Brenda’s. Doors at 9 p.m., tickets are $10.
Friday: Fronted by former Sufjan Stevens cheerleader Shara Worden, My Brightest Diamond plays the FUC. Between the string trio and the dreamy soundscapes, you’ll leave in complete awe of opera scholar Worden’s voice. With Clare & The Reasons. Doors are at 8 p.m., tickets are $12.
Saturday: ’90s alt-rock siren Aimee Mann is feelin’ the spirit of holiday cheer with her third annual Christmas show. We can pretty much be sure she’s on Santa’s “nice” list as a result. At the Keswick. With Paul F. Tompkins, Morgan Murphy, Nellie McKay and Grant Lee Phillips. Doors at 8 p.m., tickets are $29.50-$39.50.
Sunday: Looking for a way to keep your Sunday night from turning into a total snore? Skip over to the M Room and rock out to our very own You, Me & T-Rex. With Stereoblaster, Kill You In The Face & The Lopez. Doors are at 8 p.m., tickets are $8.
