5/21: Clairy Browne @ Record Club!

OV loves Tuesday nights because we get to end the work day across the street at our beloved El Prado for Record Club. Every week, we play the records of those who have signed up for Record Club and buy you guys beers. This week is no different, except for the fact that we've got Clairy Browne of Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes coming through to kick it and spin the bands U.S. debut album "Baby Caught the Bus" (Vanguard Records).

The new album has been described as a "...a treasure trove for R&B lovers, a ‘60s time capsule, a show and dance ensemble concept that’s been away far too long." Don't believe it? Well, just take a gander at the official video for "Love Letter," and get ready for the best night of the week...Record Club!

5/20: Banned Books In-Store Tonight @ 7pm!

It's a new week, and a time for new beginnings. Why not usher in the positive vibes that this week can offer you by checking out Philly's very own Banned Books when they play for us tonight at 7pm! Don't fight it, dude.

This group of dudes from the city of brotherly love are aficionados in the areas of experimental and noise music and we are stoked to see how this sound translates when they play live. It isn't too common to get an act like Banned Books in the shop, so come and embrace this momentous occasion with us!

Take a listen to one of the most out-there tracks titled "Eating Things That Are The Color Grey" off of their 2012 "Flawless Demo." This is going to be fun!

We're going to be presenting this show along with our neighbors The Echo, and would love nothing more for you to come check out this residency that has been packing the Echo to the brim the past couple of weeks.

5/19: Colleen Green In-Store Tonight @ 7pm!

Colleen Green is awesome. She put out one of our favorite albums of the year and we are so stoked to be having her play in-store tonight at 7pm! Really guys, don't sleep on this opportunity to check out one of the best new garage acts of 2013!

"Colleen Green's first full-length for Hardly Art, Sock it to Me, is grounded in pure pop. Colleen Green's multi-tracked, emotive vocals take an enormous leap forward, evoking all-time heroes such as Rose Melberg and Tina Weymouth, with every drum-machine-tracked song awash in the dreamy slacker romanticism of California. "

Take a listen to "Time In the World" and let that guitar and drum machine paralyze you! We'll see you at 7pm for what should be an awesome night!
