Gonerfest 7 starts up tonight at the Hi-Tone Cafe. Yesterday, in part one of this three-part cheat sheet, I looked at some of the local acts. Here, in part two, some of the visiting bands with local ties.
Out-of-Towners With Local Ties
Strapping Fieldhands (Friday, 12:00 A.M., Hi-Tone): This Philadelphia indie-rock band released a great record, Wattle & Daub, for local label Shangri-La Records (now Shangri-La Projects) back in 1996. Another check for the ol’ must-see list.
