In the Morning, You'll Be Out of Your Heads

We like Ben Kweller (MySpace), and not just because he's from Austin and we love 90% of the music coming out of Austin these days. He's painfully clever and brutally honest in his lyrics, which accompany all kinds of catchy hooks and thumping beats. Plus, he toured with Ben Folds and Ben Lee as The Bens a couple years ago, resulting in one of our favorite Off-Broadway covers ever. He'll be entertaining the masses in advance of the upcoming release of Changing Horses tonight at Johnny Brenda's, along with Australian-based Whitley. It's a late-ish show for the oldheads on the Phillyist staff, but at JB's? We think we can handle it.

Ben Kweller with Whitley
Johnny Brenda's (Girard and Frankford Avenues, Fishtown)
