Looking for something to do tonight? February boring you? Feel a primal need to fight the snow and the ice bearing down on our fair city? Check out The Bravery (with guests The Switches and Your Vegas) at the Fillmore at the TLA. No less than the Village Voice has proclaimed them 'New York's Next Big Thing' and the venerable Auntie Beeb called them 2005's (okay, we know it's 2008) most promising act. We'll see......

Last Thursday's concert featured three indie-rock bands: The Photo Atlas, The Cinematics and The Bravery With each consecutive band, the music and performance got significantly better. At first I didn't know if we were going to get in since The Photo Atlas' list wasn't in the box office. As I patiently waited, I had to opportunity to meet the Phillyist reader who won the concert giveaway. (She was waiting patiently to pick up her......

Last week we introduced you to Alan Andrews, guitarist and lead singer of Photo Atlas. We learned that the Mac-loving, riot-inducing psychic is from Denver and loves The Beatles.

The Bravery (slated to tour with Depeche Mode this November) is headlining the TLA tonight at 9 p.m. in support of their debut album, The Bravery. (We love self-titled debut albums...their titles are so easy to remember!) Coincidentally, their recent appearance at MTV's Hard Rock Live in Orlando will be broadcast tonight at 8 p.m., so we suppose you could check them out on the MTV before coming down to the show.
