People don't always love going to shows in the summertime, since there is so much happening outdoors. If you have ever fallen victim to the gnarly combination of too many beers and the hot sun, conversely, you should really think about maintaining your indoor-concert-viewing habit. Seriously, nothing beats sitting in the AC hearing all the great music that our fair city has to offer. Here is a preview of the good this week (June 22-28):

Tuesday

Ben Arnold w/ Reed Kendall @ Grape Room - 9 pm, FREE
*Ben Arnold (not to be confused with Benedict Arnold V, Revolutionary War traitor) whiskey twinged verbal tug of the ole' heartstrings sure feels right, especially in these post-prolific Ryan Adams times we are (sadly) living in. But don't take our word for it, One Fan at a Time

The Spotted Atrocious, Neutral Uke Hotel, Ukulele Orchestra, Solved with Science @ The Khyber - 8 pm, $8
*The Spotted Atrocious are pop-rock that is not embarrassing to admit you enjoy, not unlike Solved with Science (who kinda sound the Strokes and Interpol made a delicious gumbo together). The rest of the acts? UKULELES!

Wednesday

Pentagram w/ Howl, Snake Sustaine & Jail @ Blockley - 8 pm, $15
*Even if you aren't into baby-blood-drinkin' and metal, it's probably fun to pretend and wear that old 45 Grave sleeveless T-shirt you still are holding onto.

Thursday

Sun Airway, :ravens:and:vultures:, Eat Your Birthday Cake @ Johnny Brenda's - 9 pm, $10
*If Spin Magazine did not have its head up its ass, and cared less about hairstyles and ties and more about good music, these fabulous indie bands would be in a spread together about whimsical music that washes over you like salt water on a humid day at the beach.

Wakey! Wakey! w/ The Spring Standards & Onufrak @ North Star Bar - 8 pm, $10
*NME magazine and NPR collectively love all of these acts, why are you so behind, man?

Friday

Buried Beds Record Release Party, BC Camplight, Scott McMicken (solo) @ Johnny Brenda's - 9 pm, $10
*So good, so, so good. Eliza Jones is Philly's own Jenny Lewis.

The Mumbles co-bill w/ Jason Ager @ Tin Angel - 10:30 pm, $10
*Mmm, jazzy.

Saturday

Slo-Mo featuring Mic Wrecka w/ I & I @ Puck Live - 8:30 pm, $15
*Just in case you somehow missed this one on the home page... I mean, DUH!

Francis Dunnery @ Tin Angel - 7 & 9 pm
*We just wrote about this dude in our blog. Eat at Serrano first (BANGERS 'N' MASH!)

Sunday

Passion Pit w/ Tokyo Police Club, Brahms @ the Mann - 7:30 pm, $26
*Because you have to love music that sounds like eating wax bottles and drinking A-Treat while playing Nintendo.

Monday
A rare dark day in Philly. Stay home and call your mom.
