Over the last year, The Stranger‘s music staff has combed
through hundreds of local bands to find our favorite eight. We
call them the Young Ones: the Pharmacy, Talbot Tagora, Truckasauras,
the Moondoggies, Throw Me the Statue, the Physics, PWRFL Power, and
Sleepy Eyes of Death. We adore their music, predict they’ll have a
collectively amazing 2008, and salute their efforts with a big
ol’ party at Neumo’s and Sole Repair. Even better: The $5 door
charge goes directly to benefit Real Change. Last year’s Young
Ones Dyme Def and Arthur & Yu return to headline. Be
there. (Neumo’s, 925 E Pike St, and Sole Repair, 1001 E Pike St,

8 pm, $5, 21+.)
