See Lion (Get It?)

This afternoon I will be in College Park watching the Maryland v. Georgia Tech game and right after that, attending a birthday party, but if the timing is right, I will also be at the Red and the Black checking out Daddy Lion. Daddy Lion makes wonderfully fuzzy guitar rock in the vein of The Replacements, Husker Du, and (older/better) Modest Mouse created in a bedroom by Jeremy Whitman and brought to life with a full band that has been gigging regularly in the past few months.

The band has gotten national press recently when their song "Morning" was picked as NPR's Song of the Day and recently released a self-titled EP that you can download for free right here.

So if you're not too busy tonight for some terrific hometown rock then you should cough up the measly $8 (well worth it my friend) and check out Daddy Lion (Saturday, February 20th) at The Red and the Black - hopefully I will join you there.
