The North Star, 2639 Poplar St., 9pm, $7

This should be an exciting show, as according to critic/scenester/musician Joey Sweeney, we are now officially part of some sort of scene hegemony (unbeknownst to us and most other Philadelphians)

From Philebrity.com:

"Suddenly, everybody is all abuzz about The Spinto Band, the mythical basement group of longhairs that is promising to topple the whole Dr. Dog/Capitol Years/Teeth/National Eye/Buried Beds/American Altitude/Like Moving Insects scene. (BTW, these boys need to come up with a snappy name so it doesn’t take forever when you invoke their whole milieu. Something like Nelly’s St. Lunatics or, like, the Flipmode Squad. Something like that. Maybe the Friends of Beard.)"

Argh. Sorry, that fourth band on the show should have been "Birdie" not "Buried Beds".

I think what he might mean, or at least how I interpret it (from a booking standpoint) is that all of those bands have very loyal crowds (and lots of mutual friends) who come out to see them. There's a definite "scene", but in a good way.

I am definitely going to use "Friends of Beard" though. That's classic.
