I Heart Pittsburgh

This Valentine’s weekend, show a little love for the hometown as two great local acts will be performing in the ‘Burgh.

First up on Friday, the Modey Lemon will be bringing home their dirty blues-rock with a show at Brillobox in Lawrenceville. A one-time staple on the local scene, this is the band’s first hometown show in almost a year. Here’s a POP City video piece of the band talking about the generic “garage rock” label that’s been applied to them and their feelings on staying true to their Pittsburgh roots:



Then, slow things down a bit on Saturday night and celebrate Valentine’s Day with a slice of some homegrown Americana, courtesy of Paul Luc. Luc will be playing an intimate show at Club Café on the Southside, and he won’t be alone; via his website, Luc advises listeners, “While I may write the songs, make no mistake, we are a band.” Understood. Check out the band performing “Shores” in the studio here, or download a few tracks below.
