Phoenix has dilly on this weekend’s big musical happenings

1:33PM ON 09/05/2008
BY Dave Segal

The Waterfront Festival starts tomorrow night. It features national acts — the Walkmen and Elvis Perkins, local favorites — like Deer Tick and Roomful of Blues, and this intriguing mish-mash:

Sunday provides another reason to justify a few early brews when Pawtucket emcee Chachi takes the stage with a crew of local all-stars known as the Trenton Street Rockers, comprised of various members of the Agents, ZOX, Fungus Amungus, and Soul Shot.

Sadly, Waterfront Fest will be competing with TONIGHT’S release party over at Firehouse 13, for the Low Anthem’s, Oh My God, Charlie Darwin.

Heaven-sent and handmade, the Low Anthem’s new disc, Oh My God, Charlie Darwin, descends on its listeners like a paper airplane, wobbling lightly on the breeze. Its musical trajectory, pleasingly unpredictable, swings gently but widely — from acoustic reveries to indie Americana to a folkish interpretation of Tom Waits’s “Home I’ll Never Be.”
