They Grow Up So Fast: Johnny Brenda’s turns five this month, puts together anniversary schedule for September

it’s a very happy day! Johnny Brenda’s was born five years ago. (Just think, in 11 years they’ll be shaving.) From the wonderful folks over at JB’s:

Since our doors opened in September, 2006, Johnny Brenda’s goal has been to provide, both fan and band alike, a unique musical experience.  We have had the pleasure of hosting amazing national touring artists such as Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver, The National and Grizzly Bear, as well as local favorites Dr. Dog, Langhorne Slim, Kurt Vile and Mazarin.  In the spirit of our first five years, we’ve invited incredible bands, both national and local, to help us celebrate our first five years.

To mark our five year anniversary, we will be presenting special concerts every Friday and Saturday evening beginning Friday, September 16, 20011 through Saturday, October 1st.  Local bands include:  Work Drugs, Purples (members of the Teeth), Meg Baird, Blood Feathers and Like a Fox as well as acclaimed touring bands, such as Ted Leo & The Pharmacists (two shows!!) , J. Viewz, Jenny Owens Young and Home Blitz.  We also have a very special and rare  All Ages Matinee show on September 24th with Ted Leo & The Pharmacists!!!
