Concert Pick: Parquet Courts at Free at Noon and PhilaMOCA

Friday afternoon and Saturday night.

There are two chances this weekend to see Parquet Courts, the superb Texas-born Brooklyn-based punk rock-plus band who have released two albums in 2014.

First up is Friday at noon at the World Cafe Live for the band who released their excellent sophomore album Sunbathing Animal in the spring and have already followed it up with another 2014 full length release called Content Nausea. (This one is released under alternate band name Parkay Quarts to reflect its different lineup, if you're with me). The good thing about that show: It's free.

Then on Saturday, the Andrew Savage and Austin Brown fronted band - who are getting WXPN radio airplay with their raved up cover of Nancy Sinatra's "The Boots Are Made For Walking," and who were on my Top Ten list last year with Light Up Gold - will head across town to headline PhilaMOCA. the good thing about that show: rising Philly trio Amanda X, whose debut album Amnesia came out on Siltbreeze this summer.

Ticket details are here. "Sunbathing Animal" is below.
