Jug Carver, Jonny Alba, Ben D Straw and Steven Singer
Four acts on the Haverford Road stage, Jug Carver through Steven Singer. The Nail has booked original bands on Friday and Saturday nights for seventy-odd years and shows no sign of stopping.
More at Rusty Nail Nightclub
Resolver, Chiseled Lilies, Palinoia and Opossom
Four band Saturday at the Nail, all original material. A small stage on Haverford Road with a long habit of booking bands nobody else will.
We Are Skeletons
We Are Skeletons take the Sunday slot at the Nail, the Haverford Road room that calls its Sunday night just chillin' and still puts a band on the stage.
Skarlette Roxx, Snow White and Manticore
Three bands on Labor Day night. Mondays are usually dark at the Nail, so a holiday bill of Skarlette Roxx, Snow White and Manticore is the rare reason to point the car at Haverford Road.
