Tonight/Wednesday July 20, 2011
World Cafe Live
3025 Walnut Street
Philadelphia, Pa 19114
215-222-1400

Tony Mecca & The Heavy MeNtal Gypsys - the funest band that ever intentionally spelled their name incorrectly - invade the sacred and intellectually enriched Ivy League grounds of World Cafe Live!

A wonderful night of rock 'n roll psychotherapy awaits music lovers especially interested in "story songs" about everyday people dealing with ordinary and surreal life circumstances. Oh yea, there are also songs involving witches, fictional goats, whining idiots and a confused farmer.

Tony & The Gypsys will be supported by their good friends MARK EVANS @ 8:00PM and THOMAS CHRISTOPHER @ 8:40PM - It's not too late to reserve you seats, but do it now!
