Music: Rock/Pop River to River presents Ted Leo & the Pharmacists

  • Rx_large

Since forming in Washington, DC, nearly a decade ago, Ted Leo & the Pharmacists have steadily become one of the country's hardest-working live bands. Although Leo first honed his hook-laden craft as the mastermind behind '90s pop-punk trio Chisel, it wasn't until the formation of the Pharmacists that his myriad influences coalesced. Fusing elements of moddish British Invasion rock with two-tone ska and '80s post punk, Leo and his (ever-changing) bandmates bang out upbeat, politically aware anthems for throngs of not-so-rude boys and girls. Tonight's free outdoor show features Fugazi's James Canty back in the Pharmacist fold.
