Ted Leo and the Pharmacists/Control Top

Ted Leo has always been an emotive songwriting, flashing his heart on his sleeve and confronting the ills and celebrations of a country (and personal identity) in constant crisis. And in doing so, he's always had his band, the Pharmacists, in tow. Though he dropped his first solo outing two years ago, he's back on the road with the Pharmacists for a summer tour that brings him to the Grog Shop tonight. (Eric Sandy)
