As joy, despair and resistance coexist in our hearts, there was no better place to be on Valentine’s Day than Philly’s Boot & Saddle, where Upholstery’s glitter-and-doom cabaret easily shared a stage with Rainbow Crimes’ existential howls and life-giving beats, as well as Presages’ heavy, chilly rock and thrum. Such is love.
