POP . . . plus

Vans Warped Tour: The most durable (15h annual) and reliable of the one-day, multistage festivals will have many skateboarding across the bridge for the likes of Bad Religion, NOFX, Bayside, Devil Wears Prada, Less Than Jake, Flogging Molly, Meg & Dia, Underoath, Anti-Flag, Alexisonfire and more. Susquehanna Bank Center, 1 Harbour Drive, Camden, noon today, $38.25, 856-365-1300, www.livenation.com.

Audrye Sessions: Let this lush, anthemic, guitar-and keyboard-rocking San Fran band wash over you, with earnest (Bono-like) vocals by Ryan Karazija and chest-beating tunes to match. Clearly, they're more beholden to Anglo-pop than West Coast traditions. Melodic synth rockers Paper Route open. Kung Fu Necktie, 1248 N. Front St., 7 tonight, $10, 866-468-7619, www.r5productions.com.

Carsie Blanton: Philadelphia transplant is ready to spring a new album ("Buoy") of material alluding to the classic grooves of Motown, New Orleans and New York's Brill Building songwriting. Maybe she's saving Philly soul for the next set? MilkBoy, 2 E. Lancaster Ave., Ardmore, 8 tonight, $12, 610-645-5269, www.milkboycoffee.com.

The Veronicas: Identical twins Jess and Lisa Origliasso offer a sharp-edged and passionate take on pop punk and dance pop as they urge on any and all comers with tunes like "Take Me on the Floor." No surprise, this Brisbane, Australia, duo's fan club includes more than a few thrill-seeking guys, along with the girls. TLA, 334 South St., 7 tonight, $18, 215-922-1011, www.livenation.com.

Greg Laswell: Clean and bright, with a sweet bouquet and nice finish. Yeah, you'll like sipping from the vats of this fine-whine producer. Folk pop with no sugar additives. Elizabeth & the Catapult and Rosi Golan share the bill. M Room, 15 W. Girard Ave., 9 tonight, $10, 215-739-5577, www.themanhattanroom.com.

Bucks County R&B Picnic: Alligator Records' celebrated Michael "Iron Man" Burks serves up his snappy mix of blues, swamp and rockabilly as headliner of this 27th annual. Also on tap, Paul Mark & the Van Dorens, Jill West and Blues Attack, Dikki Du & the Zydeco Krewe, the Gas House Gorillas, Nate Myers & the Aces and Ambush. Snipes Farm, Route 1 South, Morrisville, 11 a.m.-7 p.m. tomorrow, $36 ages 15 and older, $20 ages 3 to 14, 215-264-6631, www.bucksbluessociety.com.
