Perhaps not powerful enough to defeat the Spanish Armada in 1588, but formidable in its own right, British Sea Power sails up the Schuykill for two shows in town on Friday. At noon, the six piece from Brighton, England play for free at the World Cafe Live. Much later, they'll be at Johnny Brenda's with the Rosebuds and the Jeff Lewis Band. Here's the triumphal "Waving Flags," off their third, and best album, Do You Like Rock Music?, which pretty much blows other Joy Division-influenced bands like Interpol out of the water.
