Laser Background mastermind Andy Molholt recently returned home after touring down to SXSW and back with his other project Norwegian Arms. Tonight he’ll be going underground, well, to Underground Arts – that is, when Laser Background opens for Secretly Canadian’s Here We Go Magic. I’m sure that Moholt will be plenty hyped up to play his own tunes and share some of his new material from his upcoming full-length album. So be prepared to match his intensity! Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St., 8pm, $14, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman

Exposing yourself to so much music can leave you a bit exhausted, even somewhat jaded. Bands start to overlap, and sometimes they can seem somewhat stale, overdone, and somewhat indistinguishable from one another. You look for the subtle differences that separate acts. This problem doesn’t really seem to be the case with Philly by way of Maryland emo act Modern Baseball. Playing straightforward, chord-based music, the simplicity of it all is complemented nicely by tasteful guitar work. Their lyrics are often lamenting – subjects of failed relationships but with a certain resonating relevance that has bits of nostalgia that cut deep. Their LP Sports was released at the end of last year, and is already going through its second go-around with its re-release via Run For Cover Records. Check them out tonight at Golden Tea House in support of New Jersey emo/punk act Dads and acoustic punk/folk veteran Emperor X. Also making an appearance will be Philly faves the Stable Boys and resuscitated, energy-infused two-piece Omar. Golden Tea House, (Please contact one of the acts or the venue for more info.), 7:30pm, $5 – $7, All Ages – Ed Newton 

Check out the new smoke-filled music video from Gliss for the track "Same Sh*t," which also features him and his collaborative crew Les Professionnels gettin’ blazed, munchin’ out and talkin’ stoner nonsense! It was directed by Spike Jordan. Also keep a look out for his upcoming mixtape High On A Weekday.

For the uninitiated, Nick Millevoi’s music – solo or with his band Many Arms – can seem about as accessible as a garden overrun with thorn-laden roses. Dissonance and high concept forays into multiple genres are the name of Millevoi’s game, but there are rewards for those who stick with him through the time-signature-defying workouts. Linive, due out this spring, is an astounding collaboration with the Ricart Quartet that finds Millevoi’s nimble guitar stylings buoyed by some truly ferocious avant-jazz drumming. It’s just one of many sides to this Tzadik Records alum, so don’t stop there. Millevoi is joined tonight at The Khyber Pass (who recently just opened their upstairs to live music again) by Drums Like Machine Guns and Heavy Medical, his brethren in arms, as far as the noisier ends of the spectrum go. The Khyber Pass, 53 S. 2nd St., 8:30pm, $7, 21+ – Alyssa Greenberg
