Prowler Opening for Deerhoof at TLA Feb. 11

Slowly but surely, Prowler is becoming one of my favorite local bands. The erratically-inclined five-piece, who recently visited the Y-Not Radio studios for some chat stew and jamming, steals my heart with their jagged electro-rock bops and transfixing knife-like yowls. You can witness this Phrequency.com-presented blitz tonight at the TLA when they open for quirky San Fran spazz-garage veterans, Deerhoof, and their tour mates, the lashing Scotland/Germany-based synth-prog duo Ben Butler & Mousepad. Show up early, and catch Philly’s wickedly hip spinners Broadzilla DJs (who by the way consistently have the raddest promo posters) shake the floor.
