Satellite Hearts Residency Kickoff at Ortlieb’s Feb. 3

Satellite Hearts begin their month-long residency at Ortlieb’s tonight, headlining a lineup that’ll help you get over the hump. The trio unites a myriad of rock-based styles – one that oozes the humid warmth of surf-psych and marries it with steady attitude, asserting heavier rock side.  They can sit in a slow-cooking simmer, and then crank up the burner to really get things going.  As we await the release of their new album via Randm Records, The Lawsuits bring their custom blend of bluesy-Americana, while the surf-punk pairing of Coin Purse (former Toy Soldiers Matt Kelly  & Dom Billett) and the soul-infused rock of Kirby & the VibeTribe kick this night into action. Ortlieb’s, 847 N. 3rd St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
