Work Drugs 5th Annual Holiday Spectacle w/Kississippi & Kate Faust at JB’s Dec. 12

Grab your dancing shoes, white sports coats and sunglasses: Work Drugs are back this Saturday for their 5th annual Holiday Spectacle at Johnny Brenda’s. With their glossy, tantalizing electro-funk rhythms, the group has established themselves over the years as prolific dance-pop songwriters, creating tunes that aren’t just extremely groovable, but also at times, glazed with an introspective melancholy that can still maintain perfect pop sensibility. They’ll be joined by the endearingly candid storytelling of Kississippi, who recently dropped their label debut We Have Know Future, We’re All Doomed (Soft Speak Records), and siren-esque electro-pop singer-songwriter Kate Faust. Begin your holiday celebration early tonight! Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 8pm, $10-$12, 21+ – Bryce Woodcock
