The kick-ass jams will be aplenty this Saturday night at Underground Arts. Headlining the stacked lineup will be one of my favorite bands of late prolific San Francisco garage rockers Thee Oh Sees. They don’t play Philly often enough so if you’ve never experienced them live in concert, you really need to make it happen. Thee Oh Sees have recruited rifftastic, psych-garage locals Purling Hiss to help blow out some eardrums. Iggy Pop-approved garage trio Residuels will return to the UA stage once again, after lending the group’s talents a couple of weeks ago for The Dude Hates Cancer after party benefit concert. Promising jazz-tinged, psych-rock newcomers Under the Clothesline will also be along for the wild ride. Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St., 9pm, $16, 21+ – Q.D. Tran
