Laser Background commemorates the release of the band’s first full-length album Super Future Montage via La Société Expéditionnaire. Opening for the eccentric indie dance popsters Darwin Deez, the Andy Moholt-led four-piece delivers alluring rock-pop songs characterized by Moholt’s distinct vocal style and distorted image-generating lyrics met with a touch of carnival-esque creep-ride that nearly comes off the rails, but inevitably rights itself. This ability allows Laser Background to playfully toe the threshold of psych-pop establishing their signature sound. Vincent Cacchione-fronted r&b/alt-pop outfit Caged Animals round out the bill, supporting their freshly released In the Land of Giants. Johnny Brenda’s 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $12, 21+ – Michael Colavita
