Mike Bruno + the Magic Family Band & Nothing Opening for Psychic Ills at JB’s Feb. 13

It’s going to get ominously weird (in a good way) tonight at Johnny Brenda’s when hypnotic, lo-fi NYC psych-pop/rock outfit Psychic Ills rolls into town. I can’t really think of a better local opener for the evening than Mike Bruno + the Magic Family Band, who will surely draw you in with their bewitching, shadowy folk tunes. Bridging the bands sets will be Nothing blending in shoegaze-y bursts of rockin’ soundscapes with emotive lyrics and vocals. It’s kind of a good night of music for people who aren’t afraid to take hallucinogens though they’re quite susceptible to bad trips. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Alexis V.
