There’s nothing we dislike more at the Deli than when a rad local band is playing a show that’s sold out. Sure, we’re totally happy for the band but it’s a bummer for anyone who wants to catch their act. That’s the case with Bleeding Rainbow (the artist formerly known as Reading Rainbow). They’re opening for Cleveland’s Cloud Nothings tonight at Johnny Brenda’s, and if you’re sans a ticket, you’re sadly out of luck because it’s, not surprisingly, sold out. But if you’re one of those lucky ones, then you’re in for a treat. Back from their badass stint at SXSW, Bleeding Rainbow will no doubt rock the audience with their brand of fuzz bomb, frenzied noise pop renderings, which we know will be even more brilliant now that they’ve become a four-piece, with Sara Everton moving from drums to bass, new member Greg Frantz on drums, and Rob Garcia and Al Creedon on guitars. Yes, us non-ticketers are totally jealous of those with the golden pass. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 8pm, SOLD OUT, 21+ -Annamarya Scaccia
