Oh, Dr. Dog, how we’ve missed you while you were on tour in support of your new album for ANTI-, Be The Void. Sure, you needed to spread around its fantastic, bellowing, melodically mincing 12 tracks, but you were gone for far too long. At least, now we have you back for a little homecoming at the Electric Factory this weekend – a sold out show tomorrow with openers Purling Hiss, who, if you remember, is a total "raging erection of rock ‘n’ roll," and one on Sunday with openers Birds of Maya (Purling Hiss’ Mike Polizze’s other lover) who just showers you with their gritty, bones-bare pub sermons. The E Factory will be home to a good ole fashion party this weekend – Philly style. Electric Factory, 421 N. 7th St., SAT. SOLD OUT; SUN, 8:30pm, $23-$25, All Ages – Annamarya Scaccia
