Phonographic Arts are hosting a local’s only show full of gothic/post-punk influenced psychedelic noise this Sunday night at their new home and a new favorite hangout of ours, The Level Room. Starting the night off will be dark/bluesy punks Latern, followed by the noisy psych rock of Harsh Vibes. Headlining the night’s bill will be the psychedelic post-punk of Far-Out Fangtooth, who had a break out year in 2011 on the heels of their well-received debut LP, Pure & Disinterested via Siltbreeze. The record found the group expanding their sound from their early days of Cramps-esque garage punk, to the aforementioned gothic/psychedelic post punk. Far-Out Fangtooth also have a new 7” coming out in the near future via HoZac Records. I know that it is on Sunday, but don’t sleep on this show! The Level Room, 2108 Market St., $8, 9pm, 21+ – Dan Brightcliffe
Weekend Warrior, January 13 – 15
