Local indie rock scoundrels Cousin Brian and house show garage rock alumni Slutever will be hosting out-of-towners Canada’s Hand Cream and New York’s Mannequin Pussy tonight at South Philly’s The Fuckhole. You’ll be treated to some sweet tunes this evening from Cousin Brian’s debut full-length album First, which dropped yesterday and nicely captures the band’s high-energy performances, emotional outpouring, and infectious hooks that make them a rising act worth venturing into dingy, makeshift music venues to catch. The foursome should still be amped up after hitting the airwaves this past week with their WKDU interview. Slutever will be making their return to the underbelly of the house show scene, which will be the duo’s first DIY show in Philly since their recent doing of America, so I’m sure that the ladies are ready to deliver a heartfelt, kick-ass performance and perhaps new material from the album that they’ve been currently working on. Joining the local natives will darkwavers Hand Cream, a girl fronted four-piece that delivers grungy yet upbeat tracks to headbang to with songs inspired by mortal issues like child birth, alienation, and human spirituality cultivating a sick goth undertone, and Mannequin Pussy, a grrrl duo helping to illuminate the new generation of NYC no-fi thrash punks. Come enter The Fuckhole this evening for some instant gratification! The Fuckhole, (Please contact one of the acts for more details.), 7pm, $5, All Ages – Emma Branson
