Tonight is Mister Heavenly’s debut Philly performance, and I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time now. If you didn’t know already (then you probably really need to check out our site more often), the band is made up of madcap hometown son Honus Honus a.k.a. Ryan Kattner (Man Man), Nick Diamonds a.k.a. Nick Thorburn (Islands/Unicorns), and Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse/The Shins). Yes, that’s quite a nice indie rock pedigree, but the band members didn’t just ride the wave of hype that comes attached with their other projects. Instead, the trio sculpted a fantastic album Out of Love (which was The Deli Philly’s August Album of the Month) as well as new genre that they have labeled “doom wop” (which is definitely fitting). They will be taking over the basement of the First Unitarian Church tonight, and Honus Honus has brought along Man Man bandmate Jamey Robinson and his project Buffalo Stance to help bring more wackiness to the momentous occasion as well as Brooklyn rockers Mr. Dream. Also check out Mister Heavenly’s bizarre new music video below for “Bronx Sniper” that they just posted earlier today. Don’t miss out because you never know when Mister Heavenly will come back into your life again! First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut St., 8pm, $12, All Ages – Q.D. Tran
