Local romantics Pet Milk are set to open for Costa Rican noise pop Las Robertas. With the quasi-moody diction of “Permanent Vacation” and the heartfelt shreds of “Cherry Outline”, it’s clear why Herbie Shellenberger (Brown Recluse) and his fellow bandmates ( who are made up of members from hometown hardcore outfits Paint It Black and Pink Coffins as well as A Sunny Day in Glasgow) are the perfect premise to Las Robertas’ driving riffs and the garage-y buzz of tracks like “Damn ‘92” and “The Curse”. Leave it to No Wavelength to treat the City of Brotherly Love to Las Robertas’ first ever Philly performance. Pakistani musical gunslingers Sunny Ali and the Kid will be armed with their most enjoyable lo-fi ditties and Try Harder cassettes so dust off your tape player and grab a copy. Also kicking off the evening will be Brooklyn’s Dear Marje. Miss out on this, and you’ll regret it for months! Seriously, we hope to see you there.
