Creeping Weeds Album Release Party at JB’s Feb. 12

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from psych-pop Fishtown natives Creeping Weeds. But Pete Stewart and the rest of the crew have finally emerged through the looking glass, after four years since the release of their promising debut We Are All Part of the Dream You Are Having, with another impressive new album in See Through. Their signature pop hooks and irregular arrangements remain intact, but they have also found a precarious balance between the two forces that makes for a most enjoyable listen! During tonight’s album release party at Johnny Brenda’s you will have an ample opportunity to soak in the new material since it will be played in its entirety. They’ll be joined by Cheers Elephant who have been on cloud nine since the release of their latest full-length Man is Nature (you can check out our review of the album here). After this show, the motley crew will be joining Chubby Checker in celebrating the 51st anniversary of The Twist on NBC, and will be prepping hard for their first ever performance on the big stage of the TLA when they open for The Go! Team and Dom in April. Rounding out the lineup will be Chet Delcampo and his pop music zing masters, Hong Kong Stingray. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Bill McThrill
