Kurt Vile & the Violators and Purling Hiss are back home in Philly tonight at JB’s after a long trek around the U.S. promoting their latest works on Matador and Woodsist. They were also joined on part of the tour by The Soft Pack. I’m sure these musical brethren will be very excited to be back in front of a crowd full of friends and family. Yeah, there is going to be a noisy blues rock explosion shaking the rafters at JB’s, but contemplative interludes are sure to be scattered throughout the evening, especially when Vile picks up the acoustic guitar and Amen Dune opens the show. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $12, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
