Are you ready to rock? Well, it doesn’t really matter because Birds of Maya are going to rock enough for all of Philadelphia tonight at JB’s. Their bluesy thrashing jams are full of soul and distortion. The drums sound both aggressive and laid-back in “Sleepwalker” along with the dirty guitar licks recalling The Black Lips (if they never commercialized and instead got into the recording styles of black metal artists) or The Crystal Antlers (if they fell in love with Howlin’ Wolf instead of whomever they worship sonically). This relentless garage blues outfit released an ambitious three-song double LP Ready To Howl in April, and if you do the math (I won’t cause I don’t believe in math), then you will see that those songs are pretty fuckin’ long. It is not too surprising then to learn that the album is the soundtrack for an upcoming film by the same name, now, if only this album could come out in 3D with many tabs of acid. Opening the show will be Signals, a spastic psych rock band that has risen from the ashes of Lesser Known Neutrinos. Johnny Brenda’s 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Adam G.
