Snakes Say Hisss Keepin’ Ya Young at DDG Aug. 6

We can’t stay young forever, but we can try. Philly natives Snakes Say Hisss explore Peter Pan-esque longings between postmodern lines like “I want to grow up to be a black hole” and shout outs to 22nd and Chestnut. “Cosmic Skeleton” plays out precocious and carefree, like The Unicorn’s Who Will Cut Our Hair When We’re Gone? with the genius of electro-weirdo Rafter. “I Control the Wind” is a dance jam and “Dual Motion” rocks hard. Clipped bleeps and backbeats make for deliberately messy pop with vocals delivered with a twinge of indifference seeped in pure caffeine. Since their ’07 LP I’ll Be Lovin’ You was released on Famous Class Records, deets on Snakes Say Hisss’ follow up still remain under wraps. Their tracks are the closest thing to finding the fountain of youth so drink up with Tough Knuckles and Da Comrade! Danger Danger Gallery, 5013 Baltimore Ave., 9pm, $5 – $10, All Ages – Dianca Potts
