Hey, uh, here’s a little secret I’m willing to let you in on: if you head on over to Tritone, there’s a party happening. The Homophones are playing. Sure, Jason Ferraro’s firm baritone may sound a bit like Matt Berninger from The National or some other super-serious band, but their melodramatic tunes are more tongue-in-cheek than actual drama. That light, shuffling guitar layered atop those springy synths always seems to hit the spot, especially when accompanied with lyrics about David Foster Wallace or Polish thugs "on my corner, selling drugs." But the party doesn’t stop there! Some friends, namely Eddie Austin, Julia Factorial and The Legendary WID will be spinning some records to dance to (and presumably, The WID will pull out those props and perform some comedy). And just when you think it couldn’t possibly get better…sparklers, cupcakes, balloons and drink specials galore. There’s pretty much no excuse for not going. Well, maybe if you hate to have fun. In that case, we thank you ahead of time for not coming and bringing us down. Tritone, 1508 South Street, 9pm, $7, 21+ – Joe Poteracki
