I wrote a review about Power Animal’s Female Wrestler EP for our December CD of the Month 2009 pretty soon after I received the CD-R in the mail. Well, since then Power Animal has been picked-up by Waaga Records, an offshoot of indie label Lefse (Neon Indian, Tape Deck Mountain). You can download a Waaga compilation aptly titled Waaga Records Compilation from Pitchfork here. Tonight is Power Animal’s album release show for People Songs at Kung Fu Necktie, and they’ll be celebrating it with The Ruby Suns and Toro Y Moi. Check out Keith Hampson with his new live band. They are just amazingly awesome – definitely one of my faves in Philly! Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $10, 21+ myspace.com/poweranimalpa – Q.D. Tran
