Cheers Elephant are hard at work on the brand new album, and are getting ready to unveil some new tracks. But before they do both, the dynamic local psych-folk rockers are getting ready to play Blockley Pourhouse during what might just be the nicest lineup to grace the new venue. They’ll be joined by Oso, whose last album The Bellringer was one of my favorite releases of last year. This will be the bands first big outing before they headline Thursday’s portion of the Northern Liberties Winter Music Festival. Rounding out the already well-rounded lineup is Filmstar, a band whose leaping and plunging melodies, incisive lyrics, and unabashed pop hooks should rouse up the crowd. Blockley Porhouse, 3801 Chestnut St., 9pm, $5, 21+ myspace.com/cheerselephant (Tyler Westnedge) – Bill McThrill
