Fast-paced, acid-tinged rockers St. James & The Apostles have been known to add plenty rhythm and blues swagger and biblical psych to their music through their heart-thumping drums, melodious keyboards, stoner guitar riffs, and gang vocals. But the trio takes that combination to the extreme with their latest album Via Dolorosa, especially when you add in guest backing vocals by the sultry and soulful Ang Bocca of Ang & the Damn Band. The wholly unholies celebrate their latest release tonight at Ortleib’s, where they’ll be selling 50 special signed and numbered white vinyl copies and jamming with a number of surprise special guests. The show will be opened by the dark, twisted rockabilly piano musings of Mr. Unloved. Ortleib’s Lounge, 847 N 3rd St., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Bill McThrill
