Field Mouse Warm-up at Bourbon & Branch Aug. 22

Philadelphia/Brooklyn four-piece Field Mouse roll into Bourbon & Branch for a pre-tour show tonight with Heavy Lights. And it’s sure to be good warm-up for the band, who is still riding high from the release of their debut full-length Hold Still Life (Tope Shelf Records), which has recently climbed up to the 12th spot on the latest CMJ Music Poll. It was co-produced by band members Andrew Futral and Rachel Browne, and channels fond memories of Juliana Hatfield with a shoegaze element. So tonight will be a good time to familiarize yourself with the group before they play the Barbary on September 19th as part of the Topshelf Records tour. Bourbon & Branch, 705 N. 2nd St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Bill McThrill
