If a showcase featuring Shape Breaker and Burnt Ones sounds like a post-punk rendition of a Lovecraft novel, you wouldn’t be far off. Local openers Shape Breaker lives up to its name with some echoing, violent psych-punk, while Jackie Paper sounds like an intersection between a folksy family band and an acid trip. Burnt Ones will be celebrating the release of their new LP Gift (which is available via Thee Oh Sees’ John Dwyer’s imprint Castle Face Records), by way of a tour with fuzzy-psych outfit Raw McCartney. With playfully deranged vocals draped over instrumentals that can go from dirty to tender at a moment’s notice, expect only the best and the weirdest from tonight’s performance. They’ll all be converging this evening at Bourbon & Branch for a showcase presented by rad Philly-based music blog The Styrofoam Drone that is run by Zac Camagna. Bourbon & Branch, 705 N. 2nd St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Daniel Ludwig
