As the week draws to a close, PhilaMOCA hosts an evening with The Weaks, featuring a pair of ex-Dangerous Ponies in Chris Baglivo and Evan Bernard. The band releases their debut 7” EP The World is a Terrible Place & I Hate Myself and Want to Die today, which includes the single “Nietzsche’s Harvest Song.” While the EP’s title suggests that the group won’t shy away from serious emotional topics, they still have the potential to deliver joyous, guitar-ripping power pop. The lineup will also include the scatterbrain musical styling of Mumblr – part garage-fuzz, part pop, part pure aggression, and to make matters even more interesting, add an air of unpredictability as songs take unexpected turns at undefined moments. The dreary emotive minimalism of Queen Jesus (formerly King God) and Dogs on Acid, with former members of Algernon Cadwallader and Glocca Morra, round out the bill.
