A folksy, echoing, psychedelic ambiance persists as one dives into the abyss better known as the sonic waves of Trish Keenan Duo. While the layers envelop a somewhat eerie, meditative state, the music constructs itself. Not so distant vibrations shake off the baggage of the everyday, allowing the internal speculations to temporarily rise to the surface as they seek illumination. The multi-faceted, electro-noise pop combination of Flesh Prince and the rich elusive instrumental tunes of R.R. Perkins help to mold this evening at W/N W/N. With a freshly released album Trix Shadow Yogurt, the industrial experimentation of Baltimore’s Kryz Kniv completes this lineup of sonic manipulators. W/N W/N, 931 Spring Garden St., 8pm, All Ages – Michael Colavita

Will McAndrew (of R5 Productions) is curating a fundraiser show at PhilaMOCA to support the Philadelphia Student Union in its mission of banding students together to "demand a high quality education in the Philadelphia public school system." It’s a tried and true method; there’s no better way to empower young people and bolster a youth movement than through the magical power of rock ‘n’ roll music. Guitarmony shred-rock titans Sheer Mag will be headlining the event, busting out riffs that they would never teach you in school. Dark Thoughts will also be performing in support of the students with their angsty, accelerated Ramones swagger, building heavy parallels in sound and objective to Rock ‘n’ Roll High School. Hopefully all buildings will be left intact. Bad Canoes, which features the unparalleled vocal stylings of Marissa Paternoster from Screaming Females, are also pitching in by bringing their outlandish, no-wave meets Slits-inspired rock ‘n’ roll to the stage. With songs that range in subject from bangin’ radio stations to meeting babes at the mall, each tune is delivered with a raw ferocity and jarring rejection of musical standards. On this lineup, they’re like that one disruptive kid in class who can always get the whole room going: disorderly and chaotic, but a welcome departure from the status quo. PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 8pm, $12, All Ages. – Bryce Woodcock

This evening at Everybody Hits locals Hurry will be celebrating the release of their new LP Guided Meditation, out now via Lame-O-Records. The positive reviews have already started coming in for the album, and are well-deserved. The project has come a long way from Matt Scottoline’s bedroom (probably?) to a tight and polished trio with 2 LPs under the belt. The group is filled out by the DeCarolis duo of Rob (ex-Univox) and Joe (Psychic Teens), who play drums and bass respectively. Markedly more produced, Guided Meditation drops a lot of the fuzz for nimble lead guitar lines and shifts in dynamics. Not to say there isn’t still a bunch of crunchy guitars, because there are, but the range of Scottoline’s songwriting and the bands attention to detail are more apparent on this latest batch of recordings. Fans of Teenage Fanclub will still dig this album, but so will fans of Brian Wilson. The guys from Hurry also recruited a bunch of friend’s to come along for the ride tonight, which includes Telepathic, Fake Problems frontman Chris Farren, and Cave People. Everybody Hits, 529 W Girard Ave., 8:30pm, $5, All Ages – Adam G.

We see the Martin Shkreli drama unfolding in episode 5 of Nothing‘s Tired of Tomorrow documentary. Check out what frontman Nicky Palermo has to say about Shkeli and the whole fucked up situation! Ha…you’ll also discover that Nicky has pretty sweet jump shot. The LP is also currently streaming at NPR’s First Listen, and it will be officially released on May 13 via local powerhouse Relapse Records.

Ugh…this weather is shit! But we do have two new tracks from indie-pop faves CRUISR. The fresh and so clean single, "Take That," has the bounce and groove that will find it in someone’s soundtrack. And some might remember "The Fritz" from the days when CRUISR still had an "e". Nice to see it making a return!

Marinate in the deep psych-surf groove of previously unreleased “Howl” from Needle Points‘ performance on April 29, 2016 at Bourbon & Branch. The band’s debut full-length is slated for a summer release. This raunchy space-boogie ditty suggests that the Scott McMicken-produced record should be one that’s on your radar.

Below is a new music video for Modern Baseball‘s track "Wedding Singer," which is the latest single from the group’s forthcoming album Holy Ghost. In it, the lovable quartet is the house band inside the brain of the video’s protagonist, who is having a shitty day until he hooks up with pink-wigged cutie driving a hearse. Things get a little Twilight Zone-y, but the romance eventually blossoms. Holy Ghost comes out on May 13 via Run For Cover Records, and the band will be doing a special in-store performance at Long in the Tooth on Thursday, May 12.

The trio known as Lady Parts hits the upstairs of Kung Fu Necktie this evening. The band dishes out melodic, cut-down-to-the-core rock, implementing smooth vocal harmony and combating that with moments of snarl. Lyrically-twisting, simple-on-the-surface images that entrench themselves with a deeper resonance, it’s heartfelt, attitude-smeared rock that you’ll subconsciously replay throughout the day. The twang-infused, alt-country tunes of Betty Iron Thumbs and the jolting noise-punk of Kevin help to complete this billing, which also includes the debut performance of local three-piece Cool Eagle. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $6, 21+ – Michael Colavita

Watch the new video for “Arrest,” found on Curtis Cooper‘s debut album Laughing in Line. The footage captivates with its haunting sense of entrapment. Dylan Pecora captures the face-warping, eye-popping intensity as Cooper conducts the songs movements while those basement walls seem to hold him in. He’s also set to perform at Bourbon & Branch on Friday, May 13, as part of Queen of Jeans residency, which also includes Ceramic Animal’s record release.

Microsoft Saint, a.k.a. Domenica Pileggi (formerly known as I Tried to Run Away When I Was 6), has released a new EP Bubblegum Bubblegum. Stirring lyrical blows of introspection are softened by a relaxed melodic sensibility. Microsoft Saint is part of a billing on Tuesday, May 10 at Goldy’s, which also includes Palm, Old Maybe, and Hellier Ulysses.

Check out the color explosions happening through the underground of NYC in RJD2‘s new music video for "The Sheyboygan Left," off his latest LP Dame Fourtune! The footage was directed by Keenan Parry and Ason Intrigue (The Wizard & The Bear), and features improvisational work from New York dancers Anna Zekan and Adam Dickerson.
