Rugged crooner Daughn Gibson‘s new album Me Moan (Sub Pop) is availble for streaming in its entirety via NPR’s First Listen. Backed by members of Baroness and Brokeback, the LP will be officially released on July 9. He’ll be performing next in Philly on August 6 at Johnny Brenda’s. 

After dazzling us with their debut singles “Giantess” and “Freyja,” Tutlie will finally be dropping their first EP, Hush Up. The release is a companion to their upcoming full-length album, and will be available this evening in conjunction with the group’s show at Johnny Brenda’s opening for LA pop trio Superhumanoids. The band will be giving out handmade download cards to those in attendance. Also on the lineup will be Moon Bounce, a.k.a. Corey Regensburg, a local native who impressed multiple major music media outlets and blogs with his beautifully orchestrated debut EP Darn Your Best Frock in 2011. It was followed up by last year’s EP Wheelhouse, and tonight will be a good opportunity to hear what the inventive producer has been working on lately. Being able to find this much talent under one roof on a Monday night is just one of the many reasons why Philly’s music scene rules – so take advantage of it! Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ (Tutlie Photo by David Turcotte) – H. M. Kauffman 

There have been rumors hovering around the Chiddy Bang camp about the future of the group. The duo recently issued a statement to clarify these “rumblings.” Xaphoon Jones, a.k.a. Noah Beresin, will no longer be performing live on stage or in front of the cameras with Chiddy, a.k.a. Chidera Anamege. Instead, Beresin has decided to take a step back from the limelight and concentrate on “being a producer.” Below is what they had to say about the situation.

Fans of rising emcee Gliss (formerly Young Gliss) are surely anxious to hear his much-talked-about upcoming release with Les Professionnels entitled High on a Weekday. Well, it still doesn’t have an official release date yet, but you can swing by Silk City tonight for a “glimmer” of his smooth, laidback flow. Gliss will be performing live this evening as part of the BALANCE: Music Showcase, whose theme is geared towards bringing together and finding balance among the local gangster and backpack rappers in one show. He’ll also be joined by Chic Raw, Theodore Grams, Chase Allen and many others celebrating their love for the Philly hip hop community. Silk City, 435 Spring Garden St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman 

Ever since he released his solo masterpiece Boerum Palace, New York guitarist Steve Gunn has been receiving an endless amount of praise, which also holds true in the Philly music community. So it’s not surprising that the Kurt Vile affiliate has chosen Johnny Brenda’s to have a record release show for his latest effort Time Off. It’s the first album where the guitar legend leads an enigmatic trio. And while Gunn and New York’s Endless Boogie will be making this show one to see, local folk songwriter (and oddball tweeter) Psalmships, a.k.a. Joshua Britton, will most definitely impress as well. And as he gets closer and closer to releasing his latest EP Some Ships, Britton has also been refining newer songs at live shows. So tonight may be a suitable preview. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford St., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Bill McThrill 

If you’re a city dweller like myself, summertime in Philly is actually more enjoyable on the weekends as the city empties out while the rest of the local natives head towards the shore. Who needs the beach anyways? Especially when you have the surf rock tunes of Philly’s own Dry Feet to help bring in the waves of good times. The hard-rockin’ trio will be laying down plenty of sweet guitar licks this Saturday at Underground Arts when they open for sci-fi lovin’ Man or Astro-Man? and Miami’s Jacuzzi Boys. Trust me. With a show like this, you’ll never miss all the fist-pumping at the Jerzey Shore. Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St., 7:30pm, $15, 21+ – Alexis V.

Check out the new Garden State-inspired music video from Modern Basball for their track "The Weekend"! It premiered earlier today on Property of Zack. If this doesn’t get you pumped up to party this weekend, you need to reevaluate your life. The band also has a split 7" with The Hundred Acre Woods coming out on July 15 via Lame-O Records. Enjoy!

Originally started in France on June 21, 1982 (Summer Solstice) and known as La Fête de la Musique, the free citywide music festival encourages open participation from amateur and professional musicians. The U.S. adopted this concept in 2006 as National Music Day. You should expect to see a whole bunch of performances in traditional and non-traditional spaces throughout town as part of the inaugural Make Music Philly, which is spearheaded by WXPN, in conjunction with the City of Philadelphia and other organizations. It’s Friday, and the weather is predicted to be beautiful outside so take the time to walk around, meet some friends for happy hour, or simply play hookie from work/school, and catch some live music performances from artists like Norwegian Arms, Arc In Round, Toy Soldiers‘ Ron Gallo, Levee Drivers‘ August John Lutz II and many others. To learn more about where and when you should be at today, check out Make Music Philly’s official schedule HERE.
