The Love Club bring their raw sonic experimentation to PhilaMOCA tonight. Led by (((taco))), a.k.a. David Mitchell Esperanza, who is often accompanied by “a revolving door of fuck ups,” the electrified garage rock project is an alluring interpretation of the blues that you might not be surprised to find crawling out from the underbelly of Philly’s weirdo indie music community. The Love Club will be opening this evening for explosive Japanese garage-punks Thee Mighty Fevers (Dead Beat Records) and dirty Jerz fuzz-pop duo Slow Animal. PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 8pm, $7 – $10, All Ages – Alexis V.

We’ve been pretty spoiled with all this great weather so today’s showers have us a bit blue. Now, Pill Friends‘ music probably isn’t exactly the first thing that sane people grab to cheer themselves up, but we never claimed to be sane. Here’s the group performing a cover of Modest Mouse’s "Trailer Trash" (from the Seattle outfit’s classic LP The Lonesome Crowded West) for Maggot House’s Piss Couch Sessions that’s actually brightening our day. Enjoy!

Take advantage of Buried Beds’ last local headlining gig before their third full-length album is released in the not so distant future (late summer/early fall) as the band brings their charming sound to Kung Fu Necktie tonight. The group develops a beautifully united combination of orchestrated pop that flourishes in its ability to use a plethora of stringed instrumentation, creating a layered and at times dramatic vibe. Utilizing a combination of male/female vocals (Brandon Beaver/Eliza Hardy Jones), the results are a supremely polished cascading musical experience that takes advantage of excellent story-style lyrics and the sonic potential of an advantageous instrumental toolbox. Auctioneer will fit quite nicely sharing their solemnly intense take on indie pop, while Baltimore’s husband & wife duo of Paul and Krystal Jean Masson, The Great American Canyon Band, delivers wistfully atmospheric ambient indie folk that plays off the marriage of their vocals. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $8, 21+ – Michael Colavita

Pop-psych prog artists The Fantastic Imagination, a brand new project that features members of A Sunny Day in Glasgow, Arc in Round and Pet Milk, have wasted little time in delivering vibrant fantasy jams. Songs like their debut single "It Begins" do a sound job of channeling visions of walking through Middle Earth on acid. And their debut performance last month was an incendiary cacophony of weirdness. The band is fully prepared to raise the bar when they perform at Kung Fu Necktie tonight. The evening will also feature the dreary pop of Hurry, the jangly power-pop melodies of Literature, and the New Brunswick weirdo rock outfit Honeydrum. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 10pm, $8, 21+ – Bill McThrill 

The inaugural Cinedelphia Film Festival is holding its closing day festivities today. This afternoon, you’ll have the opportunity to view the 1982 New Wave classic Liquid Sky, which will be accompanied by a live score from 8-bit, prog rockers Cheap Dinosaurs. As an added bonus, the film’s reclusive producer/director Slava Tsukerman will be in attendance for a pre-screening introduction and post-screening Q&A. It is also the birthday celebration of Cinedelphia/PhilaMOCA’s Eric Bresler, who is truly a good dude, so swing on by and help him make it a memorable one (or even better, a day that he’ll need your help to piece together later on). Cheers to Eric and the Cinedelphia Film Fest for a job well done! PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 4pm, All Ages – Q.D. Tran

It’s Philly Tech Week, and this Sunday, you have the opportunity to attend an interesting free event at Underground Arts. The evening will kick off with an hour-long Q&A with ?uestlove, which will be hosted by XPN’s Bruce Warren. There will be performances by Lushlife, Man Man’s Pow Pow (a.k.a. Christopher Sean Powell), and Khari Mateen as well as tunes being spun by DJs Dave P and PHSH. Come out and learn a few things while shakin’ your ass to some dope sounds! Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St., 5pm, Free All Ages – H.M. Kauffman

It isn’t a surprise that Lantern, Philly “proto-biker-punks,” continue to cultivate a reputation as purveyors of a new aesthetic of rock ‘n’ roll. Blending avant-garde lyricism and Americana-esque chords with the emotive grit of blues and buzzing riffs circa psych’s heydays, each installment of Lantern’s discography stands testament to the three-piece’s knack for dissolving boundaries between genres and their ability to transform pre-existent structures into something audibly new. The result? Transcendent anthems like “Out Of Our Heads” or Dream Mine’s Stooges cover of “I Wanna Be Your Dog.” All fuzz without pretense, the persistent thump of percussion conjures a visceral pulse synonymous with acts like Dead Moon or the buzzing instrumented frustration of slower cuts by Goner darling Nobunny. Lantern sets to further mesmerize the public at JB’s tonight alongside Chicago’s Disappears and Brooklyn’s Man Forever. Rededicate your soul to rock ‘n’ roll. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Dianca Potts
