Here’s one of those oh-so-wrong-but-feels-oh-so-right music videos from Johnny Showcase, a.k.a. David Sweeney, for the track “Sensual, Parts 1 & 2” off his LP Love is the Message. It was produced and directed by Rachel Gordon. Bravo to all who were involved! You just made the world a little more enjoyable.

In the music of Emily Arin, you are provided a door-cracked glimpse into the songwriter’s tragedy, which may feel a bit uneasy at times as you become witness to one’s heartache. However, its honesty provides insight bringing you to a more comfortable plane of understanding as her genteel voice assures you that she’s okay. She’ll survive, and be a better person for it. And in that instant, you realize that you will be too. Sorrow finds hope springing from the plucks and strums of her acoustic guitar that lays a scenic backdrop for her tales. Arin will be sharing her experiences tonight at PhilaMOCA for Tuesday Tune-Out as well as a movie about gypsy music. PhilaMOCA, 531 12th St., 8pm, $5, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman

Congrats to local rhymesayer and bearded wonder Freeway who recently signed with Babygrande Records! His long-awaited album Diamond In The Ruff will be released on November 13, and will feature production work by Jake One, Needlez and Bink! as well as guest appearances from Wale, Styles P, Marsha Ambrosius, Musiq Soulchild, and more. Cheers!

Chris Harford and the revolving door of musicians known as the Band of Changes, featuring members of Dr. Dog and formerly of Ween, will be making a headlining appearance tonight at Johnny Brenda’s. The Bucks County local legend’s music has been a significant influence on the suburb’s music scene and beyond. With open, confessional lyrics that paint clear pictures zooming into focus on imperfections, he casts audio images that can lure audiences in. Harford and crew will also be supported by gentle giant Corey Duncan’s Oh! Pears and the energetic, born-in-the-wrong-time sounds of Toy Soldiers. Johnny Brenda’s 1201 Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita

Update: Dean Ween will definitely be on guitar tonight as well as Eric Slick on drums as part of the Band of Changes.

Man Man’s Jamey Robinson is the mastermind behind Buffalo Stance, a synth/Moog lead scenario melding pop-driven songs that thrive on a conveyor belt of keys and rhythms with a twisted carnival edge and funky dance beats. The instrumental combinations can sometimes seem disjointed until you realize that exploring the connections is part of the music within itself. Buffalo Stance is the perfect cross between a haunted castle and an arcade. One never knows what to expect or were to expect it. However, sometimes playing the game is fun enough. Tadoma will also be screwing with your mind this evening, creating a continuously evolving setting that grows on the listener while morphing throughout the process.

Below is a message from our wacky pals at Norwegian Arms & Laser Background. The two outfits have joined forces for a Philly House Show Residency Tour in September & October. However, it is not your normal run of shows as you will see from the deets below.

Fresh off the release of his massively successful mixtape, Dreamchasers 2, Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill is coming back home on his “Dreams and Nightmares” tour to support his forthcoming LP of the same name. Unfortunately, Mill’s official major label debut’srelease date has been pushed back from August 28th to October 30th. In a recent interview on San Francisco radio station WiLD 94.9, the local emcee explained his reasons for delaying his much anticipated debut as such: “A lot of people have been shying away from the real rapping and hip-hop. When I come out with an album, I want to have a classic album.” Fans can hope to hear some tracks from this yet to be finished “classic album” along with other favorites tonight at the TLA on South Street. Theatre of Living Arts, 334 South St., 7pm/11pm, $57.50, All Ages – Dan Brightcliffe

Purling Hiss are headlining the last showcase that is part of R5’s Free Summer Concert series at Morgan’s Pier, ushering out the summer with creaky, crackly fuzz-rock whose colors bleed together like tie-dye. Led by lo-fi acolyte Mike Polizze (also from Birds of Maya), their recent single for Weathervane Music’s Shaking Through, "Lolita," is a departure from the band’s amorphous sound. Purling Hiss are still reminiscent of the early 90s, but the track sounds like it came from another band entirely. With a clear-cut swagger, and a plaintive, aggressive rant that rises above the grit of some truly raunchy guitar work, it’s strange to hear Purling Hiss sans static, fuzz pedals and muffled vocals, but they’ve made this rock-and-roll gem pretty much irresistible. They’re preceded tonight by Bandname, who definitely belong on somebody’s last-beach-trip-of-the-summer playlist. Morgan’s Pier, 221 N.
