Slutever’s Rachel Gagliardi just announced the launch of her very own label Bratty Records – “channeling josie mccoy and the year 1994, bratty aims to release music with a serious dose of teenage angst.” Below is a 420-friendly music video for Bratty’s first single release called “Pussycat” from her band Slutever. It will be available on cassingle soon, but you can instantly download the track HERE. The video was shot and edited by Eddie Austin.

Spring is the time of year when the sun finally overtakes the bone-chilling cold of winter in the jostling match for weather dominance. In recognition of this victory, people celebrate the loving embrace of Ra. Free Energy is a band whose sound accommodates the liberty associated with beaches, beers and barbecues.

Bedroom Problems has already experienced quite an evolution from home recorded DIY project to full-fledged band. After recording a drum loop and reverb-laden EP in 2010, WPRB DJ Maria T Sciarrino’s vision had expanded into a quartet that included members of A Sunny Day in Glasgow and played notable shows at Johnny Brenda’s, PiLam, and the Clark Park Solstice Festival. At the end of their breakout year, Sciarrino and bandmate Mary Beth Ray took up residency in Will Noon’s Fishtown-based studio to record their Oceans/Obligated single that was released earlier this month (which you can take a listen to HERE). They also welcomed new members Roxy Lange (ex-Tough Knuckles; Moonmen on the Moon, Man) and Matt Borlik (ex-Q and Not U, Like Language) into the band. The new lineup will make their debut during a special edition of No Wavelength at Cha-Cha’Razzi tonight. They’ll be joined this evening by Heavy Sons, the group that had risen from the ashes of Pony Pants and may be making their Philly debut as a five-piece. Cha-Cha’razzi, (Please contact No Wavelength or one of the acts for more info.), 8pm, $7 – $10, All Ages – Bill McThrill

Below is a live performance video from Lushlife’s album release party this past Tuesday night (April 17, 2012) at Johnny Brenda’s. The South Philly emcee/producer lays down “Zodiac Shit” off his mixtape No More Golden Days, which also goes into a cover of Jay Z’s “Dead Presidents.” Special thanks to Live Philly Concerts for sharing, and you can check out more footage from Lushlife’s set HERE.

Philly rock ‘n’ rollers Lightninging and Univox take the stage tonight at MilkBoy Philly in support of Brooklyn guitar addicts Fang Island. Lightning is a five-piece group in which all the members, with the exception of their drummer, switch instruments in between songs throughout their sets. Their tracks are rooted in the traditional indie rock format, but often expand into extended musical journeys complete with vocal harmonies, keyboards and trumpets. Univox combines fuzzy garage rock with the vocal harmonies of 60s girl groups adding a sense of harmonic texture that is usually missing from guitar bands. Back in February, the quartet recorded a 5-song live performance for XPN which included the first live performances of the 13th Floor Elevators-esque “I’m Better Off By Myself” and the noisy punk song “Eat Drink Eat Drink Sleep Sleep Sleep.” Fans can look forwarded to hearing these two tracks this evening and hopefully some more new jams that they’ve concocted in their recently built home studio.

Keyboards sprinkle across the landscape in a playful whimsical daydream sort of manner. Then sun-kissed vocals creep into the picture. A single voice that is quickly accompanied by the drums creating a marching beat, and gradually the duality takes on the appeal of a crowd as if the voices have echoed a call that beckons for others to follow. Begging with the simple idea of a small gathering, it takes on a magnitude of its own. Tutlie is that harmless thought that when given space gains strength and therefore becomes more than you initially envisioned. The xylophone sounds, which at first seem nostalgic and almost novelty-like, play off the keys in an eerie yet comfortable way. The vocals, which are gentle and inviting, morph taking on a level of seriousness that is highlighted by the backing of the instrumentals. At first, the sun is bright, but blink your eyes, and a storm will appear on the horizon. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $12, 21+ (Photo by David Turcotte) – Michael Colavita
