If you had a chance to catch my guest DJ spot on XPN last night, then you might have heard one of the loveliest voices coming out of the local music community. Megan Biscieglia, a.k.a. Bad Braids, is a Brooklyn transplant, but with her latest LP Supreme Parallel (Haute Magie), the petite songbird carries on the respected tradition of freak folk in Philly that seemed to flourish in the aughts with acts like Espers leading the way. On tonight’s bill at Johnny Brenda’s, there will be union of truly impressive vocals when Bad Braids opens for Chicago-based indie-folk darling Angel Olsen, who captivated the blogosphere last year with her release Half Way Home (Bathetic). Yeah, this is a pretty big show that you don’t want to miss. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $12, 21+ – Q.D. Tran
