Philly natives Blood Feathers‘ sound can be summed up as fuzzy retro-rock guitars, backed by sixties girl group drum patterns, with the dual lead vocal harmonies courtesy of founders Ben Dickey and Drew Mills, who formed the outfit in 2005 after cutting their teeth in various local bands in the ‘90s and wanting to branch out on their own. The six-piece released their second album, Goodness Gracious, digitally last December to critical acclaim, and has received consistent airplay on NPR’s World Café program (it’s now available on vinyl through the Philebrity label). And tonight, they’re returning home to grace their hometown with some good old fashion rock ‘n’ roll–and throw a rocking party in celebration of Mills’ birthday–at Johnny Brenda’s alongside fellow local rockers Swivel Chairs and Robai. So bake the best damn cake you can and bring it on down. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., $10, 9pm, 21+ -Dan Brightcliffe
