Heathers‘ cardigan prince and Death Party label owner Michael Avishay celebrates his birthday in tandem with the band’s national tour, and you’re all invited to see them off and wax poetic about that late 20’s lifestyle. A blend of power pop and indie jangle with fuzz in all the right places, Heathers is an eminent force in Southern California, playing with fine fellas like Roses, Girlpool, and Kera and the Lesbians, making venues like Lot 1 and Los Globos sticky with feelings and sweat. With ludic songs suggesting sex-positivity ("Teenage Clothes"), catchy songs that are as sad as fuck ("Fear"), and covers of the integral C-86 band The Wedding Present (courtesy of Part Time Punks), Heathers’ musicality mashes heartfelt lyricism with propulsive rhythms. And that’s exactly what you need in your life.
Heathers released their newest single "Tanker" on June 3rd, and they’re probably most likely going to play it tonight. Catch them with Traps PS, White Bike, Uncrushworthy, and Media Jeweler at Pehrspace (event deets here) and get in on the Friday night feels. – Ryan Mo
