Philly natives Blood Feathers are back at Johnny Brenda’s tonight in full force now that drummer Patrick Marsceill is on a hiatus from the road with his other band, Sun Airway, working on a new album. The core of Blood Feathers is made up of Ben Dickey and Drew Mills. The duo formed the band back in 2005 after performing in various projects throughout the ‘90s in the local music scene. With the goal of performing new material that they had written, what came to fruition is a nostalgic brand of good ole fashion American rock n’ roll deeply rooted in the blues, soul, gospel, and jazz music. Their sound can be summed up as fuzzy retro-rock guitars, backed by sixties girl group drum patterns, with the clean dual lead vocal harmonies of Dickey and Mills. Rounding out tonight’s show are fellow psych-garage rockers St. James & The Apostles. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., $10, 9pm, 21+ – Dan Brightcliffe
