Capillary Action CD Release Party at JB’s April 10

Avant-prog outfit Capillary Action will be celebrating their new self-released album (via the band’s own label Natural Selection) Capsized at Johnny Brenda’s tonight. Johnathan Pfeffer along with his current lineup of conspirators that consists of Julian Chin (accordion), John DeHaven (trumpet), Colin Hacklander (drums) and Mike Harrist (bass) push the boundaries of what you’d expect from an “indie band” these days, and on their latest effort, the band delves into the world of free jazz coupled with fleeting moments of pop melodies. This combination certainly sets listeners up for plenty of surprises. The travelling circus of noisemakers will be taking the madness on the road throughout the U.S. and parts of Canada before heading to Europe for festival season and other club dates so this will be your last chance to see them for awhile. Scott Churchman will also be opening with his brand of disturbingly spooky folk to help set the mood for the strange as well as DC’s experimental folk act Hume. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
