Tonight, the monthly installment of Communion Philadelphia occurs at Underground Arts; bringing with it, a lineup oozing with talent and a rotating two-stage setup aimed at keep the music perpetually rolling. As they work on the follow-up to Spanish Peaks, Weekender remains an intriguing group. Piling layers of clouds on to a crisp pop-rock base, thus adding an air of unpredictability, Weekender finds a smooth landing place between the straightforward and the overtly spaced-out. The bill will also include Birdie Busch and the Greatest Night, whose penetrating music is a take on Americana/folk, filled with lyrics that loop through your mind and instrumentation that constantly shifts the setting. The seductive smooth electro-R&B vocal groove combination of Samantha Gongol and Jeremy Lloyd, a.k.a. Marian Hill, wraps up the local element of the bill, which also features Field Report and Quiet Life. Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St., 8pm, $15, 21+ – Michael Colavita
