Goodnight Lights CD Release Party at JB’s June 18

Last year was a breakout year for Goodnight Lights since it marked the release of their critically acclaimed self-titled debut. But the band is ready to kick it up a notch in 2010 with the release of their sophomore album Electric Spark, which can be downloaded for free on their website. This 9 song undertaking was self-produced with the bands bassist Jonah Delso at the helm, and the album artwork was created by drummer Michael Ziegler. The end result is a dynamic product that echoes the sound of some of their influences such as Pixies, Cake, and Guided By Voices. The band is set to celebrate in epic fashion at Johnny Brenda’s tonight, and they’ll be joined by their good friends The Quelle Source. The band has been catching eyes and ears since putting out Enjoy The Ridge over the winter, and songs like "The State Line" and "Scratch Your Fast Forward" are sure to be anthems that signify the energy of the evening. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Bill McThrill
