HiSoft delivered the melodic goods on 2006 debut Amateur, uniting bass-thumping grooves and rich harmonies that wash over your ears in a floating, casual, psych-folk-focused manner. In a flash, just like the dreamy state the music induced, it was gone. Then, toward the backend of the summer, a new song “State Police” appeared, and the fire was rekindled. But for how long? Tonight, HiSoft, led by Gerhardt Koerner (ex-Lilys, ex-The Sound of Kaleidoscope), emerges to headline Boot & Saddle. In support, Quentin Stoltzfus’s Light Heat continues to produce new material, recently dropping the EP The Silver Light of the Late Night before their highly anticipated show with Lillys. The ever present Don Devore is working double-duty, kicking the show off. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
