If there’s any justice in the world, Perry A. Shall will be showered with applause, booze, and every form of holiday goodies tonight. His service to the Philly music scene is a gift that keeps on giving, especially with this evening’s musical Christmukkah bounty: not only is he rocking the Nacho House with his most excellent new project Hound, but he’s secured Ted Leo as the opener. Leo’s proclivity for randomly showing up amongst normal folks and fans to humbly bestow his awesomeness upon them rivals Bill Murray’s, and he’ll get an equally reverent welcome from the great, gritty West Philly crowd. Hound bears all the Shall trademarks: deft homage to classic garage rock, a slovenly, rollicking boogie, and impeccable arrangements that could win over even the most reticent. Rounding out the radness of this evening are amped-up angst-rockers Ghost Light, and Radiator Hospital, who have relocated to Philly from Grand Rapids, Michigan, which obviously is an all-around awesome decision.
