Mash Bash Philly w/Banned Books, Needle Points, Drone Ranger & Delicate Steve at Underground Arts Oct. 4

Tonight, Bonfire and Brooklyn Brewery present a FREE evening of music featuring a foursome of bands that push sonic boundaries in a fun exciting manner. Noise rock with delightful illuminating pop bursts, providing various evolving textures conjoining odd ends together in a manner that has one’s ears on a high–alert and maintains an accessible path, this is the mode of Banned Books. With a fresh 7” Cripple Street due out via PaperCup Music next week and a full-length album on the way, Needle Points is a band that you want to keep on your radar. The group has a knack for nestling a down-home, bass-thumping groove smack dab in the middle of their unfiltered psych-rock journey, swaying you into submission with thick raunchy guitar riffs that naturally extend the threshold and vocals that etch out a pathway to the space boogie. While your on the intergalactic trail, Drone Ranger weaves in and out of the cosmic with moments of acceleration amid relaxing lower end lulls of relaxing cruise-control jams. Headlining the show with a premium blend of experimental tasty guitar notes and ironed pop sensibility will be Deli NYC favorite Delicate Steve. Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St., 8pm, FREE, 21+ – Michael Colavita
