Japan’s premier krautrock band Nayuta perform a very rare West Philly house show concert tonight when they play at Eris Temple Arts. And they’ll be backed by an eclectic lineup of local artists. In a short amount of time after the release of their debut album, Nothing Works, Mike Bell & the Movies have become a buzz-worthy power pop band. And when a group features members of acts like Dangerous Ponies, Bandname, and Algernon Cadwallader with the lead singer ballsy enough to get punched and slapped in the face for the sake of shooting an original music video, it’s well-deserved. And their live performances feature that same kind of unbridled energy. Previous winners of our Featured Artist(s) Poll, Forever Lesbians will also show you why they’re ready to gain a following when they play songs from their latest album Love, Respect & Wisdom. Rounding out the lineup will be Lancaster punks 1994! and Blue Smiley. Eris Temple Arts, 602 2. 52 St., 8pm, $5-$7 Donation, All Ages – Bill McThrill
