Nicos Gun will be taking a Philly stage for the first time tonight at Johnny Brenda’s since their adventures down at SXSW. The stylish crew brought their psychedelic dance rock to the Austin festival full of aspiring “next big things”. Well, the often times exacerbating trip wasn’t all for naught because Nicos Gun did manage to catch the attention of someone from Spinner causing them to tweet, “If #sxsw is where the world meets the future, then we’d like to introduce the future to Nico’s Gun.” Now let’s see how long the future takes to catch up with Nicos Gun (without an apostrophe). South Philly locals Faux Slang (who feature former members of This Radiant Boy as well as current member of A Sunny Day in Glasgow and Pet Milk, Adam Herndon) have a self-titled vinyl/digital EP coming out on May 24 that was produced by A Sunny Day in Glasgow’s Josh Meakim. You can take a sneak peak at the first track available from the upcoming EP below. It’s a most enjoyable anthemic rocker called “Golden Throats”. Both Nicos Gun and Faux Slang will be opening this evening for Portland’s Morning Teleportation. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ (Nicos Gun Photo by Julian Mackler) – Q.D.
