What started as a decade-plus long friendship between Randy Randall of Los Angeles’ No Age and the supercharged drummer behind Pissed Jeans, Sean McGuiness, has seen their paths cross multiple times throughout many US and UK tours, even becoming Sub Pop labelmates. After joking about forming a band together, they formally did so when McGuiness traveled to Los Angeles to work on a new album. The end result is the ultra loud smash-mouth West Coast-East Coast outfit Rat Fist, which makes their Philly debut at Space 1026 tonight. They’ll be joined by Dark Blue, the latest project from Clockcleaner’s John Sharkey III, Andy Nelson (Paint It Black, Ceremony, etc.), and Mike Sneeringer (Purling Hiss, The Loved Ones). The evening will also feature a unique blend of comedy from The New Dreamz. Space 1026, 1026 Arch St., 8pm, $10, All Ages – Bill McThrill
