Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band have been crafting some of the finest psych-rock-meets-art-rock jams coming out of Philly, and their live performances have also become must-attend events. Though I was sad to hear that guitarist Paul Saukeena (Spacin’, ex-Spooks) had left the band, it was comforting to learn that alien shredder Nick Millevoi has officially joined the group. Those of you who have been keeping up with the local avant-garde music scene should already know the talent that Millevoi possesses. So I’m excited to hear what the next generation of Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band will sound like live this evening at Johnny Brenda’s where they’ll be supported by Baltimore’s Horse Lords and Chicago’s Mind Over Mirrors. Below is a taste of it from their session with Relix. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Alexis V.
