The Whips Opening for The Mystery Lights at Ortlieb’s Dec. 1

Fitting nicely on the Burger Records roster, garage rockers The Whips recently dropped their new full-length album Roots Rock Element, whose title holds true as a descriptor. The band features Far-Out Fangtooth‘s Joe Kusy and The Tough Shits‘s James Horn. The group already has plans to release another album this January via Philly indie label Suicide Bong Tapes. They’ll be rockin’ ‘n’ a rollin’ this evening at Ortlieb’s alongside like-minded brethren Brooklyn’s The Mystery Lights and locals Los Calzones. It’s a Tuesday night bill for the kids who too cool to show up school and work tomorrow. Ortlieb’s, 847 N. 3rd St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Alexis V.
