Trek through the cosmic debris as Kohoutek celebrate the release of their Curious Aroma LP at PhilaMOCA this Saturday night. Available via London’s MIE Music, the band launches into epic, noise-rattled, sonic voyages. Instrumental tones (which originally seem at odds) gradually marinate; the strength of intensity permeates bending space and time into submission, momentarily seizing one’s headspace in the process. Joining in on this head trip is the almighty Brother JT, who will be making his usual human sacrifice to the rock gods. Rosali gets the night rolling, prepping the launching pad to send things out there. PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 8pm, $10, All Ages – Michael Colavita
