No Wavelength gives you fun and interesting things to do off the beaten path. Tonight they’ll be importing Detroit’s Tyvek (In the Red Records) and Reading Rainbow besties, Roanoke, VA’s Eternal Summers (Kanine Records), to South Philly’s garage/warehouse/studio space Cha-Cha’Razzi. Local trio Moon Women will be representing our hometown this evening. The post-punk outfit has created a nice buzz off of their captivating, noisy rocker “Listen Closely” and its mysteriously intriguing music video (which they made from found footage at Philadelphia Public Libraries – you can check it out below). Moon Women have a limited edition cassingle out now and will be releasing a 7” on Ian Records. They’ll also be opening for Gang of Four and Hollerado at the TLA on Saturday, February 5 so this will be a good opportunity to catch them in a more intimate setting. No Wavelength’s Grace Ambrose knows the venue maybe a little difficult to find so she suggests that you head “between 16th and 17th and Mifflin and McKean” and keep a listen for some tunes. Cha-Cha’Razzi, 1918 S. Bancroft St., 8pm, $7, All Ages (No Jerks)
