It’s fuckin’ pourin’ out! But you should definitely still join the rest of the denim-clad longhairs ready to rock tonight at Golden Tea House. Purling Hiss will be going back to their DIY roots headlining the West Philly house show this evening. You’ll also find Mike Bell & The Movies celebrating the release of their latest album. (Wait . Isn’t this like their third record release celebration for the same album – the second of this year!?! I guess that they’re getting some serious mileage out of it.) Perry Shall’s metal outfit Hound (who also just dropped its new LP Out of Time today) and twee-tinged rock gals Marge will be holding things down as well. Get wet – it will be worth it! Golden Tea House, (Please contact guildshows@gmail.com for more info.), 8pm, $5 – $7, All Ages – Alexis V.
