Eat Your Birthday Cake recently unveiled an incendiary revamped sound. The first recording to feature their new sonic exploration, Enemies (which you can listen to in its entirety HERE), just dropped earlier this week and sets the ambiance for a summer of listening to sweet jams during road trips perfectly. To celebrate the release, Cloud Entertainment and the band will be breaking out the grills and hosting a block party on Mercer Street in Fishtown. It will feature plenty of veggie options, free juice from FUZE, live mural painting, and the projector + landscape music of Switzerland’s B Tong. But the afternoon wouldn’t be complete without more fine tunes that will be provided by Best Westerns who features members of Conversations with Enemies, The Wayfairs, The Josh and Pete Band, and Eat Your Birthday Cake. The lineup will also include the down home sounds of North Lawrence Midnight Singers, the soulfully unapologetic rock of Satellite Hearts, Derek Krzywicki of Cheers Elephant, and so much more. Enemies Central, 219 Mercer St., 1pm – 8:30pm, FREE, All Ages
