While most of South Street seems be overrun with boardwalk-esque joints and empty storefronts these days, some much-needed rock will be injected into the once vibrant but now long gone former epicenter of Philly’s art community. Though Creepoid might have temporarily set up camp in Savannah, Georgia, their roots run way to deep in the city to not think of tomorrow evening’s performance at the TLA as a homecoming show. The transient crew has had more time to gel as a unit since the inception of Far-Out Fangtooth guitarist, Nick Kulp, to the band so expect the jams to get out there. They’ll be opening for Doylestown alt rockers Balance and Composure, who will be playing their last show in the U.S. before closing out the rest of the month on tour in Europe. South Street, you need this night. TLA, 334 South St., 8pm, $19, All Ages – Alexis V.
