Weird Hot Album Release Party at JB’s June 2

Weird Hot will be celebrating their album release party tonight at Johnny Brenda’s. The group was started by songwriter/producer Shawn Kilroy in 2011 after a string of solo releases in an effort to be able to replicate the layers of his previous works in a live setting. The new album is entitled Million Dollar Movie, and is the second LP by the group. On their latest effort, you’ll find Kilroy giving the band a little more creative freedom in the studio, as well as experimenting with influences from 70’s film scores, creating an eclectic mix of sounds pulling from genres like art rock, psychedelic folk, goth and even funk to get the crowd moving this evening. Come out and get weird! Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave, $10, 8 p.m., 21+ – Dan Brightcliffe
