Creepoid Open for Kid Congo at KFN Sept. 18

Showcasing a love of all things gritty and beautiful, Creepoid is arguably a little bit more than just another tally in the long list of scuzzy lo-fi acts emerging onto the scene lately. They seem to take cues from bands all the way from Velvet Underground up to dream-pop luminaries like Slowdive, adding a wash of ambient noise over steadily strumming acoustic guitars, topping it all off with generous slatherings of deep reverb. They’re currently working on a 12” tentatively scheduled for release in January on local indie label Ian Records (home to Party Photographers and dedicated to releasing only Philly artists). They are also planning to have some sort of Creepoid video for you this December with footage from their recent performance at Little Berlin (very cool venue for an outdoor concert – just watch out for the crazy drunk Kensington neighbors on the way in). They’ll be opening for Kid Congo, who was a guitarist for Nick Cave, The Cramps, and Gun Club. Rounding out the show is raspy-voiced troubadour Boog. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 7:30 pm, $10, 21+ – Joe Poteracki
