Echo Orbiter CD Release Party at JB’s Sept. 18

Talk about an expansive musical career that’s about to unfold in a ray of light onstage! Ever since brothers Justin and Colin Emerle formed Echo Orbiter in 1996, and put out their first two albums with the help of sound engineer virtuoso Brian McTear, they have been about doing things with a little flare. From smashing instruments on stage in a Who-like fashion to recording 2 short film scores, the brothers have certainly demonstrated their adventurous musical nature, and they have 10+ albums to document it. Tonight Echo Orbiter celebrate the release of their newest album Eupnonicmontage at Johnny Brenda’s, and it will also mark the first time the band has played a show in 9 years! Joining them on this momentous occasion will be legendary frontman of the Dead Milkmen, Joe Jack Talcum, who is currently getting ready to bring back the Milkmen for their final show of the year at World Café Live next week for the Philly F/M Fest. Also on the already unique lineup are The Circadian Rhythms, who are currently busy working on 2 new EPs of their own. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Bill McThrill
