The week can really hold you down. When Friday finally rolls around, you’re ready to break out and embrace that groove train. If that’s the case, punch your ticket at Underground Arts this evening. Celebrating the release of their new record, The Octopus!, Johnny Showcase & The Mystic Ticket invite you on their psychedelic spaceship of funk. Horn–charged blasts ignite the soulful get down. The cool, calm and collected dance-rock of Minka, whose sound is bathed in the waters of Bowie & Byrne, turns up the heat. Dishing out their customary dose of Balkan brass, The West Philadelphia Orchestra lifts a traditional sound with an exuberant modern feel, and to top this off, none other than Miss Martha Graham Cracker. Underground Arts, 1100 Callowhill St., 8pm, $13, 21+ – Michael Colavita
