The trio of Eight is scheduled to open Saturday’s show at the First Unitarian Church, which also includes Frankie Cosmos and All Dogs. The fledgling outfit is fronted by Mimi Gallagher (Year Of Glad, ex-Nona) and Cat Park (Amanda X, Bandname), and just shared its self-titled debut EP. The album offers a ripping glimpse at this new configuration, oozing with attitude and armed with a heavy bite, while constantly in motion.

HiSoft delivered the melodic goods on 2006 debut Amateur, uniting bass-thumping grooves and rich harmonies that wash over your ears in a floating, casual, psych-folk-focused manner. In a flash, just like the dreamy state the music induced, it was gone. Then, toward the backend of the summer, a new song “State Police” appeared, and the fire was rekindled. But for how long? Tonight, HiSoft, led by Gerhardt Koerner (ex-Lilys, ex-The Sound of Kaleidoscope), emerges to headline Boot & Saddle. In support, Quentin Stoltzfus’s Light Heat continues to produce new material, recently dropping the EP The Silver Light of the Late Night before their highly anticipated show with Lillys. The ever present Don Devore is working double-duty, kicking the show off. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita

Wake ‘n’ bake, y’all! Below is a new music video from emcee/producer/artist Dewey Decibel for the track "Ashtray," featuring fellow Philly cohort Rone. It’s the first single from his upcoming EP Sub Cult, which is due out November 27. The footage was shot and edited by fPat Murray.

Daytrotter just posted their session with locals Palmas yesterday. The recording took place at Room 17 in Brooklyn. You can take a listen to a couple of the tracks from the session for free, and the whole performance is available for streaming and download HERE (w/membership). (Illustration by Johnnie Cluney)

The chill appears to have the upper hand in the seasonal weather battle. Some choose to go into hibernation mode; others temporarily avoid the freeze via a vacation. You won’t need to travel far for Family Vacation this evening at Boot & Saddle. The quartet marinates their sound, allowing the instrumental flavor to develop and intermingle. Those bold long-haul vibes marry with a casual sea breeze air comforting in its wistful nostalgia. One’s mind wanders between moments of formidable current. The ebb and flow of relaxed impassioned and clean instrumental flourishes frame New Jersey math rockers Black Dirty. Four-piece Brackish, who recently released a new EP Young People, tear into momentous pop punk. Old Head rounds out this billing with subdued yet explosive instrumental runs. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 7:30pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita

A Sunny Day in Glasgow recent surprised us with the double EP Planning Weed Like It’s Acid/Life Is Loss, which is now available for streaming at Hype Machine, and will be officially released on November 13. The band also has a pro wrestling-centric music video for the track "Hey, You’re Mine." It features member of the OTW Pro Wrestling, and was created by bandmate Jen Goma, Tyler Flowers, and Jon Cooper. The bi-continental outfit will be performing next in Philly on New Year’s Eve at Johnny Brenda’s.

Cold Fronts make us long for the beach days of summer in their latest lyric video for "Radio." The battle between Man vs. Waves was directed by CJ Harvey. You can find the track on the band’s new LP Forever Whatever, which is available via Sire Records.

Bluesy psychedelic four-piece, The Mysteries have issued a self-titled release. With an organ/key-directed spin, this crew is channeling a strong Doors influence, leading the way toward a cavernous setting that is dimly lit and ominous, while surprisingly loose. Venture into the void, and see what you discover.

Rare MP3s, a record label, production, mixing and mastering collective, started by Noah Beresin, a.k.a. Noah Breakfast/formerly Xaphoon Jones of Chiddy Bang, and Ryan Schwabe, have been consistently releasing rad new tracks for months now. And tonight, they’ll be providing us with a stacked bill at the TLA. Head co-conspirator Noah Breakfast will be kicking things off, and setting the tone for the evening of grooves and beats. You’ll also find homies Diamond Kuts and Swizzymack helping to warm things up before the one-two combination of genre-defying sound sculptor Hudson Mohawke and Grammy-winning R&B artist/producer The-Dream. So what if it’s a Tuesday – fuel up with some tacos and work it off on South St.! Theatre of Living Arts, 334 South St., 7:30pm, $20, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman

Jordyn Kramer, a.k.a. The Jordyn Show, gets a little needy and psycho in her new music video for the single "Sweet Lies." However, with Kramer’s sultry vocals, down-to-get-down beats, and I-could-kill-you-or-make-you-cum-really-hard glances, we’re willing to take that chance on a future restraining order. Jordyn, FaceTime us – ok? 😉
