NYC Taper recently shared a rare treat that happened at this year’s Hopscotch Fest. Philly favorite sons Spacin’ and Purling Hiss joined their mighty forces on September 5, 2014 at Tir na Nog in Raleigh, North Carolina for an epic set that consisted of extended versions of 2 Spacin’ songs ("Sunshine No Shoes" & "Titchy"), 3 Purling Hiss songs ("Learning Slowly," "Run From the City," & "Almost Washed My Hair" with Mary Lattimore on harp and Steve Gunn on guitar), and a cover of MC5’s "American Ruse." You can stream and download the entire performance for free HERE. (Photo by acidjack)

A Sunny Day in Glasgow‘s Jen Goma wanted to release the group’s track, "Double Dutch," off their latest LP Sea When Absent (Lefse Records), as a single, but the rest of the gang weren’t into having a one-minute single. So what did she do? She teamed up with Luisa Conlon (who was her partner in crime for a documentary series entitled The Working Life), and made a music video for one of her favorite songs on the album. You can check it out below, and the band also announced a holiday run of shows that will conclude with a hometown New Year’s Eve performance at Boot & Saddle.

Local post-rock veterans Grimace Federation have certainly gone through many configurations over the years. Long gone are the days of their arrival at live performances as a sextet, lugging around a massive vibraphone, but with their current, more minimalist setup as a trio, the band continues to move forward, experimenting and evolving the group’s sound. This past July, Grimace Federation shared a sample of this progression in “The Measure In Mixture,” from their upcoming LP, and you’ll be able to hear more from it this evening at Union Transfer when they open for the Yoni Wolf-led indie rock outfit Why? and Minneapolis, Minnesota’s Dessa. Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden, $16, All Ages – Alexis V.

Mike Bell & The Movies recently released a full-length maxi-single CD for the track "Everyone," which originally appeared on their record Nothing Works. The new album comes with four remixes by various artists and a live recording of the single as well as live versions of previously recorded and unrecorded songs that were taken from their performance on June 14, 2014 at Self Aware Fest. A standout on their latest LP features a sugary sweet, synth-heavy collaboration between Tulsa, Oklahoma’s Sastronaut and The Daddyo’s that also came with a music video, which you can view below. The Everyone (Maxi-Single) release is available via Major Bear Records, and can be purchased and streamed HERE. Enjoy!

It seems that the fantastical journey of The Fantastic Imagination might be nearing an end. The band posted on its Facebook page: "Come see us play for the last time in a while." The Fantastic Imagination will be performing this evening at Silk City alongside the siren-esque soundscapes of Myrrias. They’ll be hosting a rare appearance by Irish noise-pop crew So Cow. I doubt that you’ll find a better place to be this Sunday night. Silk City, 435 Spring Garden St., $7, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman

Vita and the Woolf celebrate the release of their debut album Fang Song (which dropped earlier this week) this evening at Ortlieb’s. Listening to Fang Song, it becomes clear that it is a concentrated, powerful record. Jennifer Pague’s vocals exhibit strength and beauty, grabbing your ear from the start, guiding listeners through a series of songs that harness a vocally cultivated blend as its harmonious, soulful foundation. Partnering these vocals with tempo-setting keys/synth and accenting percussion, the album seems to consistently induce danceable movements, simultaneously displaying a layered potency, while maintaining a pop sensibility. They will be joined on the bill by the emotive, vocal-synth combination of Bondage & Discipline, an offshoot of The National Rifle, as well as Brooklyn pop-rockers Canon Logic. Ortlieb’s, 847 N. 3rd St., 8pm, $7, 21+ – Michael Colavita

The Clark Park Music and Arts Festival returns to the Dog Bowl for its Autumn Equinox edition. And as usual, it will have an eclectic assortment of vendors, food trucks, and kids activities to go along with a day filled with live music. This year, the fest will be partnering up with Spiral Q Puppet Theater to throw a puppet pageant parade, and there will be a food drive for Philabundance. The music lineup will feature nine local acts and Portland, Maine-based singer-songwriter Max Garcia Conover, who is currently touring in support of his new album, Ellery. Headlining the event will be Katie Frank & The Pheromones, who have been steadily gaining admirers since releasing their debut full-length Counting Your Curses earlier this year. West Philly-based folk rockers Flat Mary Road will be in support with material from their new album The Great Talk, along with folk outfit Heat Thunder, who has a new single out entitled “River Song.” Since the rain caused him to miss his performance during the Rally For Rock Fest last weekend at Franklin Square, Kuf Knotz has agreed to perform a special set, and will be armed with material from his upcoming LP, A POSITIVE LIGHT. Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy a beautiful, relaxing day outside. Clark Park, 43rd St. & Chester Ave., 12pm, Free, All Ages – H.M. Kauffman

Tonight, the ruthless instrumental surges of Mumblr storms the Golden Tea House. With the release of the group’s ambitious seventeen-song full-length album Full of Snakes (Fleeting Youth) earlier this week, the quartet casts a somewhat ominous yet tongue-in-cheek outlook on life. Developing an agitated, grunge tone through their primal attacking technique, synching jagged slivers of guitar, with anticipatory, pulse-accelerating backend and vocals that cap the message, Mumblr will be celebrating the release of the band’s LP this evening alongside Mike Bell & The Movies, who just release their "Everyone" CD single via , Philly punks Community Service, and Long Island’s Soda Bomb. Golden Tea House, (Please contact one of the acts or venue for more info.), 7:30pm, $5 Donation, All Ages – Michael Colavita
