Northerns Arms just shared a theatrically emotive new music video for their track "Below the Pines." It was directed by David Kain. The single will be part of the band’s forthcoming self-titled LP, due out June 17 via BITBY.

With the release of their album Solarists quickly approaching ( due out July 22 via New Atlantis Records), Haitian Rail, one of the numerous creative outlets of Nick Millevoi (Many Arms), which also features Edward Ricart (Hyrrokkin) on bass, trombonist Dan Blacksberg (Deveykus), and Kevin Shea (Mostly Other People Do The Killing) behind the kit. Solarist’s initial song “Trembler” recently premiered via Brooklyn Vegan, and is a combination of experimental jazz/noise rock whose instrumental interplay may require multiple passes to wrap your head around. As a side note, Many Arms is set to perform a late night (record release) bill this Friday, June 6 at Kung Fu Necktie that also features Space Whale Orchestra and Chris Forsyth.

Univox‘s Josh Jones will be performing his new solo material tonight at PhilaMOCA opening for Chicago lo-fi crooner Jimmy Whispers. For those out there wondering when you’ll be hearing from Univox again, it doesn’t sound like any time soon or at all so this evening will be your best opportunity to hear Jones’ captivating baritone vocals. When I ran into him at our last Deli-sponsored event with Night Panther, Pattern is Movement and Commonwealth Choir, Jones indicated that the band is done. Below is a wrestling-themed promotional video for tonight’s main event, starring Univox drummer Kent Boersma. Also battling on the bill this evening will be garage-psych outfit Time Hitler and the Assholes From Space. PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 8pm, $7 – $10 Donation, All Ages – Q.D. Tran

Modern Baseball played two extremely sold-out shows at The Barbary on Sunday to kickoff their headlining tour with Tiny Moving Parts, The Hotelier, and Sorority Noise. The crowd was amped for all the opening bands, jumping and singing along. This was especially true for The Hotelier, who didn’t play their crowd favorite Avril Lavigne cover, but did give a shout out to local booker and scene staple Ruben Polo, who is putting on a three-day festival in August, two days of which are happening at The Barbary. The Modern Baseball set was wild and fun despite the fact that singer-guitarist Brendan Lukens was playing in some cut off pajama pants with a nasty case of pneumonia. He is so sick that he will be missing the first part of the tour, but Cameron Boucher of opening band Sorority Noise, as well as Old Gray, will be filling in. The talented Jessica Flynn was on hand to take pictures of the whole shebang. Check out the entire album HERE.

Burlington transplants Hello Shark have found their way to Philly, and we are happy to welcome them with open arms. Linc Halloran delivers quirky lyrics and vocals that find spaces filled with reminders of David Byrne and the Violent Femmes.

Co-headlining the evening will be psych-punk outfit Seismic Thrust and Chicago power-popsters Clearance.

So, Mondays can be a real drag, but Bourbon & Branch might have that doctor recommended musical remedy with its lineup this evening. With their seductively sleazy, retro-rockin’, guitar-heavy, locomotive-style selections, Lantern will knock you out of that new-week stupor, sweating layers of grit and grim, while laying down blazing guitar lines and remaining accessible in that T-Rex tradition. Speaking of accessible, the multi-genre, melodic, psych experience of The Interest Group will also be providing a much-needed dose of male-female vocals, serving as a calming force with their ironed-out, crisp compositions. Midwesterners State Champion round out the bill in NoLibs newest music venue. Bourbon & Branch, 705 N. 2nd St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
