Funtimes, Philly hip-hop crew Plastic Little are re-emerging tonight at Underground Arts, turning the hands of time back for myspacing mid-aughts gallery dwellers. The group, originally consisting of Jayson Musson (Hennessy Youngman, PackofRats), Kurt Hunte (No Body’s Child), Si Young Lee (DJ Si Young), Michael Stern (SQUID), and Jon Folmar (Jon Thousand), last performed in 2010 at Kung Fu Necktie, and has most recently garnered public attention through controversy over an unauthorized sample from their track "Miller Time" (below) in Bauer’s 2012 viral sensation "Harlem Shake." All was eventually smoothed over after Diplo helped to resolve things for his Mad Decent artist, with an agreed upon compensation deal. Plastic Little will be headlining the Red Bull Sound Select event (which you can register to get a reduced $3 admission HERE), being curated by Jump Philly. They’ll also be joined by no strangers to the art gallery music scene Sweatheart and retro psych-pop purveyors Needle Points with Gun$ Garcia spinning throughout the evening. Undeground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St., 8pm, $10, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman

Hip-hop fans will be treated to an evening of young talent tonight at Kung Fu Necktie. While I was disappointed to learn that Gliss‘ High on a Weekday won’t be available anytime soon, we will get a chance to hear live versions of the songs that he’s been working on. I also learned that he’ll be the opener for Dock Street Brewery’s annual closing event for Philly Beer Week, joining Grandchildren and West Philadelphia Orchestra. Gliss will be sharing the stage this evening with emcee, producer and La Salle University baller Taylor Dunne, who is currently working on his fourth mixtape scheduled for release this summer, and brash newcomer Kylledge, who caught our attention towards the end of last year with Drugs Women Music. Rounding out the bill will be Miami, Florida’s Lil Raw. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 7pm, $7, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman

Hezekiah Jones (a.k.a. Raph Cutrufello) wrote and produced a couple of new tracks, "The Mermaid Song," an ethereal siren call, and "Skeleton Army," an instrumental old-world, Eastern European waltz, for a project entitled Slice of Life, "a multi-media adventure about a princess who must team up with her unfaithful lover in order to stop the Queen from destroying the earth’s life force." He was also assisted in production by Kevin Killen and Philip D’Agostino. Ease yourself into the workday this morning. (Photo by Lisa Schaffer)

Here’s a lazy-day new music video for the track "It’s Beautiful" from Dan Svizeny, whom might be better known to you as Cough Cool. You can find the song on his latest EP Daniel Anton Svizeny, which is available via Mirror Universe Tapes. The video was directed by Max Gardner with art direction by Rachel Rinehart.

Philly Tapes Philly is back with a new collaborative cassette release. Their inaugural tape included contributions from Commonwealth Choir and Big Tusk. This time around, they tapped into the catalogues of Weekender and Delco Pacers, who have recorded each other’s material on analog format. You’ll also get to experience the songs live this evening at Ortlieb’s when both acts come together to celebrate the release of Philly Tapes Philly Volume 2: Weekend in Delco, which will be given out for free to the first fifty in attendance. Ortlieb’s, 847 N. 3rd St., 9pm, Free, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman

Fledgling all-female indie-popsters Marge continues to search for their voice on the group’s latest seven-song EP Not Bad. The album was recorded last month by Dan Angel and James Ryskalchick at West Philly’s Sex Dungeon, and you can hear an obvious improvement in production on their most recent offering. Check out a more polished version of "Will I Am" below!

Psalmships (a.k.a. Joshua Britton) stopped by Kettle Pot Tracks towards the end of last year to record an On the Hill Session. Below is a video of him performing "Every Day Is a Widow," which will be on his upcoming album I Sleep Alone. You’ll also find an impassioned rendition of "Yven," off 2008’s Sings Like A Priest. Psalmships will be performing in the area on Saturday May 3 at Newtown Square’s Burlap and Bean with Hezekiah Jones. (Photo by Mike Batchelor)
