Chris Forsyth will be celebrating the release of his new LP Solar Motel with a free performance of the record in its entirety tonight at The Rotunda. He’ll be joined by the Solar Motel Band consisting of guitarist Paul Sukeena, bassist Peter Kerlin, and drummer Steven Urgo with keyboardist Shawn Edward Hansen, who was originally part of the studio band. They’ll also be accompanied by live video production throughout the piece from Maria Dumlao. Opening the evening with a rare Philly appearance will be Chicago’s Mind Over Mirror, the solo project of Forsyth’s Peeesseye bandmate Jaime Fennelly. All this is made possible with a grant from the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Composers Forum so take advantage of this wonderful freebie.

With all the controversy surrounding high-end department store Barneys regarding racial profiling, here’s a joint called "Heart On My Sleeve" from STS about his compulsive desire to shop (oniomania) and his issue with one of his favorite places to do it at. The single was produced by Khari Mateen. Boycott Barneys – retail is for suckas anyways!

Below is a contemplative new music video from Rosu Lup for the track "Dust & Days" that makes us long for the time when the only limits in our lives were found in our imagination. Director Francesco Gambino captures those feelings so well with the band’s standout song from the EP Currents. The group will be taking the stage of MilkBoy Philly next Thursday when they open for Yarn. Enjoy! (Photo by Doug Seymour)

Indie pop-rock four-piece Little Big League are currently in the middle of their month-long U.S. tour in support of the band’s debut LP These Are Good People (Tiny Engines). Michelle Zauner, Deven Craige, Kevin O’Halloran and Ian Dykstra will be making a stop home this evening at The Barbary when they help Glasgow trio PAWS kickoff the group’s tour, which Little Big League will be joining for a run of shows. Also on tonight’s bill is garage-pop trio Amanda X, who recently did an interview and shared a new track called "Parsnip" with Megapeng. The song was recorded in NYC at Rubber Tracks with former Dangerous Ponies and now The Weaks‘ Evan Bernard laying down the vocals and Chris Baglivo handling the mixing; however, this will not be the final version on their upcoming record. The Barbary, 951 Frankford Ave., 6:30pm, $12, All Ages – H.M.

Doylestown’s Balance and Composure premiered a new dream concept music video for their track "Tiny Raindrop," earlier this morning via Rolling Stone.

The band recently toured with Coheed and Cambria, and is schedule to do a Canadian tour in January.

Restorations recently showed The Fest why Philly’s music scene rules with some epic jams.

They are currently scheduled to perform next in Philly on Saturday, December 21 at Union Transfer for the already sold-out Early November show.
