Damien DeRose, a.k.a Peasant, has gained critical acclaim for his previous two releases, especially the highly regarded Shady Retreat. But the upcoming follow-up, Bound for Glory might be Peasant’s most complete and multi-layered release to date (it has already gained DeRose some airtime on BBC Radio and MTV Studios). When he celebrates the album’s release at World Café Live tonight, it will also be the local debut of his new full band lineup that features members of Former Belle and Sparta Philharmonic. This will also be Former Belle’s final local show before heading out on a European tour, so it will be a good time to hear some of the new material that they’ve been recording in the studio. The evening will also feature a rare acoustic solo performance from Chris Archibald of Illinois. World Café Live, 3025 Walnut St., 8pm, $10 + processing fees, all ages – Bill McThrill
