Last night, Portland bluegrass group Black Prairie – which features members of The Decembersists, The Woolwines and Dolorean – performed at MilkBoy Philly. Witty troubadour John Wesley Harding opened the show with a short solo set, then collaborated with Black Prairie on several songs during their set. Check out a photo recap of the evening in the gallery above.
Local rock ‘n’ roll trio Lantern headline Johnny Brenda’s tonight. Self-described as “proto-biker-punk-blues,” the one thing that will strike any listener upon diving into 2012′s Dream Mine EP (Bathetic) for the first time is the sheer amount of blown-out fuzz and noise that distorts the classically punk vocals of front-man Zachary Devereux Fairbrother. Citing influences as surprising as early folk and blues and as obvious as early rock ‘n’ roll and ’60s-’70s punk, Lantern’s music is a combustion of nitty gritty Americana. Tickets and information for tonight’s 21+ show with Dong Johnson and Amanda X can be found here. Below, watch the video for “Train Song.”
