Here’s a hefty local swelter of a show TONIGHT down at old reliable Midway Café in Jamaica Plain. Those shambingling sweethearts at Whitehaus Family Record are back making merry with a ususal cast of outlandish musicians.
Burly beer-guzzling crooner HURRICANES OF LOVE gets those sweet emotional juices flowing with his outrageous and mystical stories that fill ya full of graditude. He’s touring with Providence cat Camden Healy aka PLAYER 2 – a minimalist jammer that ascends into heady prog devotional territory, coasting through funky mathematical formulas written in the sky. He’ll pair nicely with Boston’s slapstick progadelic zoners CULT & LEPER. They’re going on indefinite hiatus following this show, so get your fill of synth lounge silliness before the magic evaporates. Bringing back to earth, Providence ballad bluesers LITTLEFOOT and JP lementful lover IAN add some female-fronted punch to this mixer. WFR curator CON TEX starts things off with a mad descent through noise raddled Americana hangover drones.
Lots of wild, pounding sounds to keep the heart aflutter, so get to JP and get into it.
9pm // 21+ // $5
