LOUDS caught me by surprise with their über-infectious debut single “Ways” - a sliver of joyous electropop at its finest, which admittedly felt more like a tease every time the track ended. Well, the Brooks brothers (Charlie & Petie) have put together a stellar group of local players, made up of Juston Stens (ex-Dr. Dog), Justin Wolf (Lux Perpetua, ex-Extraordinaire), Ryan Crump (founder of Beats, Brews & Banter), Alejandro Giraldo, and friends, to take this once studio-only production project to the next level. LOUDS will be celebrating the release of their first EP profoundly titled (with tongue-in-cheek), If More People Bought Art More People Would Buy Art, which will be released via Philly’s own Color Theory Records. They’ll also be joined by labelmates and Deli faves, The Extraordinaires, and Newark, Delaware’s FIANCÉ. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8:30pm, $10, 21+ - Q.D. Tran
