Ortlieb’s Lounge will be welcoming in some darker vibes than they’re used to when
Nothing and
Night Sins both celebrate their latest releases tonight at the jazz-friendly venue. Led by Domenic Palermo, Nothing infuses some of the aggression that its members were influenced by while growing up immersed in the local hardcore scene yet their mellowed-out shoegaze soundscapes have a breath of maturity and contemplativeness that can only be discovered amidst a lifetime of hard living, which you’ll find on their latest EP
Downward Years to Come (A389 Records). Night Sins, who are made up of musicians from Nothing,
Mother of Mercy and Salvation, have recently crept into the earphones of the Philly music community with their take on the goth/industrial sounds of yore from the band’s first full-length album,
New Grave (Avant! Records). It will certainly be a Black Friday in Ortlieb’s this evening.
Ortlieb’s, 847 N. 3rd St., 9pm, $10, 21+ - Alexis V.
