Rockabilly soul rebels Low Cut Connie have a triumphant return from tour to play a jam-packed lineup at Underground Arts tonight. And they’ll be fully prepared to showcase why their latest album Call Me Sylvia has been earning them so much buzz. Low Cut Connie will be joined by the cousins of St. James & The Apostles who will be playing their last Philly show as a power trio before they test out the waters performing with an extended lineup that features Ang Bocca of Ang & the Damn Band and Jeff White of Arctic Splash at Johnny Brenda’s on August 17. Rounding out the lineup will be the effervescent indie rock tunes of Shark Tape. Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St, 5pm, $10, 21+ - Bill McThrill

St. James & The Apostles celebrate the release of their latest recording Baphomet tonight at Johnny Brenda’s. The group of cousins, fronted by former The Three 4 Tens/Marah/Asteroid #4/Mondo Topless member Jamie Mahon, approaches the concept of a power trio from a psychedelic garage rock perspective. Mike Kiker incorporates organ and key-bass creating a funky blues groove à la The Doors. The three-headed battering ram delivers an unadulterated heaviness developing a depth that isn’t determined by decibels but through the inner-core conviction in their performance. They’ll be joined by Shawn Kilroy’s Weird Hot and Joey Sweeney’s Artic Splash. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ - Michael Colavita
