Tonight a new DIY spot in Allentown under the name Dreamland will be hosting a jam packed DIY show that we are really excited about. On the bill is  The Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt, a band I've personally been trying to catch since 2010, an act that's stage presence commands attention. It is high-energy, spastic, and fractured weirdo indie pop comparable to Dan Deacon leading a cult. 

Indie rapper / alt-rhymesmith / all-around-Allentown staple, Jack Toft is also on the bill playing tunes from his latest release/collab with Chauncey Tails titled (kooky azz) cartoon world. In between acts, Chauncey Tails will be djing keeping the vibe super trill. As you may remember from our early January post, Chauncey was listed as one of our top five-ish acts to watch in 2014. 

Also playing is Brattleboro, Vermont's Great Valley. The band's descriptor compares them to the "soundtrack to a children’s show version of Twin Peaks," to which I can agree and not really come up with a better alternative. Great Valley reminds me of Ariel Pink's 80's laced throwback jams.

This mega-bill also has Orlando's Michael Parallax, who's semi-sullen yet super-posi electro-pop jams are similar to that of School of Seven Bells, an upbeat xx, or a depressed Chunk of Change EP. 

Last but certainly not least is experimental Nietzsche's stalwart, Pam Swarts will be sure to bring the noise if anyone else has left it at home. Doors are a very early 5pm and donate to the out of town band fund.

Hey hey hey, are your brains and ear parts freaks with a penchant for the bizarre, but your body and limb guys are into feel-good? Because then it is, in fact, time for you to go to Cinnamon Aluminum's CD release party at the Vault tonight (702 Main St., 9PM, $7). We've previously described this Buffalo trio as a more schizoid cross between Sugarcubes and Gorillaz – borderline hypnotic sounds that manage to shatter catatonia in a Don Van Vliet kinda way, while still remaining quite danceable. Admission gets you a copy of the new album, We Ate The Wrong Crab Spirit, along with artwork et ceterra et ceterra. But also, in addition, you also get to see performances by Wooden Waves, Pamela Swarts, and Malaria Control, too. If that whole April 20^th thing is your bag, I couldn't think of a better excuse to get off the couch tonight, but this well-rounded, bonus-packed show is sure to rain psychosis down on even the levelest of minds - in a good way. Go for it!
