Let it all out this Thursday at The Hideout! CHIRP Radio presents Purling Hiss with Heavy Times and AXIS: SOVA. This show is destined to be a whirlwind of crashing, screaming guitars, hypnotizing melodies and a whole lot of sass.
Purling Hiss, the headlining band, hail from Philly and was started by guitarist and songwriter Mike Polizze in 2009 as a solo project with his self-released, self-titled CD-R. Polizze continued to play around the Philly indie scene with the likes of Kurt Vile and the War on Drugs while continuing to develop Purling Hiss songs in his basement studio. Following his debut recordings, he went on to release records with various indie labels before expanding the band into a trio in 2013 before recording Water on Mars, their first album together. Purling Hiss has since developed a sound that draws from '60s, '70s, and '80s rock to create their own sound of spiraling rhythm and pounding guitar.
Also performing are the bands Heavy Times and AXIS: SOVA. Heavy Times is a Chicago-based band that boasts a grungy pop sound with unexpected torrents of punk verve. Their absorbing sound and crushing melodies are sure to knock you out of reality.
AXIS: SOVA is comprised of solo guitarist Brett Sova. His songs have been described as “beautifully junky, skewed surf-rock as projected through a rust belt prism, complete with hummable hooks and scorching guitar pyrotechnics” (The Decibel Tolls) and “eerie and beautiful, dark and buoyant” (Adhoc).
With tickets priced at only $8, you won’t want to miss out on this electric show! The doors open Thursday, March 27 at 8pm and the show begins at 9pm. Learn more and get your tickets here!
