Tomorrow night, Kurt Vile (Philadelphia), Wooden Shjips, and Young Prisms play the Hemlock Tavern (9pm, $10).
Kurt Vile creates a previously undiscovered thin line between Springsteenesque rock and bedroom psych-pop. The member of War on Drugs turned solo with Constant Hitmaker and continues to garner attention with his Matador debut, Childish Prodigy, out earlier this month.

Kurt Vile – “Hunchback”
Opening the show is SF lo-fi psych-pop band Young Prisms, whose first EP was released this month by Mexican Summer for digital download and on a 12″. They’ll be playing the label’s CMJ showcase, and were recently named a “must-hear artist” by SPIN.
