Invisible Things

Thu., Sept. 6, 11 p.m., free, with Bad News Bats and Arc in Round (DJing), Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St.

Invisible Things is only two men, but they erect a daunting wall of noise. Break through, however, and you’ll find an intensely variegated landscape within the psych-noise squall of their debut, Home IS the Sun. The duo in question is guitarist Mark Shippy, veteran of rock demolitionists U.S. Maple and Shorty, and drummer Jim Sykes, late of Grooms and Parts and Labor, who also happens to be an ethnomusicologist who spent time studying percussion in Sri Lanka. The album unfolds as one long track, so prepare to simply lose yourself within the whirlpooling sound. 

Thu., Sept. 6, 11 p.m., free, with Bad News Bats and Arc in Round (DJing), Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 215-291-4919, kungfunecktie.com.
