Ghost punk involutioners Northern Liberties have always put on intense shows. As Kevin Riley’s bass and Marc Duerr’s drums distort the senses, Justin Duerr writhes and pounds away on his percussions in a turret of tattooed fury, but at Johnny Brenda’s this Friday, they plan to take it up a notch by unveiling a new 30 minute long song called Suffocation, which will be available on a limited edition 12” vinyl. This will be its official debut live performance, and the band currently plans to only play it one other time so don’t miss out on one of those nights that people talk about how you should’ve been there!

Also on the bill are local punk folk darlings Mischief Brew who are always incredible live, but before they play Johnny Brenda’s, they’ll be dropping in at The Fire for a special all ages acoustic set. Johnny Brenda’s 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9 PM, $10 myspace.com/northernliberties
