Two Pennsylvania DIY pop bands, Bethlehem’s Slingshot Dakota and Scranton’s Petal (fronted by Kiley Lotz with members of Tigers Jaw), will be heading out on a short Northeast tour together this week. It begins in Philly on Thursday (12/4) and hits NYC on Saturday (12/6) at Suburbia (330 Melrose in Brooklyn). The Suburbia show is headlined by hardcore ragers Ampere (ex-Orchid) who make this an excellent and very diverse bill. Clean Girls open. Tix are $5 at door. Tour flyer with all dates and Suburbia show flyer below.

Slingshot Dakota drummer Tom Patterson is also in heavy psych band Fog Cult, who just put out a self-titled EP last week. You can stream that below. Slingshot also just put out a split with Pet Symmetry that features them covering “Rise” by the reunited Rainer Maria. You can also stream that (via Absolute Punk) below.

Petal has a full length coming in 2015 via Run for Cover (details TBA). Meanwhile, stream their 2013 EP and Ampere’s latest release, this year’s Like Shadows, below…
