DIY scene faves The Goodbye Party will escape West Philly next month and head out on the road for a short tour. The project of DC-bred singer-guitarist Michael Cantor (also of The Ambulars), the bad released its Silver Blues LP on Salinas Records just over a year ago, and turned heads at Union Transfer last March opening for scene friends Waxahatchee. 

The band’s current lineup features Chrissy Tashjian of Thin Lips, Sam Cook-Parrot of Radiator Hospital, and Joey Doubek of Pinkwash, and whether you’re listening on record or watching them live, you’ll notice hints of Guided by Voices, The Beach Boys and The Weakerthans.
