The Hot Horse! label on Fletcher Street created a monster in Creeping Weeds. Ever since their four-song EP I found the C-Weeds totally Pavement-esque. With one difference: Creeping Weeds are actually good. They're effervescent. Persnickety. Have an odd panache about them. And their full-length debut, We Are All Part of a Dream You're Having, jumps from hosting contagious songs with lumpy stomped beats and pastel-toned acoustic guitars to muzzy space rockers filled with dream-time singing. I'll even tolerate their didgeridoo on "I Wanted to Live (Die)."

Fri., Jan. 26, 9 p.m., $8, with Walker Lundee, Future Tips and The Jerk, Johnny Brenda's, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 866-468-7619, www.johnnybrendas.com.
