Get Your FREAKOUT!

If bubbles are hovering over your head and your ears are hurting from loud Stooges/Kinks-inspired garage rock, then you are definitely at the Philly FREAKOUT!. The fourth installment of the psychedelic rock series with the Herschell Gordon Lewis/Russ Meyer aesthetics features the Tombeat Consortium spinning '60s garage and screening rare, strange video between performances. Making its fourth appearance at PFO will be local mainstays Mondo Topless, grinding through a set of loud, fast and stupid rock 'n' roll. Also appearing will be Thee Minks, The Young Werewolves and Cincinnati's The Greenhornes. As always, PFO will move you to shake your booty. The go-go dancing contest is open to all comers (and genders). Top prize is two tickets to The Cramps show at the Troc five days later.

Philly FREAKOUT!, Sat., May 10, 8 p.m., $8, The Balcony, 1003 Arch St., 215-922-LIVE.
