Guerilla Toss

New York City may be famous for its pizza and Broadway — but what about its acid rock? Guerilla Toss will certainly have you believing in the power of trippy New York rock ’n’ roll at The Rock Room, with a sound that billows and twists, and lyrics that leave you seeing in Technicolor. The bands on the bill make this a journey of several genres, with bands IT IT, a conglomerate of field recordings with post-punk influences; hardcore punkers Microwaves; and Plastic Idea, with its dreamy 1980s-production-style influence totaled out with riffy hooks. This is the perfect mashup for a weird Friday night in Pittsburgh. - Emily Bennett
