This show will be an early stop on the big co-headlining North American tour for Trauma Ray and Glixen, a mighty summit of two young novas of the surging neo-shoegaze class. Texas’ Trauma Ray have risen on the star of their moody audio-emotional duality of ether and grunge. Arizona’s Glixen, too, have rocketed to prominence with a perfected heavy/soft dynamic that’s a lullaby of noise, swerve and verve.

But this leg of the tour is especially maxed out with a strong, blade-obsessed Philadelphia pair of openers that includes the noise-infected indie-rock mood of Her New Knife and the widescreen pastoral beauty of Knifeplay. It’ll be a fully stocked evening led by some of today’s finest noise popsmiths.

6 p.m. Tuesday, April 14, The Social, foundation-presents.com $20.
