Philly’s Creepoid was briefly Savannah’s Creepoid, recording 2015’s swirling, spaced out Cemetery Highrise Slum down South. The band picked a good time of year to swing back down in exile of the bracing back nine of northeastern U.S. winter. (Pennsylvanians know: Punxsutawney Phil is full of it.) But as flu season crossfades into allergy season, Creepoid’s noisy congestion and slow-melting melodies are a decent fit, the sort of swampy, swollen, psychedelic shoegaze that sounds the way NyQuil feels. The snowbirds make their first appearance in Athens sharing a bill with locals Grand Vapids, The Powder Room and Blue Blood.
