My Lord, call the dentist!

Mix two bands whose names involve a mouth structure, along with a band that sounds like an exclamation one would shout, and you get the Baby Teeth, Oh My God, and Their Teeth Will Be Of Lions show at The Strutt on Friday.

Indie rock bands Baby Teeth and Oh My God both hail from Chicago.
Their Teeth Will Be Of Lions, whose latest EP “The Death… The Reincarnation… And Unfamiliar Tales” was released in March through Truth and Justice Records, is a local experimental rock band.

Phillip Andreadis, who is a barista at The Strutt and is the brother of Baby Teeth drummer and vocalist, Peter Andreadis, has seen each of these bands play before. Baby Teeth last performed at The Strutt in May.

“Each [performance] has been a good show, I know that,” Andreadis said.
“I’m expecting [this performance] to be another good show.”
This concert will mark the first time each band will play on the Strutt’s new stage, located on the café side of the building.

“It’s going to be exciting because none of the bands have played on the new stage,” Andreadis said. “It will be fun.”

This will also be the first time that Their Teeth Will Be Of Lions will play at the café/bar under its new name.
The Strutt was formally known as Dino’s.

“For The Strutt, I hope there’s a lot of people here, because I want to bring them business,” said Glennerd Willis, vocalist of Their Teeth Will Be Of Lions and local super group Bismuth. “For the out of town bands, I hope there’s a lot of people here so it’s worth their time.”

Willis is optimistic about the upcoming show.
Their Teeth Will Be Of Lions has a good following in Kalamazoo, he said.
Their Teeth Will Be Of Lions will also be performing first, which, according to Willis, is a change since the band usually plays last when billed with other bands.

“As long as there are a handful of people into it, I’m energized,” Willis said. “I feed off people.”

Oh My God, whose latest album “The Night Undoes The Work Of The Day” came out Tuesday through Red Distribution, is glad to be playing with fellow Chicago band, Baby Teeth, again, according to Oh My God organist and vocalist Ig.

“We always play good with Baby Teeth,” Ig said.
“We always have good competition… We really make a great bill together.”

Baby Teeth’s latest album, “Hustle Beach,” was released in July through Lujo Records.

The show starts at 10 p.m. Tickets are $5, and there will be food and drink specials.
