The fact that PhilaMOCA is hosting its first R5 Productions show tonight is a pretty big deal all around, especially since it will be headlined by current indie sensations Parquet Courts (note: hopefully you got your tickets early, but if not be prepared because this one will be SUPER packed!!!). And buzz-worthy artists Scott & Charlene’s Wedding and Household should make it even more of a killer show. But the sole hometown band on the lineup, Amanda X, isn’t to be missed either. You might have come across Cat Park when she performs as part of the fast-paced power rock trio Bandname. But her new all-female rock three-piece (which suitably debuted on Halloween) is an impressive act, which channels pleasant memories of Sleater Kinney. And with them set to play bigger shows like Ladyfest Philly over the summer, you’ll definitely be hearing more from them in the future. So consider tonight a refresher course.
