“It’s the End of the World (Again!)” w/S.T.A.R.W.O.O.D. at PhilaMOCA Dec. 21

As we inch ever closer toward our demise, PhilaMOCA is closing out their three-day “It’s the End of the World (Again!)” party tonight showcasing local quintet S.T.A.R.W.O.O.D., whose premise and sound befits the looming apocalypse marrying twisted space, creepy synth and keys with a rhythm section that initially lurks in the distance, before it takes flight hunting you down as you search for a safe haven. However, amid the chase, the effected vocals preached/transmitted to masses provide a sense of calm amid the chaos assuring us that some form of normalcy will be restored. This time-warped band provides a glimpse of the future as the present comes to a close. And, as an added bonus, Philly Brewing Company will provide free refreshments. PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 9pm – 11:30pm, $10, 21+ – Michael Colavita
