When I Was 12, Gypsy Death and You, and Caboder at DDG April 16

Tonight at Danger Danger Gallery is the kind of bill we at the Deli like to see. Sonically, these bands are radically different but great for the same reason people like trail mix and internet porn, because variety is king. The crocheting, cupcake popsters When I Was 12 have been repeatedly struck by cupid’s arrow and somehow lived to sing about it. They just booked a six-week summer tour, so you better see them now before they take their twee folk show on the road. Warming up the crowd will be relative newcomers Gypsy Death and You who make dreamy fuzzed out indie rock that can have both no-wave and pop tendencies from song to song. The duo has been playing out a bunch and is prepping the release of a new EP according to their twitter conversation with an Indonesian fan.  Caboder who have the distinct ability to play anywhere and everywhere will be bringing their infectious slacker indie pop/rock. All these Philly bands are supporting New Jersey neighbors Slow Animal for what is sure to be a fun evening to close out Record Store Day. See you there!
