Philly’s own electro pop ensemble Grandchildren are taking over The Ox tonight. It will be their first Philly show in 2011. It was a big 2010 for these guys with the release of their stellar long-awaited debut LP Everlasting, a quickly growing fan base and plenty of media love. Hopefully this year will only bring more success to these guys. And maybe even some new music? Grandchildren’s live show is not to be missed, and if you have yet to catch them live you are in for a treat. The band’s technical proficiency is a sight to be seen and the rotating stage setup highlights their LP’s diverse but always captivating songs. The multiple drum kits drive the set while band leader Aleks Martray sits back with his acoustic guitar adding his touches to the hypnotic soundscapes. I had the pleasure of seeing Grandchildren play The Ox for our Best of Philly Showcase 2010. It was a tight fit on the stage, and their sound could barely be contained within the warehouse space. Looking forward to hearing them through The Ox’s newish sound system! The Ox, (you should already know or ask a friend), 8pm, $5, All Ages – Adam G.
