Ape School, Grandchildren and The Armchairs at The Ox March 6

I saw the sun today, and I didn’t know how to handle it. Things were going so well between us then BAM, gone, no note, no bread train, not even a pair of panties to remember her by. This morning she woke me up though, and I knew it was a sign of spring. Another tell tale sign came when I found out that feel good rockateers Ape School are coming to The Ox tonight. If you are into breezy melodies, laser show-ready synths and charged guitar riffs then this elephant 6-style outfit will fit just right. This show gets even more stacked with the addition of electro-folk wunderkinds Grandchildren. They combine an exciting mix of acoustics, live and produced drums, and crisp samples to create spastic and enamoring pop tunes. Their style recalls the summery jams of Panda Bear and D.C. crew Le Loup. These guys will hopefully blow up soon, but are definitely one of Philly’s best-kept secrets. But wait! There’s more! The proverbial whiz on this fine cheese steak is newly initiated Punk Rock Payroll’s The Armchairs. Their live show rides high on quickie gems that leave you both scratching and bobbing your head. It sounds like a really bizarre indie circus with Gordan Gano as the right leader. Make sure not to miss out on what will be a truly fun evening! The Ox, 2nd and Oxford St., 7pm, $5 donation, All AgesAdam G.
