Embace the slow-bake of this summertime weather, and come to Vox Populi this Sunday! After releasing The Deli Philly’s June Record of the Month and her last album as a Philly resident, Megan Biscieglia, a.k.a. Bad Braids, will be saying farewell (for now) by serenading us with that powerful angelic voice and her mystical compositions, as she gets ready to set sail for sunny, beautiful (drought-ridden) California. This will obviously be bittersweet. Well, our favorite garage-psych rockers Spacin’ will cut through all that with their live-now-while-you-can rock anthems. They’ll be playing host to Young Widows frontman Evan Patterson, whom performs under the moniker Jaye Jayle, and the shadowy fantasy-pop drone of Zell Row, a.k.a. Amanda Martinez, will be kicking things off. Vox Populi Gallery, 319 N. 11th St., 3rd Floor, 8pm, All Ages – Q.D. Tran
