Catnaps Are Well-rested Now at PhilaMOCA Sept. 2

Local melodic indie twee outfit Catnaps (formerly When I Was 12) has certainly had a chance to experience life on the road this summer. But I have feeling performing their infectiously catchy tunes from Why Don’t You Whisper? every evening has only brought the four-piece closer together. (Oh no, cuddle party!) The band has since returned and is getting back into the Philly groove by playing this year’s Clark Park Fall Equinox Festival as well as one of the first shows to hit the Milkboy Philly. But before those appearances, they’ll be performing tonight at one of our favorite hidden local gems, PhilaMOCA. Catnaps will be joined by Philly jangly pop outfit Burberry Possums and the spacey, ethereal Shawn Rosenblatt, otherwise known as Netherfriends – the artist who is best known for spending an entire year writing and recording a song and performing in all 50 states. He also picked-up some Philly folks to join him along the way. PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 8pm, $7 – $10 donation, All Ages (Photo by Melissa Cell) – Bill McThrill
