Catnaps (formerly When I Was 12) make tunes about falling in and out of love that simply remind me of my first kiss over and over again. But like all first kisses, they eventually have to end, and I wish that I had their full-length album Why Don’t You Whisper? to help get me through that time period, well, when I was twelve. The local twee four-piece will get their chance to woo the audience at Johnny Brenda’s tonight when they open for the “bright and vivid” Kathryn Calder from The New Pornographers and Absolutely Kosher’s Himalayan Bear. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
