There’s something fantastic and whimsical about Grandchildren. Their arrangements are loud and encompassing – a melodically off-beat pounding of symphonic rebellion – and their live shows are just as robust. You can confirm that tonight when they perform at Johnny Brenda’s with Brooklyn’s Dinosaur Feathers and Eddie Sids (a new side project from Grandchildren’s John Vogel). And it’s important that you’re there – not only will they be playing new tunes from their upcoming album (yes, there is one finally coming folks so get ready!), they’re also kicking off their East Coast tour, which includes a stop at SXSW. It’s been awhile since you’ve experienced the pure awesomeness of Grandchildren live. Come on – you know that you need your fix! Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Annamarya Scaccia
