Musical Unity w/Univox at JB’s June 26

Philly’s own Univox will be the direct support for LA’s Hanni El Khatib this evening at Johnny Brenda’s. The quartet plays wild bluesy punk, moody rockabilly, Beatles-inspired boppy vintage pop, and heavy-hearted alternative rock. Exactly. This band can rock your face off, get your feet moving, or pull at your teenage heartstrings so bad your chest will explode. In the vein of White Denim, this foursome explores the great expanse of musical genres, and succeeds at every attempt. A true alliance, Univox members all play, sing, and write, and have proven themselves as masters of each and every one of their crafts whether it be White Stripe-y wailing electric axes, contemporary Airborne Toxic Event motorcycle punk rock, or sad and angsty 90s grunge, like lead track “Pi” written by Univoxer Joseph Bonaventure III at age 16. Come by JB’s and check out a rocking display of musical union and versatility! Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Jules Friedland
