POPO, Philly’s fraternity of Pakistani punks who not only embarked on an impressive tour with Nine Inch Nails in 2007 but also did a stint at this year’s SXSW for Mad Decent’s official showcase, take the gritty industrial influence and pair it with an eastern-inspired beachy rock, which you can hear on their Mad Decent mixtape POPOSUMMERMIXXX (snag it HERE for free). And while we wait for their full-length to drop, you can hear brothers Zeb and Shoaib jam out their splattered-with-wet-cement dreamy, summer-of-love surf punk at the Barbary tonight, where they’re sure to bring the hipster house down with fellow bill-mates WIN WIN and the Death Set. Originally from Sydney, Australia, the Death Set spent most of their time building up their fan bases in Brooklyn, Baltimore, and our beloved Philly after relocating to the east coast. With fuzzy, vigorous rock perfectly suited for a finished basement Frito brawl, the Brooklyn-based Aussie transplants thrash away at lively, energized nintendocore, crying out bratty, Beastie Boys-inspired vocals that, in the grand tradition of early ‘90s punk, are generally kept under two minutes. We can expect to hear some raging tunes from the trio’s new LP Michael Poiccard, which was produced by XXXChange of WIN WIN. As for WIN WIN, the new collaboration from Spank Rock producer XXXChange, Chris Devil of DJ twosome Devlin & Darko, and video collage artist Ghostdad, they’ll plug their debut self-titled album, recently released on Vice Records. The new full-length features guest appearances from Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor, Spank Rocker Naem, and Gang Gang Dance’s Lizzie Bougatsos who appears on the first single “Releaserpm”, a brazen exchange of electronic beats with shrill but lighthearted vocals. The super-group adapts techno house music into rocking summery tunes that will resist any fist-pump. These three bands are sure to throw down and rock out. So join them. We all have Monday off anyway. The Barbary, 951 Frankfort Ave., 6pm, $10, All Ages – Jules Friedland
