The winning combination of Trophy Wife is a local socially/politically/personally-conscious post-hardcore two-piece consisting of D.C. transplants drummer Katy Otto (co-founder of Exotic Fever Records and formerly of Del Cielo) and guitarist Diane Foglizzo. Their lyrical themes surround the feminist and LGBT perspective and experience while still maintaining a more universal appeal for others. Tonight at PhilaMOCA, they’ll be opening the music portion of the evening when they welcome the queercore-friendly lineup of out-of-towners Hilly Eye, ZOO (ex-Little Teeth), Field Mouse, and Allison Weiss. But before the aural stimulation begins, there will be a 30-minute screening of filmmaker Meredith Heil’s Whistlin’ Dixie, an exploration of how the queer lo-fi DIY scene is “altering the political and social climate of the new South for generations to come.” You can check out a trailer for the movie HERE.
