It’s been pretty quiet in the Your Children is Beautiful camp. Maybe it’s because they are busy working on a 15+ song album entitled DIE COOL or it could just be that the scraggly crew’s chilled-out, gentle indie pop is generally not that loud in the first place. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make some noise when they take the stage tonight at Millcreek Tavern armed with plenty of new tunes. And from improvisational progressions and sonic frequencies to talking computer and classic video game consoles, Synth Sircus is one of those collectives that you can’t exactly figure out until you experience them live. To a point, even they don’t know sometimes since their musical collage is often designed as they play along. Debuting in 2010, the analog sideshow has featured members of Agent Moosehead, Grimace Federation, Music For Headphones, Aunt Dracula, and a whole host of other performers so expect the surprises to continue. Also on the lineup are Cannons, who will be injecting some rock into the evening of chillness. They recently released their new EP Cuddled By Giants (which you can take a listen to and purchase HERE) so there should be plenty of new material circulating among the bands. Add in the one-man synth project of Time Ghost and New York’s You Bred Raptors?, and you now have a reason to swing by the Millcreek to grab a drink or ten. Millcreek Tavern, 4200 Chester Ave., 9pm, $5, 21+ – Bill McThrill
