Lovable Weirdos Univox at PhilaMOCA Jan. 18

It seems like some kind of egregious sin to keep going back to “Tonight,” the A-side to Univox‘s latest 7-inch single, but I make no apologies for my repeat plays. Don’t blame me; blame that song’s heady mix of outrageous levels of glam and heartstring-tugging. Univox carries a torch for anthemic, glitter-smeared revivalist power pop, a niche that no local group before them had managed (or tried) to elevate to such heights, and it’s doubtful that anybody is going to try to knock them off that pedestal now. They’re making a triumphant return to the stage this evening at PhilaMOCA with Brooklyn’s Pow-Wow! and Philly’s Acres of Diamonds and Lux Perpetua – all similarly-spirited weirdos. PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St., 8:00pm, $7 – $10, All Ages – Alyssa Greenberg
