Shadfest After-Party at JB’s (and of course, The Ox) April 24

If you’re still craving live music after seeing Birdie Busch, Buried Beds, Strapping Fieldhands and Blood Feathers deliver impressive performances at Shadfest today, then chances are you’re joining us at our Best of Philly Showcase at The Ox tonight. But YRock and WXPN also have a nice lineup for the official Shadfest After-party at Johnny Brenda’s. Every time MAxx (formerly of the Goats and Incognegro), and the rest of his talented collective take the stage it leads to one enigmatic performance full of ass-shaking audience members. The diverse mix of Philly all-stars have been going on for 4 years strong, and Addicted to Distraction was an impressive release last year so seeing them play tonight is sure to be a real treat, especially since it’s tentatively the only show that they have scheduled until June. They’ll be joined by Kilroy & The Bronze, another act who also had a dynamic release last year with their album Hessian Love Songs, out now on earSnake. Shawn Kilroy has seen a lot of eclectic roles as a filmmaker, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer. And with this hot and steamy project, he manages to turn the clock back to the new wave fueled 80’s. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Bill McThrill
