The Extraordinaires Just Plain Rock at DDG May 29

Influenced by The Muppet Show and “sexy” Asian dudes, South Philly’s The Extraordinaires have a knack for writing warm songs thematically tied to their neighborhood and daily lives. With three albums already under their belt, The Extraordinaires’ theatrical antics are easily praiseworthy, even to NPR. Armed with new members former Quantine Rabbit’s guitarist Scooter and drummer Smoker, their live performance is pure unabashed over-the-top rock ‘n roll goodness. Philly’s version of Love Language, Jay Purdy and his gang might be less polished, but they’re definitely more fun. One of Punk Rock Payroll’s best will be at Danger Danger Gallery tonight with Quiet Hooves. Danger Danger Gallery. 5013 Baltimore Ave., 9pm, $5 – $10 donation, All Ages (Photo by Brian McHale) – Dianca Potts
