The Guests Opening for LVL UP at the Church Feb. 28

The Guests open up the proceedings this evening at the Church. The band, which includes Kyle and Hart Seely of Sheer Mag, instill a provocative, cleansing air, as the rolling backend extends outward, synching the synth with one’s mind. However, an obscure, darkwave current looms, calling you into the shadows with an alluring, commanding voice. One is drawn toward the howl that lies just beyond the line of sight. Garage-pop quartet Marge maintain a rumbling forward instrumental core washed over vocal harmonies, creating a hardened yet accessible edge. With Talking Quietly of Anything With You due out April 15 via Double Double Whammy, the insightful, catchy observations of Free Cake For Every Creature thread the way to LVL UP. First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut St., 7pm, $10, All Ages – Michael Colavita
