Band Members: Univox : "We’re a group of musicians whose sole purpose is to score points impressing people in the vain attempt to absolve ourselves of failure and sadness."
When Cars Ascend: is a prog/indie/psychedelic/folk/post-rock band from Downingtown, PA with overwhelmingly good guitars, drums, bass and lyrics that make you think. They compare themselves to Modest Mouse, the Flaming Lips, and the Velvet Underground. They are currently spreading the great word of When Cars Ascned all around the Philadelphia area.
GOWTRON: is an alien and an insurance salesman. They like to play shows that tend to get a little crazy. They also like to remove clothing in this process. Sometimes, they’re compared to early Modest Mouse, sometimes to old Fugazi, sometimes to Explosions In The Sky. They don’t understand these comparisons. In short, fear of nipples + GOWTRON = bad experience.
Rasputins Secret Police: met between 3rd and 4th grade when Brandon and Josh realized they lived across the street from each other. Brandon of course is the guitarist, and from the future. Josh plays the drums (quite hard) and was raised by the Iroqouis. Together they began writing rather short songs. Soon they got better equipment and started churning out slightly longer songs. Basically see them in concert, bring comfortable shoes because you will be dancing, a lot.
Cricket Joe: or Shaun Carr (as he’s referred to on the mean streets of Downingtown), is an acoustic act. Cricket writes and performs folk and indie music. His songs feature sarcastic and amusing vocals, which clearly show his influences; Bright Eyes, Modest Mouse, and Kimya Dawson to name a few. Look for Cricket in open-mic nights all over the tri-county area and just about any concert Wynne Records is associated with.
The Pyschodelicates: Formed in 2001 by Cody Wren [guitar, vocals] (and henceforth going through many different names) The Psychodelicates also features Andrew Benrubi, Steve Fitzpatrick, and Brandon Ayres. Their sound is usually calm and groovy with psychedelic tones and skewed melodies, influenced especially by Devandra Banhart, the Animal Collective, Acid, and Hollis. However, this band is known to inject plenty of energy into their sets as well. They can often be found jamming acousticly in and around Philadelphia, or riding three people on a bike in and around Drexel Hill.
Influences: West Philly, lots of music, lots of art, lots of books.
