While somewhat relatively new to the local music scene, you'll recognize the members of
Divers through the many contributions that they’ve made with the likes of
Buried Beds,
Birdie Busch,
The Weeds, and many Philly groups. However, when the unit comes together, they form a melodic and soulful rock quartet that has lush lyrics and multi-layered instrumentals. The band recently recorded their debut album at Turtle Studios, and our halfway through their goal of crowdsourcing funds for their release via
Pledge Music. Tonight will be a great opportunity to get to know the band while they headline at Johnny Brenda's, and it will also be a good chance to get reacquainted with the vibrant and chaotic experimental pop music of
Purples (ex-
Teeth). And while
Satellite Hearts have been doing an excellent job of being the backing band for
Ali Wadsworth, this evening will be their chance to shine on their own, bringing their youthful brand of psych rock to the table.
