SHOW: Unknown Moral Orchestra @ M Room, 6/5

POSTED: Thursday, June 2, 2011, 11:00 AM

Unknown Mortal Orchestra, smack in the middle of a tour with Bonaroo-bound Portugal. The Man., stops in Philly to headline at M Room in Fishtown. Previously NME's Radar Band of the Week, UMO is fronted by Ruban Nielson of The Mint Chicks.

They recently made a Philly splash opening for Smith Westerns (also 'Roo-bound) at Johnny Brenda's. The local blog In The Wake of Poseidon neatly encapsulates their psychedelic show and EP as "...a catchy yet freaky throwback to lo-fi '70s groove-rock and garage rock all in one."

Also performing are local jazzy proggers Agent Moosehead. City Paper darlings, they're hopefully already part of your local music lexicon. If not, check them out. Agent Moosehead is what would happen if Frank Zappa was consistently, thoroughly listenable.

Sun., June 5, 8 p.m., $5, M Room, 15 W. Girard St., 215-739-5577, mroomphilly.com.
