THE SHOWDOWN: Live music in Philly from Aug. 13-19

Filed Under: Music The Showdown

Every week, Brittany Thomas rounds up the week's sure-bet live shows. This week: Tygerstrype, Joe Kusy, Ape School and more.

Thursday: Tygerstrype has a playful and whimisical nature that seems to draw influences from bands like The Drums, but with a passionate approach to creating electronic, reverb-drenched compositions akin to spiritual-sounding groups like Animal Collective or Yeasayer. This week, they'll play a show benefiting local political org Philly Socialists. 8 p.m., $5, The Fire, with Pulling Punches, When Ships Collide, 412 W. Girard Ave., confirm on Facebook.
