Show by the apocalyptic pop duo The Electric Grandmother, with Weird Paul and Urban Doctors, at Spirit Lodge in Lawrenceville.
The Electric Grandmother play Spirit Lodge on Thursday, October 22, with Weird Paul and Urban Doctors opening the night. The duo comes from Washington, D.C., and they've built a following around a sound they call 'Sitcom-Core'—a label they coined themselves. It's a name that points to the kind of music they do: comedic chaos wrapped in underground nostalgia, played by a pair who don't take themselves too seriously.
Fronted by Mary Alice Hamnett and Pete Faust, The Electric Grandmother have a reputation as cult sensations. They're an apocalyptic pop duo, and that's where the 'sitcom' part of the name starts to make sense—the contrast between the bright, familiar sounds of pop and the end-of-the-world imagery they build around it. They play 21+ rooms, and much of their draw comes from that same brand of offbeat, nostalgic pop that's earned them a dedicated following over the years.
They're not coming alone. Weird Paul and Urban Doctors open the bill, so there's more than one act to catch before the headliner takes the stage. The whole thing is happening at Spirit Lodge, 242 51st Street in Lawrenceville, a spot that's easy to get to if you're already around that part of the city.
