The Districts
With Abi Reimold.
Sarah Rudderow
Formed in tiny Lititz, Pennsylvania, in 2009 (while its members were still in high school), the Districts could be described as “precocious.” After all, what better word is there for a band that’s churning out throwback garage rock more ramshackle, urgent and downright fun than bands who have been together twice as long. Their last full-length, the John Congleton-produced A Flourish and a Spoil, was released in 2015. With Abi Reimold.
$15 ($13 adv.; ages 18+). Presented by True Endeavors.
press release: The Districts, a Philadelphia four-piece, return with their first piece of music since their 2015 album, A Flourish and a Spoil. "Ordinary Day," mixed by John Congleton (St. Vincent, Angel Olsen, Explosions in the Sky), gives us a glimpse of what's to come. NPR Music describes the new song as “the first chapter of a new book in the band’s creative growth.”
"Ordinary Day" by The Districts
The band’s Robby Grote comments, "‘Ordinary Day’ deals with a sort of personal alienation and the realization that you and the world you've existed in have changed. Sort of the feeling of coming through a tunnel and having no way of relating to things in the same way as before. It was written in late summer/early fall and came together quite naturally... Personal lives were in flux and we were sitting around Philly losing our minds."
