Bound Stems to play the M Room
Posted by Alysson Cwyk on 20 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Drex and the City
I first heard of Bound Stems when I picked up a Flameshovel sampler at Pitchfork a few summers ago. Their song “Western Biographic” from the band’s 2006 full-length release, “Appreciation Night,” appeared on the mix and reminded me of a concoction filled with Modest Mouse and the Arcade Fire with a little dash of M. Ward.
The five-piece from Chicago are hitting the road and stopping in Philadelphia to promote their new album, “The Family Afloat,” due out later this summer on September 9.
You can catch Bound Stems playing at the M Room (15 W. Girard Ave) on Wednesday, July 23 at 8 pm. $12, 21+.
