Take a listen to one of the EP's by LA-based band Warm Weather and you will quickly catch yourself imagining your life as a musical. Thankfully it is none of that tiresome "Glee" business, but instead it is a musical where dazzlingly harmonies and jubilant indie rock sounds make every day feel like Christmas. Of course all of your days are also filled with sunshine. This bewitching world that the guys of Warm Weather create with their music is fueled by a lot of spunk and roots in collegiate acapella groups. Before moving out to LA, Justin Lerman, Ryan Pollie and Brendan Lynch-Salamon were all studying music at East Coast colleges and participating in acaeplla groups. That experience plays big part in Warm Weather's sound. Overall the guys create a clean pop sound with wholesome vocals, but the amazing harmonious and seamless mix of folkly banjo sounds on some songs and tropical sounds reminiscent of Vampire Weekend on others is what makes them stand out. The songs can be a bit quirky at times, but are not trivial. Warm Weather is in the midst of an East Coast tour supporting their two EPs, last year's "Dances" and the follow-up "Looking Through." - Karla Hernández

True Widow from Texas returns to Kung Fu Necktie tonight with locals Psychic Teens and Dreambook. Dreambook is a new arrival to the Philly indie music scene. This will be their first show, and it’s a good one to be on. Dreambook has an airy quality to their music with ominous undertones that may seem a bit more nightmarish than dreamy as fuzzy guitar sounds sprinkled with bits of angst stand forefront in their demo tracks. “Stay Inside” could easily fit in the soundtrack of a ‘90s TV Show (for fans of the Adventures of Pete and Pete think Polaris). And there is no doubt Deli faves Psychic Teens will bring the horror to your REM cycle. If you didn’t hear any of Tuesday’s thunderstorms, Psychic Teens will make up for that with thunderous deep bass lines and distorted, wailing guitar riffs. Both should prove to be fitting predecessors to this evening’s headliner. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $10, 21+ - Maura Filoromo

Evi Antonio claims he's having a tough time finding a good woman... but I'm not buying it. His music is so carefree and fun, I can't imagine he's having this much trouble attracting the right girl. In his latest EP 'China, Man,' Antonio whines and wails his way through two bouncy escapades all about the dangers of finding yourself with either no woman, or worse... the wrong woman.

But if any of this makes you think Evi's a downer, don't be alarmed. He is truly a master at the absurd, and builds his songs in a playground too full of pranks and tricks to ever allow any underlying issues of unrequited love to get him down. 'Blank' for instance, punctuates Evi's helium-filled lungs with toy piano lines and rollicking drums, while 'blank' situates his sound within an amusement park filled with plenty of blank and blank. See the man live at Big Snow Buffalo Lodge on June 8 or at Glasslands on June 18. - Mike Levine

You do not want to be on the bad side of Christine Hoberg. Her romantic reflections often turn to rage and revenge, and her lyrics rarely miss their mark. While 'J'Aime' off its eponymous record brings out an honest yearning to find love, Hoberg more often than not revels in love's less saintly modes, like the wrenching 'White Ass' and 'Nutcase.'

For her latest record, Hoberg challenges herself not in changing what worked so well over the past couple years, but in finding a space where her feelings can elevate amidst layers of haunting echoes that shimmer from her piano stretches and knife-cutting vocal delivery. 'Moonlight Never Shined So Bright' is both haunting and cutting at once, revealing depths to Hoberg that challenge any simple explanation for her wicked streak. Christine's can be a voice full of pain, but this weight gains a breathtaking outlet when expressed through the elevated tension of her music.- Mike Levine

Lara Meyerratken may be relatively new to the LA scene, but she is far from an amateur musician. Hailing from Australia, the songstress began her musical career at the ripe age of 17, when she wrote a letter to fellow Australian performer Ben Lee, suggesting the two’s respective bands play some underage shows together (Lee was 15 at the time). He obliged, and a few years later he called Meyerratken and invited her to play in his band. Three weeks later, she was in New York rehearsing. After years of touring with Lee, the ambitious young artist decided it was time for her to do her own thing. She left the band and recorded a solo album under the moniker El May. In January of 2010, Meyerratkan self-released her debut record, El May. The multi-instrumentalist recorded every part herself, including piano, woodwind, percussion, guitar and even vocal harmonies. The result is a masterful folk/pop record with a full, swelling sound.

After spending time in Australia, New York and Nashville, Meyerratkan has lived in Los Angeles for the past three-and-a-half years. El May is playing The Bootleg Theater this Sunday, May 20. $10. 9 pm. 21+. – Katrina Nattress
