Though at first glance one might think a band named Dragons Power Up! must be a group of Nintendo-loving 8-bit tweakers, they are actually an increasingly tight post-rock band worth taking seriously. With hooky vocals drenched in reverb, jutting electric guitar riffs, and dirty bar-pop melodies, Dragons Power Up! have been earning accolades for their latest album, Brace for the Bloom, which was released earlier this year, and they will play tonight with their Guilt Ridden Pop labelmates and minimalist synth apostles CLAPS. Also on the bill are Giravves, Jeff Ham of E.L.nO.'s harmonic and synth-heavy power-pop, and grungy hard rockers Omnitrigger. There's nary a weak link in this chain of burgeoning local rock bands, and it should make for a solid Thursday night at the Turf.
