Why? / Aqueduct / Superargo

Jackpot Music Hall

Why? is a folk-pop, indie hip-hop, sometimes-mustachioed quartet that operates out of the Oakland Bay Area under the bold banner of the Anticon collective. At the band's helm is Yoni Wolf, who writes and sings and has also been known to dance, play any instrument he can get his hands on (piano, keyboard, guitar, bass, drums, harmonica), sample and occasionally beat his chest like a gorilla. Opener Aqueduct records for the Barsuk label and can be either completely brilliant or completely annoying with its synth-laden superpop. A much better bet is Lawrence's Superargo, which will release a three-song disc titled "The Backspace Statement" at tonight's show.
