Sometimes it pays to check your junk email folder.
Just ask the Impossible Shapes' frontman Chris Barth. That's where he discovered a message requesting the services of his band as openers for Wilco's show at Indiana University last April.
It may be hard to believe that a Wilco-approved band would be gigging at a tiny coffeehouse in West Philly, but let's not look the proverbial gift horse in the mouth.
Mixing Syd Barrett-esque vocals with a decidedly Neutral Milk Hotel-leaning sound, the Shapes are easily the best band you can groove to over a latte or a lemonade. (Joshua Valocchi)
