[ POP/ROCK ] Little Big League, based in Philadelphia, makes music that recalls the pop-punk sound of the 90s and early 2000s, when the genre was heavily influenced by the burgeoning indie-rock scene. Reminiscent of artists like Tegan and Sara and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the band combines a pop-punk inspired love of melody and structure with hazy, distorted instrumentation and a relaxed tempo. The band’s music serves as a revival of the indie-rock that defined the genre some ten years ago: a revival that feels fresh, as it contrasts greatly with the majority of the music in both the indie-rock and post-punk scenes today. — BY LEAH CREARY

Bush Mango’s holiday performance on November 16 is titled “Kibola Kei Kei,” which translates as “Moon over Kibola” (a village in Guinea, West Africa). The music is polyrhythmic; the dancing is dynamic. The performance will feature guest artist Mohamed Diaby, a Guinean master drummer. — BY PALOMA CAPANNA
