Pet Milk @ PhilaMOCA.

If Pet Milk isn’t among your favorite Philly rock bands, it should be. Their pop-rock with a hint of ’80s post-punk is fueled by a veteran hardcore drummer, and it features dreamy vocals and danceable hooks throughout.

They took the stage last night at PhilaMOCA as part of the Tuesday Tune-Out series. The small crowd was treated to a sharp, no-nonsense set. Bassist Adam Herndon offered a joke between songs but singer Adriane Dalton said at one point, “I don’t do banter.”

She did thank the one person in the crowd who stood and danced during the entire set. And she strolled through the hall and knocked over a few chairs just for fun.

“It looked too organized,” she explained, and then took a swig from the pint of whiskey she kept on stage at her feet.

The band is the brainchild of Herbie Shellenberger, who previously played with Brown Recluse. Drummer Josh Agran also plays with Paint it Black. Herndon also plays with A Sunny Day in Glasgow as well as with Faux Slang. Guitarist Richie Roxas was part of Hail Social.
