Somehow, Echo Park art-and-performance space Pehrspace has successfully built a home for visual art and independent music in the back of a Filipinotown strip mall. Tonight, the space welcomes Ohio-based band State Bird, who play a twee amalgam of indie weirdos like Animal Collective and Of Montreal mixed with the gospel sing-alongs of the Polyphonic Spree. On their just-released sophomore release, Mostly Ghostly, they incorporate a bevy of instruments — brass, world-beat percussion, and copious amounts of ukulele — alongside jumpy, exuberant vocals. State Bird play tonight with Philadelphia's A Sunny Day in Glasgow and Pasadena's No Little Kindness.
