Square Records Anniversary Party with Party of Helicopters/This Moment In Black History/Kill the Hippies/GS Schray

For the Square Records 15th Anniversary Party, owner Dave Ignizio wanted to bring back the bill of bands from the first show he ever booked after starting his Akron-based record shop. That meant having to track down the guys from Kent's own the Party of Helicopters, a band which broke up in 2004 when many deemed it just on the cusp of stardom. While the bandmembers have done a number of reunion shows over the years and played in various bands, they haven't played a gig together in a few years. Known for their riotous indie-metal/punk instrumentation paired with dreamy vocals, they're back for a one-night-only show where old fans (along with the newly-initiated) are invited to relive the happier and care-free times of their adolescence.
