“<\/b>We need to see more girls onstage,” Wife Patrol bassist Nicole announced to the audience about halfway through their Blockhouse set last Saturday night. “And people need to get used to it,” she added, before diving into another grunge-heavy number alongside bandmates Natasha (drums) and Greg (guitar, vocals). Indianapolis-based trio Wife Patrol delivered an energetic performance of their original tracks – \u00a0an eclectic amalgamation of grunge, punk, metal, and pop – with some favorite new wave covers. Before they hit the stage, locals Justin Meier, Constance Marguerite, and Michael Pruitt of Solid State Physics opened up the night’s entertainment on a similarly energetic note. Their tight instrumentals and emblazoned vocals were made all the more impressive as the group played round robin with their instruments, shifting every few songs to present a new arrangement of guitar, bass, drums, and vocals.<\/span><\/p>\n
