[ATTENDED: March 28, 2026] The Teeth
Two years ago, 
I had never heard of The Teeth before I saw that they had sold out three nights at Johnny Brenda’s months and months before these shows happened.
So who were they? The Teeth was an indie rock band from Philadelphia consisting of twin brothers Aaron MoDavis on rhythm guitar and Peter MoDavis on bass. I was intrigued by them and was even more intrigued when I saw that they were going to open for Dr. Dog on their tour last year. From their images and the few songs I’d heard, I assumed that they’d be a weirdo band. And I wanted to see them.
So I was pretty happy to have grabbed a ticket for this show. While the show was starting, I met a guy who was born in Norway but who moved to California when he was three. He had found The Teeth a few years ago (via Dr. Dog who always praised The Teeth) and fell in love with them. He was very excited to be seeing them for the first time. When he asked me how I knew them, I told him the above story.
I was very amused by their stage backdrop which was a bunch of hand drawn and cut out images stuck to the Johnny Brenda’s curtain.
After the comedian, it took some time before the band came out. And what was so much fun is that they came out of the door upstairs! They walked through the crowd, all while Herb Alpert’s Behind the Rain played, came down the stairs and climbed onto the stage. And that’s when I realized how normal these guys were (except for Brian Ashby’s amazing mustache). (more…)
