Kind of Like Spitting, Almost People 

When: Mon., July 30, 9 p.m. 2012
Price: $7-8

For every Thomas Edison, there are dozens of minds that history will ignore. So while Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes enjoys victory's spoils, Kind of Like Spitting's Ben Barnett might as well be wearing a Guy Fawkes mask. He deserves better: Barnett's confessional wail epitomizes emo's mix of churning Sunny Day post-punk and fierce diary-entry intimacy. The band released nine albums before breaking up in 2006 when Barnett took a position at The Paul Green School of Rock. Earlier this year, he resurrected the old moniker to release a new track. He is working on a fresh album. Almost People opens the bill.—Chris Parker
