The Republic Tigers [ tickets ] lead-singer/multi-instrumentalist Kenn Jankowski calls his band's sound "half organic and half synthetic--kind of like how all our lives are now." The Kansas City-based quintet--which also includes Adam McGill (guitars, vocals, samples), Ryan Pinkston (guitar, keys, vocals), Marc Pepperman (bass, keys, accordion) and Justin Tricomi (drums)--weaves folk, psychedelia and pop with intricately crafted electronic textures. Epic yet intimate, The Republic Tigers' debut album, "Keep Color," features tracks like "Made Concrete" and the towering "Buildings & Mountains."

Performing Saturday, March 21, at 11 p.m. at Maggie Mae's, 323 E. Sixth St.
