What’s Going On: 10/12 – 10/19

1. Metronomy w/ NewVillager
Where: Mississippi Studios
How Much: $12
When: Thursday, October 13th – 9pm
Why: This London electro-pop dance group has been around for more than a decade and are known for their energetic live performance complete with light shows (pre-synched chest lights!) and dancing. They’ve opened for such acts like CSS, Klaxons, and Bloc Party. Joining them is Brooklyn-based NewVillager, a band/artist collective that perform music and make visual art in various forms like fort-building and costumes. Oh heck yes.

2. St. Vincent w/ Cate Le Bon
Where: Crystal Ballroom
How Much: $16/$19
When: Friday, October 14th – 9pm
Why: Multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Annie Clark (St. Vincent) is a former member of The Polyphonic Spree and former touring member of Sufjan Stevens. Her third album, Strange Mercy, just dropped last month and is catchier, sexier, and more guitar-driven than her previous releases. Opening is Cate Le Bon who is known to sing in English and Welsh.  These are some uniquely talented ladies—grab yourself a ticket while you can.
