Originally scheduled to play Barboza, Tanlines, Rewards, and USF are instead performing tonight at Neumos. But I have a sneaking suspicion that this change in location won't detract from the show to be seen.

Tanlines, hailing from Brooklyn, have recently released their debut album, Mixed Emotions, and promise to bring new wavey dancey pop that isn't really dance-pop, but might make you want to dance while reminding you of Yeasayer or even Vampire Weekend. The duo knows how to mix many wordly percussion sounds into a more retro palate of 80s synth. Because of this balance, they're able to deliver lines like "I'm just the same as I ever been, but I'm the only one who doesn't notice it" without sending you into a spiral of depression. Instead, lines like that (from Brothers, below) seem like a passing fact of life, nothing to dwell to heavily on, but worth the time to glance at. If you're me, you might even sense a little Paul Simon influence, making going to see Tanlines seem like a pretty great investment.

As if that wasn't enough, Rewards (or Aaron Pfenning), also from Brooklyn, will be bringing much more urbane dance pop and USF (formerly Universal Studios Florida) will have dreamy electro along the lines of Braids or Of Oceans.

The show is 21+, sorry kids. Doors open at 8PM. Tickets are 10 in advance, and available at Moe Bar or etix.com.
