Lights at AS220
AS220

Love those MySpace page "influence" lists. For instance, the Brooklyn dream-a-delic outfit Lights wants us to know that they're down with "past lives, sea glass, Barry Lyndon, skulls, and red wine." While you're connecting the dots between that smorgasbord, let me tell you that, for better or worse, their Rites (Drag City) also alludes to the kitschy side of popular mysticism. Cue up their white-wing-dove video for "Fire Night" and you'll know why they also included Stevie Nicks on that influences list. It's a beautifully boho experience (with a wisp or two of Sandy Denny floating by between the wah-wah pedal antics), and as the ghostly behavior surrounds you, it's hard not to submit. They'll share the bill with Behaviors, Talking About Commas, and Allysen Callery at AS220, 115 Empire Street, Providence, at 9 pm | $7 | 401.831.9327 | as220.org
