Eight Gigs: Astronautica
Sun., June 19, 9 p.m., Sol Collective, [cover TK; Blake is trying to track this down]
If Low End Theory is the performance space where Los Angeles beat music lives locally, Alpha Pup is the label that shares it with the world. This summer, the label is showcasing its roster of third—maybe fourth—generation electronic producers like Toy Light, Elusive, Gyspymamba and Astronautica. Out on her first headlining tour, Astronautica heads out on the heels of her dynamic Gemini record (though if you dig back into her catalog, it’s all impressive). She’s a dexterous live performer who sings and plays guitar as much as she manipulates the Ableton pad. 2574 21st Street, (916) 476-3628, http://astronautica.la.
