Eight Gigs: Lil Peep
Thu., May 4, 7:30 p.m., Harlow’s Restaurant & Nightclub, $15-$20
Lil Peep boasts 157,000 followers on Soundcloud. Double that following on Instagram. This is the currency in 2017 that sends a 20-year-old on a headlining tour. No radio play, just a Pitchfork Rising feature that announces the next generation of talent. Lil Peep declares parts unknown, but he’s linked with a digital community that shoegazes, showers infrequently and tattoos their alabaster faces. Imagine Bieber with a ketamine addiction; that’s Lil Peep. The music is emotionally damaged, suicidal, drug-addled and yet serene in its melancholic production. 2708 J Street, https://soundcloud.com/lil_peep.
