Eight Gigs: Noirre
Fri., Feb. 12, 7 p.m., the State Theatre, $8-$10
Noirre is all the rage in Japan. Yet, on this particular evening, the 19-year-old Rocklin artist will celebrate his October album Nostalgia locally for the first time. Considering his youth, Nostalgia is staggeringly polished and mature. Noirre writes, sings and plays guitar, keys, drums and bass on all the tracks. Oh, and he produced Nostalgia as well. Talk about talent. The result is a coming-of-age indie-pop record with catchy melodies and a neo-soul flair. The Usual Haunts will act as Noirre’s backing band as they all gear up for a West Coast tour. 985 Lincoln Way in Auburn, www.poolswimmermusic.com.
