Eight Gigs: Sims
Tue., Dec. 6, 8 p.m., Blue Lamp, $14
Sims is the type to drop a rap record in 2016 with pastel pink artwork. Likewise, his tourmates Air Credits stay vocal on Twitter about ending gender roles. If you still think rap music maintains retrograde politics, update your understanding. This is here-and-now music; simply listen to Showyousuck of Air Credits on “Passport” rap, “My PlayStation just got deported/cuz it’s foreign, everything foreign.” Air Credits (a collaboration between Showyousuck and producers The Hood Internet) just released Broadcasted, while Doomtree member Sims is touring off the strength of his solo More Than Ever record. 1400 Alhambra Boulevard, www.doomtree.net/sims.
