Fri, April 9, The Polish Ambassador

When critics write about Berkeley-based electronica artist the Polish Ambassador, they can’t help but quote his self-described “a gay cyborg with Tourette’s Syndrome” analogy. I’m not sure if it’s apropos of his techno-dance beats, heavy on the synths, like Gary Numan meets 8-bit meets house. I also hear there’s some kind of hilarious, jokey quality to his live set, but that has yet to be confirmed; do so this Friday at Sol Collective. This is an all-ages show, with SeventhSwami, DJ Whores, DJ Mupetblast and DJ CrushDelight. 2574 21st Street, www.thepolishambassador.com.
