When Simon Hanes's Tredici Bacci says it's playing its new album "just for you", they must mean just for me, cuz I love them to pieces. (That last sentence, like the title of this concert, shows the difficulty of deciding whether to refer to collective entities in the singular or plural.) As you might guess, prog finta Italo-popsters Tredici Bacci started as a 13-piece (with JG Thirlwell one of the pieces), but then expanded to a 20-piece — and tonight fields a whopping 25 members, including a chorus! If you like prog finta Italo-pop (and let's face it: who doesn't?), you can't go wrong.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, nice if indistinct eclectic food at As You Are. Streaming at home, have an Angelo Azzuro: pour 1 oz. each of Gin, Cointreau, and blue Curaçao into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. (You can also add 1/2 oz. of sweet Vermouth or, if this is seeming too sickly sweet to you, an amaro.) Stir. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe. Garnish with a lemon twist.
