TICKETS + INFORMATION

This List is good for a good word for practically anything coming out of Oslo — another of its fave non-Brooklyn cities — but Smerz really are good: synth-pop (barely) tinged with Baroque and other fancied-up inflections. Ouri — from France out of the Caribbean and now in Montreal (another List fave city but enough already) — is if anything even better, chill (but not smooth) electro-pop with its own set of distinctive inflections that is absolutely gorgeous (but not boring).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: The Brooklyn Antica Pesa is kind of gross in a douchey sort of way (not saying that about the original in Rome, understand), but some of the food can make you forget that.
