Following the sold-out success of their last performance at Detroit Bar, Los Angeles’ very own Autolux is back for a second round.
The band’s dreamy soundscape seems to take its major influences from the shoegaze genre, a derivative of the late ‘80s alt-rock scene. Characterized by its almost cool, detached state, shoegaze boasts
pedal-laden melodies and nearly indiscernible lyrics—which actually sums up Autolux nicely.
The obvious references here are your usual Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine nods, but Autolux takes all that and throws in some unbelievable pop hooks to round it all out, just take a listen to
“Sugarless” off 2004’s Future Perfect.
Keep an eye on drummer/vocalist Carla Azar’s heavy-hitting drumming, which has earned her a reputation as one of the best “undiscovered”
drummers around.
Autolux and Mini Mansions: Detroit Bar, 9 p.m., $15. Detroit Bar, 843 W. 19th St., Costa Mesa, 949.642.0600. 21+.
