Eliot Lipp plays Limelight on Thursday, May 24. He is joined by Leo 123 aka Dark Party, Ernest Gonzales, Notes & Mnolo, Six Guns, and Viv Vega. $5 for the 21+ set and $7 for the kiddos (no under-18s allowed!).

From a Pitchfork review of Lipp’s last album:

His music is sheer California, blending the Bay Area’s cerebral undie-hop into the breezy, whistling G-funk of Cali’s mainstream 1990s heyday….  Just look at what happens in these songs, the heirs apparent to Ratatat’s accessible blend of hip-hop, rock dynamics and electro — the vibrant colors that saturate the keys; the intricately braided strands of glossy melody and thick bass buzz that inexorably surge and glide; the nonstop onslaught of memorable hooks whipping precisely around hairpin curves.
