Headlights/Page France

Click to watch
Page France performs "Junkyard"

Champaign, Illinois band Headlights has been creating some of the most beautiful pop of the past decade. Formed in 2004, Headlights combines swirling oceans of sound with a danceable electronica, echoing a sound that falls somewhere between the Postal Service and the Cocteau Twins. On their recent Polyvinyl Records debut Kill Them With Kindness, the trio won critical acclaim for its innovative soundscapes and fragile pop. Their frequent visits to Buffalo continue to attract more and more fans with each trip. This time Headlights shares the bill with Page France (pictured), a band whose sparse indie folk has also won much acclaim and many followers. Their most recent release on Suicide Squeeze, 2006’s Hello Dear Wind, has endeared them to listeners of artists such as Sufjan Stevens and Danielson. Headlights and Page France co-headlinethis show at Mohawk Place, with Headlights’ favorite Buffalo band Ice Cream Social opening the show.

Thursday April 12 at 9pm. Mohawk Place, 47 East Mohawk Street (855-3931). $8.
