Friday To-Do: Headlights
HEADLIGHTS
9 p.m., Low Key Arts Building, Hot Springs. $5.
Hard-touring indie-pop trio Headlights headline a post-gallery walk concert at the Low Key Arts Building, a space that's increasingly becoming the hub for independent and progressive music in Hot Springs. The Headlights, based in Champaign, Ill., are on a tour in which they've opened for Mates of the State, the New Pornographers and Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. Those bands all could serve as touchstones for the band's sound — an always sunny, boy-girl harmony-filled pop that brightens even the darkest lyrics. Touring behind their debut full-length, “Kill Them with Kindness,” Headlights appears to be an indie band on the rise. A new band, Blue Screen Skyline, makes its debut in Hot Springs as the opener.
