Denver has turned into the stronghold of the US electronic scene over the past couple of years. One of the premiere acts to rise out of this scene is Pretty Lights; featuring members Derek Vincent Smith and Cory Eberhard making music on a mix of Ableton Live and acoustic and electronic drums. They’ve crafted a huge following largely by giving away all their music for free on their website and touring endlessly across the globe. They got invited to play Coachella this year and that means Phoenix is lucky enough to get them coming through on their way back from that big show in California.

They’re bringing their mix of downtempo and hip hop to The Marquee along with incredibly talented beatmaker Eliot Lipp. Advance tickets for the show are available now for $17.50. There’s two other great shows I want to see on April 19th, but something tells me I might still find myself at this one. And you should definitely make your way here if you like to dance and hear forward-thinking music. Join me in thinking the Culture Shock people for taking risks and bringing acts here we might not see otherwise. Who else is ready for April!?
