Description
Innocent and indulgent, the Hecuba duo makes artsy indie pop that continues in the tradition of the Fiery Furnaces and the Blow. Partners (romantically and musically) Isabelle Albuquerque and Jon Beasley met in Brooklyn in 2003. Beasley was directing a fictional film about alien abduction when a mutual friend suggested that Albuquerque play the starring role as the abductee. After making the movie, the two started making music together and eventually moved in together in the Echo Park section of L.A. Using bass bloops, glitches, and a kitchen sink of instruments, Hecuba concocted an inventive type of music that blended electro, dub, experimental indie pop, and '60s girl groups (All Music). Tonight, Hecuba take the stage at the Smell with Lucky Dragons and Beast Cop.

Tickets are $5 and sold at the door.
