Hiatus picks the the Week’s Best Bets
Think, Play & Create
200 West Island Avenue / May 4 / 12 p.m. / FREE
UCSD undergrads and MFA students, led by professor Amy Adler, are giving back to their neighborhood in the form of a Teen Studio, part of the New Children’s Museum in downtown San Diego, which opens its doors Sunday. Under the moniker “Project 7:1,” the group will unveil its feature designs alongside activities designed for local teens. Join the celebration of the new downtown addition as students work to make it a cornerstone of the community. (CM)
Cut Copy
Red Bull Terminal / May 1 / 6 p.m. / FREE
What better to do on Thursday night but take a trip to downtown San Diego for a free electro-pop show? Aussie trio Cut Copy take the synth bump of classic New Order and transplants those jams into a sweaty club scene, blending high fashion with low morals. The chunk bassline on “Out There on the Ice” fits snugly inside the song’s energizer kick drum and accented vox. On the comedown, “Midnight Runner”’s spacious chord progression and easy-going pace make for a communal trancer, the musical equivalent to waving a cell-phone lighter. Cold, yet inviting. (CK)
