Is The Bends good for one great indie-pop show a week or something? The space — which just hosted Detroit wunderkind Hala — is looking even further north on Saturday when Montreal’s Kee Avil brings her one-woman avant-pop sound (her self-titled 2018 EP is a freaky-folk mindfuck) for a free show alongside another set of sonic tinkerers (Portland duo Ortrotasce, whose Bandcamp includes more than a dozen releases of minimalist cold-wave synth-pop) and the Bay area’s own Fjshwjfe.
Kee Avil w/Ortrotasce/Fjshwjfe. Sat. July 14, 10 p.m. No cover. The Bends, 919 1st Ave. N. St. Petersburg. facebook.com/thebendsbar.
