La Femme

Maybe “French Pop” is not a frequently played genre in your daily musical repertoire, but thanks to psychedelic nine-piece La Femme, you might just want to brush up on your compétences en français. Where La Femme is most masterful is their ability to break through language barriers with their hypnotic, era-less surf sound. If Françoise Hardy collaborated with the Shangri-Las and an unplugged Phoenix, you might have a grasp on the power of La Femme — but even then you might be ill-prepared for their brand of trippy, Eiffel Tower makeout session music.

Doors open at 8.30 p.m.; 431 E. Congress St., Detroit; 313-961-8961; saintandrewsdetroit.com; Tickets are $22.50.
