Little Boots, with Dragonette, Class Actress, Tigerbeat. Neumo’s, 925 E. Pike St., 709-9467. 8 p.m. $15. Victoria Hesketh tried the flute, jazz and classical singing before settling on an electro-pop career under the stage name Little Boots. Hesketh is something like a shinier version of fellow British pop star Lily Allen. Both are equipped with a feisty sort of appeal, but where Allen is notoriously rowdy, vulgar and brawling, Hesketh is all cool glamour and sparkly sheen. Little Boots’ debut record, Hands, already a huge hit in the UK, saw its US release this month and was produced by Greg Kurstin, who’s engineered the disco-glam sounds of everything from Kylie Minogue to Rilo Kiley’s Under the Blacklight. It makes sense, then, that Hands is a steady stream of hook-heavy melodies, shivering vocals and Hesketh doing some serious jamming on the keys and the Tenori-on, a Japanese-made electronic instrument that looks like an LED Lite Brite. That’s fitting, since Little Boots’ polished image is all about the flash, the dazzle and the lights. ERIN K. THOMPSON
