Flicker will host Athens’ favorite synth-pop darling next weekend, with a special guest. The candy-coated synth pop of Klypi and the cosmic disco of Buddy Crime will join forces for what’s sure to be an electric dance party during a night that also features Annie Leeth and Nicholas Mallis. Klypi is the colorful musical persona of multidisciplinary artist AC Carter, who recently relocated from Athens to Nashville before finally landing in L.A. Buddy Crime is the pop moniker of Louisville musical artist William Carpenter, a self-described “3D-printed A.I. who chose the form of a pop star named Buddy Crime.” Their disco beats certainly maintain a certain air of otherworldly wonder, melding perfectly with Klypi’s cyberpunk sensibilities.
WHO: Buddy Crime, Klypi, Nicholas Mallis, Annie Leeth
WHEN: Saturday, July 9, 8 p.m. (doors)
