BEST BEATS

So you didn’t get a ticket to the sold out Flaming Lips show on Tue, Apr 4 at the Phoenix in Toronto? Don’t despair. There are some great acts coming to Hogtown in the next few weeks. Norway’s dance sensation Annie comes to town to sing her sweet pop confections from 2005’s smashing Anniemal. Tue, Mar 21 at 8pm at The Mod Club (722 College St); tix are $18.50.

Canadian lovin’ American Neko Case should be oozing sly sexy goodness as she performs songs from her recently released A Fox Confessor Brings The Flood. Sun, Apr 2 at 7pm at The Music Hall (147 Danforth Ave). Lest we forget, Brooklyn-based dynamos Yeah Yeah Yeahs (with hottie Karen O, hello!) play songs from the new album, Show The Bones. Mon, Apr 10 at 8pm at Kool Haus (132 Queens Quay E).
