Tonight: Uh Huh Her @ Exit/In
Actress Leisha Haley is best known for her role as the perky Alice Pieszecki on lady soap The L Word, where she cheerfully tracks the sexcapades of friends in their tightly knit Los Angeles lesbian community for The Chart. But before acting she played in The Murmurs, and Uh Huh Her, her new electro-pop band with former Mellowdrone bassist/keyboardist Camila Grey, is named after PJ Harvey’s highest-charting album of the same name. Their first full-length, Common Reaction, is a batch of sultry, ethereal pop that rests somewhere between Ladytron’s synthy surges (“Not a Love Song”) and Annie Lenox’s mournful moans (“Everyone”). Coincidentally, it’s the kind of sexy, atmospheric music that would fit perfectly on The L Word’s soundtrack. 9 p.m. at Exit/In —TRACY MOORE
