ARTS Pick: DVA

Bára Kratochvílová and Jan Kratochvíl make up DVA (meaning two in Czech), a worldly duo that’s carved out its own sophisticated version of neo-pop. Employing a unique performance style—at times singing in an imaginary language—the pair charms its audience with an aural collage self-described as “pop for non-existing radios.” Modern folk specter Diane Cluck and avant-garde electronica soloist Kristina Warren round out the triple bill.

Thursday 10/29. $7, 9pm. Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar, 414 E. Main St. 293-9947.
