The B-Side

Anyone in Hoboken looking to claim that they were the first to hear the next big thing in pop music, take notice: Canadian synth-pop artist Lights is about to embark on a two-week U.S. tour, and the jaunt is set to kick off in the Mile Square City with a show Feb. 6 at Maxwell's on Washington Street. The timing of Lights' tour is spot-on, considering that the second single from her self-titled 2008 EP was "February Air," a song that was also featured in an Old Navy commercial last year.
