Critics' Picks: • f i g • at Mr. Roboto

[FUNDRAISER] + THU., JUNE 29

Tonight at Mr. Roboto Project, catch an all-star lineup of local ’Burgh bands in a fundraiser for Livy’s Library, an organization that aims to give free books to children in the Pittsburgh area. The sweet, angelic voice of • f i g • lulls you into calmness as she sings about women and Eden and running free. SOFT GIRL’s intimate alt-rock tunes can bring tears one minute and shoulder bops the next. With a clear, strong voice and a guitar as her only tools, Scout Flinch sings about what she loves, like Howl’s Moving Castle. Rounding out the tunes for the night is the self-described “outsider music” of We Hold Hands And We Jump, but the event also features the personal and political spoken-word poetry of Brittney Chantele. 6:30 p.m. 5106 Penn Ave., Bloomfield. $5 suggested donations. www.therobotoproject.com
