Exhibiting '80s excess, '90s Ace of Base pop, and the modern influences of Portland bands like Pure Bathing Culture, Fringe Class is dance-ready with sophisticated flair from frontwoman Madeline Goldstein's on-point vocals. With two EPs under their belt and a full-length on the way, the band's high-energy show has made them a favorite of the local dance set. Tonight they'll kick off their West Coast tour at Valentines, with a well-balanced lineup of synth-pop bands including the dark-wave of Love Cop and shoegaze-heavy Small Skies. JENI WREN STOTTRUP
