saw pretty lights open in chicago for STS9 recently, pretty good stuff.
I was at that show too.
Pretty Lights brought good energy but I can't say I'm making plans to catch his show at Roo... when it comes to conflicts I'll always take a live band over a DJ-type performance.

Heres the read me section from the 2-disc album on his website--in case you dont want to download both halves or want a better idea where he's about...
"Filling Up The City Skies" is a collection of songs arranged in two sections, each about the maximum length of one blank cd(80 minutes).
The first disc contains 14 organic downtempo songs.. not that they're all slow, but they do have a common style throughout them. Also, every song on the first disc contains a vocal sample which I chose and arranged in an attempt to tell a story about myself, my life, and the world in which I live. The vocal samples are typed out below in case you find them difficult to understand in the music.
The second disc contains 12 songs that are, stylistically, along the lines of what I have been playing at Pretty Lights shows for the last 10 months. They are for the most part more upbeat and high energy production, but still maintain a very organic element. They range from hip-hop to two-step to house and tend to get faster as the disc progresses..except for the last song which is a remix of "Finally Moving" from the first Pretty Lights album "Taking Up Your Precious Time".
I sincerely hope that you enjoy the songs on "Filling Up The City Skies" I have worked very hard on them and have chosen to give the music away for free to anyone who wants it. I appreciate very much if anyone who is able, chooses to make a donation, but by no means is it pressured or even suggested. All I ask is that you come to Pretty Lights shows when I'm in your area, come say what up, and maybe bum me a light, I'm always losing my lighter at shows. oh... and tell your friends, so they can download it too.
PS... I plan on dropping new EP's rather consistently from this point on.. so check back on prettylightsmusic.com often:)

I have seen Pretty Lights twice and both times he was amazing. It is hard to stand still when you listen to him. It just makes you want to dance. I will definitely be there. This guy is very good.
;D
