Rochester band Transviolet is almost — almost progressive; almost synthetic; almost pop. But it's all the way beautiful in quick stabs to the soul. Vocally it is a curious affair floating above an epic display. It's both huge and delicate. It's the only band in this sensational bill I'm yet to see ... I can't wait.

Transviolet plays with Joywave, Maybird, and Kopps on Saturday, June 18, at Anthology, 336 East Avenue. 7 p.m. $20-$25. 423-1931; anthologylive.com; transviolet.com.
