Brooklyn duo Sleigh Bells (guitarist/producer Derek Miller and singer Alexis Krauss) mash up rock guitar hooks with bombastic hip-hop beats in a similar fashion to M.I.A., but you won’t mistake Krauss’s sing-songy, robotic approach to lyrics for M.I.A. any time soon. That’s no criticism; if anything, Krauss’s mix of cheerleader chants, sexy cooing and disembodied zombie beat-boxing is what makes Sleigh Bells stellar debut, Treats, stand out. Their sets at the Pitchfork and Coachella festivals have quickly garnered them a rep as a must-see live band, and the buzz after their set opening for Yeasayer earlier this year in Salt Lake City was pretty damn loud, too. Pretty Plane opens the show. The Urban Lounge, 241 S. 500 East, 9 p.m. $12
