Future-forward pop maestro Ashnikko wants you to visit Smoochies World this week. The “pop disruptor” released second album Smoochies last fall, an adventurous work that is as catchy and personal and playful as it is, in the artist’s words, “grotesque and absurd.” All of those qualities carry over to this tour, which is surrealistic and splashy and interactive all at once. There are no borders in Smoochies World.
8 p.m. Tuesday, May 5, Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock.com, SOLD OUT.
