M.I.A. With Rye Rye. Maya Arulpragasam doesn't want to be a proper pop star. "It's like people want me to become some kind of Cinderella," says the rapper known as M.I.A., 35, who will be found headlining the Electric Factory on Sunday, with her protege Rye Rye opening the show. Talking on the phone this week from Montreal, where Arulpragasam was preparing for the start of a U.S. tour in support of her confrontational third album, Maya, she spoke about "the spirit of punk, of not lying down and accepting things."- Dan DeLuca
8 p.m. Sunday at the Electric Factory, Seventh and Willow Streets. Tickets: $35, $27 day of show. Information: 215-627-1332, www.electricfactory.info.
