We were going to cut back on shows since Copa Mundial would be taking up the bulk of our existence for the next month but then we thought, why not rely on the latest time-shifting technology and see a gig for a change? And so we busted out some superfresh VHS (circa 1999) and prepared ourselves for a melodious affair at the Echo for Languis' June residency.
Our two readers know that we have loved Languis for many a decade so anything we could possibly add now would be just kissing their Argentinian asses. And of course we will do that -- although they're lucky Riquelme is one of our favorite players. They're back to a couple these days, which we haven't seen in awhile and it's still a beautiful thing to witness. Be sure to pick up their new EP.
As much as we love Languis, this newish band Mezzanine Owls was the clincher for Monday. We've been sort of obsessing about them for a minute and wanted to see if we were just imagining things. Damn, they're good. I won't spoil they're CD release show in July by making superfluous declarations. Just be there.
Languis performs every Monday at The Echo in June with special guests. Shows are free (21+).
Mezzanine Owls CD release show is 7/20 at the Silverlake Lounge.
