Greetings, Angelenos (and one jailbound NYer). We write to you from arctic Las Vegas where we'll be quickly doing some work at Photoshop World, feasting on a buffet or two, and taking a few pulls of Wheel of Fortune before heading back later on tonight for some things...
It will be crazy sold out for Cold War Kids tonight at the Troubadour, but apparently some tickets might be available prior to the show. Amazing how big this band has gotten so quickly. That's what happens when you're good. And if you haven't heard, bidding war over. Downtown Records (EODM, Gnarls, Brut) wins... Our good buddy from KXLU Mr. Nobody and those Mystic Chords of Memory open for the lovely Vashti Bunyon on Saturday. Prepare to be transported... While some tastemakers are thinking Las Vegas is the new Seattle, others have turned their attention to several UK singer-songwriters, one of them being this kid Paolo Nutini from Scotland. He's certainly got the package (voice, songs, looks) so it should be quite crowded with curious insiders for his U.S. debut at the Hotel Cafe on 9/13 (L.A.'s very own curious insider AM also performs)... Longtime favorites from good ol' Santa Cruz, Halou, come down for a show at the Temple Bar on 9/14. After half a decade in production, their new album Wholeness & Separation is out now... and quite tasty.
Cold War Kids - "In Harmony in Silver" (MP3)
Nobody & Mystic Chords of Memory - "Broaden a New Sound" (MP3)
Paolo Nutini - "Autumn" (MP3)
Halou - "Stonefruit" (MP3)
