As usual, another very busy week ahead of us so we'll make this quick so you can get back to work on your busy Friday.
Tonight, the Bird and the Bee begin their October residency at the Silverlake Lounge. Since her residency at the SLL six years ago with the amazing band Merrick, Ms. George has probably done more weekly residencies around town than any other band in Los Angeles music history so if you want to see how it's supposed to be done be sure to check these shows out. She's a pro. And get there early. There will be industry heads VIPing their way to the head of the line... Also tonight is a fantastic lineup at Mr. T's Bowl with The Exfriends, The Monolators, and The Breakups, three of our favorite bands all in a row all for free. How convenient and affordable. However, Ms. Mendenhall will not be playing with The Exfriends tonight. She's in Korea (the non-nuclear one) but will be back just in time for her first L.A. solo show in quite awhile at Tangier on 10/11 with a special guest or two. Not to be outdone, Ms. Palmer of The Breakups won't be there either, which is equally disheartening. At least Mrs. Chartkoff of The Monolators will be there to console us... Tomorrow, the 8th Annual Eagle Rock Music Festival returns with its biggest and best lineup ever. Headlined by Monsters Are Waiting, The Parson Red Heads, Great Northern, The Movies, Jesca Hoop, Inara George, and others, this fest beats out Detour in terms of sheer local-ness -- but we still may sneak over to see Basement Jaxx and Blackalicious... The Meeting Places begin their October Monday residency at the SLL on 10/9 with the Antarcticans. New EP Numbered Days out now.. On 10/10, head on down to Fingerprints for the Cold War Kids in-store for the release of their "new" album Robbers & Cowards, which is basically a greatest hits compilation from their previous EPs... Oh, and we're presenting a big show on 10/28 that you might want to check out. Details next week.
