Since the Lightning Flickered with the Thunder


Well, that was a busy week. What with CD release shows, SXSW official announcements, Ozzfest becoming a freefest, and Van Halen joining Crowded House and The Police on the reunion bandwagon, it finally feels like 2007 is in full gear. This week should be a piece of cake...

The genius that is David Garza shall be re-explored tonight at Largo by most likely all of us who think he's one of the finest singer-songwriters of his generation. We hear he's already in the double double digits in songs prepared for his next opus, which will likely have a familiar cast of tunesmiths known throughout the Largo brotherhood. Don't be surprised if Garza is joined by a few of them for tonight's show, his first in a few months since the injury... Also this evening, The SoftLightes celebrate the release of their sweet new record Say No To Being Cool - Say Yes To Being Happy -- although, admittedly, we probably wouldn't have as much interest in them if it were not for the Dunn/Fogarty half of the band contributing that signature El Ten Eleven sound. ETE, by the way, perform at No Future on 2/16 and at The Scene on 2/17... The goddess that is Patty Griffin returns next week to Los Angeles after a long time away. While this visit is only to promo her magnificent new album Children Running Through, we'll take what we can get. She'll be teasing us with an intimate showcase at the Hotel Cafe on 2/13 before getting back to the bright lights and big venues on 3/13 at the Wiltern... And lastly, those funky post-punky Canucks They Shoot Horses Don't They stop in town on 2/13 at the Knitting Factory. Boo Hoo Hoo Boo will be re-released on KRS on 2/21.

David Garza - "For Keeps" (MP3)
The SoftLightes - "Girlkillsbear" (Lo-Fi-Fnk Remix) (MP3)
El Ten Eleven - "Lorge" (MP3)
