Was our eyes deceiving us or was that water coming from the sky earlier today? Nice of you to join us, April showers. But, really, we probably do need to get our eyes checked because we thought we actually saw in the Weekly that Jewel would be playing Spaceland on Saturday. How absurd is that? What next, Silversun Pickups at the Silverlake Lounge?
The big show of the evening is The Autumns and Miss Derringer at the Roxy. Yes, there is a good chance that we will brave the wet roads and the wet t-shirt contests of West Sunset for two of L.A.'s most beloved bands. $20 parking here we come... The 600(!?)-capacity Echoplex officially opens its doors this coming week with a few great lineups. Klaxons and The Deadly Syndrome arrive 4/21 and on 4/26 the best lineup of the week with Earlimart, Sea Wolf, The Watson Twins, and The Parson Red Heads... Congratulations to The Pity Party this past week for making it through four shows in three nights. They get a whole week of rest before playing 4/30 at the Echo with The Black Pine... Rosie Thomas pays L.A. another visit on 4/23 at the Hotel Cafe promoting her Sufjan-ized new album These Friends of Mine... Giant Drag has a couple of shows with The Icarus Line, both opening for The Lemonheads (4/25) and The Jesus and Mary Chain (4/26)... Lastly, hearts will be all a-flutter with the return of Xiu Xiu on 4/24 at the Troubadour.
Klaxons - "Atlantis To Interzone" (MP3)
Rosie Thomas - "Much Farther To Go" (MP3)
Xiu Xiu - "Bishop, CA" (Kid 606 remix) (MP3)
