So it's beginning to feel a lot like summer. Once again, that blanket of searing desert air returns to kiss us on our forehead for a few months and there is nothing we can do but seek shelter in the cool comfort of Los Angeles rock clubs...
Upsilon Acrux celebrates the release of their stunning new album Galapagos Momentum at the Smell tonight as well as debuting yet another new lineup of band members who thankfully flunked out of verse-chorus-verse school... Lavender Diamond has their first headliner show at the Troubadour tomorrow with Winter Flowers and Anders and Woods. Also tomorrow, Ms. Holly Palmer celebrates the release of her new album Songs for Tuesday at the Hotel Cafe. Yeah, we're still obsessed with that record... On Sunday, it's dance night where you have your choice of the big battle royale with Le Disko vs. IHEARTCOMIX at Spider or the best lineup of the week with Totally Radd!!, Captain Ahab, Anavan, and Juiceboxxx at the Smell. So club kids with emo bangs or indie kids getting banged, either way you're f-... Our old friends Eleni Mandell and Ferraby Lionheart perform at the Hotel Cafe on 6/20. Aren't they too big for this club yet?
Oh yeah, if you couldn't make it to Tuesday's spectacle, it was one of our favorite shows we've ever done. Yes, we were able to do six bands before 12:30am. Yes, The Mormons' infamous mobile unit did crash our show (which technically makes seven bands before 1am). Yes, Cobra Lilies is actually The Monolators in the form of an Appalachian folk duo. And yes you should be hating yourself if you weren't there. Photos from that show along with last night's romp at the Silverlake Lounge are where we usually put them. We're helping out with one more show this month and then we're through kissing our own ass. At least for June.
Upsilon Acrux - "Touched By God (Inappropiately)" (MP3)
Lavender Diamond - "Open Your Heart" (MP3)
Totally Radd!! - "Master of Diagrams" (MP3)
Lavender Diamond - "Open Your Heart"
Still a good record, though!
