It's so nice to be back with you after our little flirtation with some other city. And to make up for lost time, we're going to approximately 85,132 shows this coming week (we're only half kidding) which may include...
A huge lineup at the Hotel Cafe on Saturday with Sara Lov, Let's Go Sailing, Amnion, The Sweet Hurt, and Princeton. Also on Saturday, Summer Triangle 07 returns big time at KGB featuring art by Justin Davis, Armik, G. Liffick, and performances by 8-bit, Spider Problem, The Afterhours, and the Beautiful and the Damned... The L.A. Record release show on Sunday with Dead Meadow, Darker My Love, Entrance, Moonrats, Health, Die!Die!Die!, Phantom Family Halo, and others... Residency finales with The Rentals/Goldenboy, Eskimohunter, Light FM, 5 O’Clock Somewhere, and The Northern Two... Big touring bands such as Bishop Allen, M.I.A., Marnie Stern, The Swell Season, and Peter Bjorn and John rolling through town.
We'll probably do a Monday update thing but this should get you through your weekend. Um, instead of providing tracks of bands playing this week, how about some stuff we listened to while we were gone? No? Too bad.
Meg Baird - "Waltze of the Tennis Players" (MP3)
from the album Dear Companion available now.
The Brunettes - "Her Hairagami Set" (MP3)
from the album Structure and Cosmetics due 8/7. The Brunettes perform 9/13 at the Troubadour.
Nels Cline Singers - "The Angel of Angels" (MP3)
