We saw infinity shows this past weekend. That's infinity with infinity zeros. Long story short, Long Beach destroyed Los Angeles on Saturday. Thank you to The Henry Clay People, Summer Darling, The Donnas, The Monolators, Rademacher for playing three different venues down there all within a few blocks from each other. It was like Austin except we actually like all these bands... Congratulations to Health on their CD release. Hoooly shite we're still sweaty. We'll post pictures eventually. Probably.
Besides the residencies, which you all probably have been to this month... Captain Ahab return from a 6-week vacation playing kids' living rooms and junk to play at pehrspace tonight. Don't bother wearing clothes. The Sounds are at the Santa Monica Civic... Clap Your Hands Say Yeah headline three sold out nights at the Troubadour... Jesca Hoop celebrates the release of her long-awaited new album Kismet at the Ivar on 9/19. She also performs live on "Morning Becomes Eclectic" earlier that day... Cold War Kids on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on 9/20... Arcade Fire/LCD Soundsystem at the Bowl on 9/20. Apparently, there are still tickets available but search blogs for ticket giveaways.
Musicians looking for musicians: The Breakups are (still) looking for a drummer. This is an awesome band that just keeps getting more awesome every time we see them. Influences are Elliott Smith, Spoon, and Wilco and you should not be turned off by the color brown (we added that last part)... Musicians no longer looking for musicians: Mere Mortals found their drummer so it's too late to join that awesome band. Sad for you.
K.I.T. Los Angeles.
