We couldn't eat another bite of turkey...
Nothing like a good week of places to go and things to see when you've had a long week of gluttony. That sort of rhymed.
November Monday residencies end. They've all been pretty great. Softlightes show has been moved to Echoplex for the big movie shoot being shot at Spaceland this week... The big shows of the week are the Troubadour's 50th anniversary nights with James Taylor and Carole King. The guestlist might be more star-studded than the bill. But those shows might be a bit out of your income bracket no matter how good a song "You've Got a Friend" is. So why not check out the shows that were moved from the Troubadour to make way for King/Taylor: Los Campesinos! play at the Echo; From Monument to Masses and Don Caballero at Safari Sam's; and Sea Wolf plays an afternoon free show at UCLA... Meiko, HoneyHoney, and The Sweet Hurt lead the way at the Hotel Cafe on 11/28. Also, at the Hotel Cafe, The Nightwatchman begins his three-week residency on 11/29.
Tickets are now on sale for the debut performance of RRIICCEE at Rec Center on 12/22. The project teams up Vincent Gallo, Eric Erlandson, Rebecca Casabian, and Nikolas Haas and from what we've heard it's going to blow your socks off... Sex and Breakfast, starring Macauley Culkin and Eliza Dushku opens 11/30 at Sunset 5 with a Q&A with cast and crew. The soundtrack features some of L.A.'s finest including Sea Wolf ("Leaves in the River", "Neutral Ground"), Ferraby Lionheart ("Won't Be Long", "The Ballad of Gus and Sam"), Mezzanine Owls ("Dark Too Early"), The Good Listeners ("Ideal Love", "Red Envelope", "Condition Down"), and The Willowz ("I Wonder")... Tickets for DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist's "Hard Sell" tour go on sale 12/1.
Get out there. You need the exercise.
