Good times this weekend. Thank you.
Ok, so just because it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas and the forecast for 40° evenings is imminent, this doesn't mean you have to stay home under your warm blanky every night. Seriously, how can you pass up any of the lineups at the El Rey, Viper, Safari Sam's, and pehrspace tonight? You can't. And for you O.C. kids, the Monday residency at Detroit this month is solid. Don't make us come down there again and prove it... Wait Think Fast and Shiloe rock The Scene on Tuesday. Also, The Shys, ECC, Nico Stai, and Emily Wells at the Troubadour... On Wednesday, her royal highness awaits us. Although, the counterbooking is also quite enticing with Jesca Hoop and Lissie at the Troubadour; Mia Doi Todd, Sara Lov, All Smiles, and Anders & Woods at Tangier; David Garza at Largo; and Liz Pappademas at Genghis Cohen (Falling James, you rock, sir)... Thursday, Moving Units and Scissors for Lefty do the polka at Echoplex; Ferraby opens for the one-and-only Richard Hawley at the Troubadour; I Make This Sound and The Breakups help celebrate The Wonderground CD release; West Indian Girl and Sara Melson sashay at The Bordello. And, last but not least, Anchors for Architects have their final show at pehrspace but let's not be sad. There are better things to come for them, we're sure.
In other news: Dewey Cox and the Hard Walkers have their tour finale on Thursday at Guitar Center. If you missed last week's show, we heard it was a hoot. We even heard that Ms. Correatown herself made an appearance for their rendition of the now-classic "Let's Duet". Soundtrack is out now. Movie out 12/21... Phantom Planet's new album comes out in April on Fueled By Ramen. It's produced by The Tony B. who we all know made great records for Aimee Mann, Kate Earl, and most recently Jesca Hoop (and, yes, fathered a one Elizabeth Berg). If it's anything like PP's first album then you have us at hello... Tickets for Foo Fighters show at the Forum on 3/5 go on sale this Saturday... L.A. Muderfest is back 4/19-20 at the Knitting Factory... Read what made Linda Strawberry come out of her shell.
