It's not even Valentine's Day yet, but boy did we get some lovin' this past weekend. We're a bit dizzy from it all but all we know is that it's Monday again and apparently we need to post some kind of update...
The Monday residencies started off great last week -- expect some surprise guests for Henry Clay People's "all covers" night, which you can probably guess from all the happy comments Joey is leaving everywhere that it's going to be amazing. But the residencies get some competition with an unbelievable lineup at All Star with 400 Blows, Crystal Antlers, and the L.A. debut of The Night Marchers featuring members of Rocket from the Crypt and Hot Snakes. Then there's the equally fantastic lineup of HEALTH, Dinosaurs with Horns, and Everybody at pehrspace. Expect some mind/fist bruising for those shows... I Make This Sound/The Breakups EP releases at The Echo on Wednesday. Ferraby Lionheart tickles the upright at the Hotel Cafe on 2/13 while Dave Palmer tickles the upright at Largo. Big name stuff: Rufus Wainwright (2/12), Talkdemonic (2/12), Rhett Miller (2/12), Rhys Darby (2/12), Willie Nelson (2/13), Aretha Frankling (2/14, 2/15), Jill Scott (2/14).
Other notes: Correatown reports that $400 in donations was made out to Bicycle Kitchen at the show a few weeks back. Cheers to everyone involved. That's way more than the monthly payments we make for our new Hummer H3... Nice set of questions answered by The Pity Party... Good guest DJ set by Graham Lathrop of Robert Francis's band today on Revolver. Especially the Link Wray nod. Go see Robert Francis on Mondays at the SLL and read about him here... And this review just made us cry.
