![February Los Angeles](http://www.la-underground.net/uploaded_images/february_featurek-765152.jpg)
This is going to be a busy week so no cute stories today... Ok, just one.
James Wilsey, the legendary master of clean tone and guitar moans, celebrates the release of his new album El Dorado at Safari Sam's on Tuesday. Known mostly for his work on Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game", but more importantly with The Avengers (opening for the Sex Pistols' infamous last show at Winterland), The Mysteries, and recently Miss Derringer, Mr. Wilsey has been a looong-time favorite of ours -- especially when he relocated to Los Angeles ten years ago. The new album is terrific (listen to "Untamed" on his MySpace).
Residencies continue, but be sure to also support The Health Club, The Youngs, and weyou. at The Bordello or Anni Rossi, Ema and the Ghosts, and others at pehrspace. Also, tonight is Robert Francis' last night of his residency as he's had to cancel the final night to go on tour with Missy Higgins... Meiko is the guest on MBE on Tuesday. Another round of "Let's Independent" at Boardner's. Sara Lov opens for Keren Ann/Dean & Britta at the El Rey. Amazing lineup of Pocahaunted, Magic Lantern, Mountain Party, and Headdress at Echo Curio. Redcar/Sierra Swan at Largo. And Jesca Hoop opens for Van Hunt at the Temple Bar... And, on Thursday, check out the benefit for Qui's Matt Cronk (who recently suffered multiple strokes) and Manny's Wetanddry Studios featuring performances by The Icarus Line, Darker My Love, Hit Me Back, Tweak Bird, and Crystal Antlers.
We're also helping with two shows this week on 2/21 at The Scene and 2/23 at pehrspace. We'll post about them in a sec.
I blogged the show a bit here:
