Went to the Vista to see She & Him but didn't feel like waiting in line (that stretched down Hillhurst) so we gave our tickets away to some kids in need of some. Plus, we still don't think this project is half as good as Pretty Babies, but what we think obviously doesn't matter. She & Him appears on the "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" on CBS tomorrow (5/1). So instead of the Vista we went to Ponytail to wait in a bigger line for Erol Alkan and Deacon. We left early because, technically, we're banned from any place where party pix are taken and supposedly redslurpee was in the house...
In other news: F* Yeah Fest returns 8/30 and 8/31 and they're looking for interns of the unpaid variety to help with it. If we were young, awesome, and looking to get experience with big music events this would be the one. And, of course, we qualify for none of those. Email them here for more info... BritWeek launched its 50th year celebration this week. Last year, there were some showcases featuring UK bands that seemed to be largely for industry macho honchos. This year, in conjunction with Musexpo, it's pretty much the same deal with some public performances by Duran Duran and Kate Nash. Events extend through 5/31 -- we don't know why it isn't called BritMonth either so don't bug us about it you piggin' sheepshaggers... How many people want to see how Hendrix got his groove on?... Tickets for Rilo Kiley's show at the Greek go on sale 5/3. Pre-sale here... Everest makes their national television debut on 5/16 on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" (NBC)... Speaking of television debuts, if you didn't see The Airborne Toxic Event last week on Carson Daly check it out below. It's pretty great.
