In Light of All Darkest Things, The Fire Glimmers and The Darkness Sings

In Light of All Darkest Things, The Fire Glimmers and The Darkness Sings
So the talk of the week has been all of Mr. Hansen's warm-up shows at The Echo (and tonight at the Echoplex). How nice of him to practice with his new band on all this new material for us. What's more, now Daniel Ahearn can now tell his grandkids that showboat Beck once opened for him back in the day. Congratulations, by the way, to Mr. Ahearn on the official release of his new terrific EP Pray For Me By Name. He remains to be one of the most down-to-earth gentlemen of the scene with songs that make us yearn for quality time with friends, kicking our feet up on porch swings toasting to the good ol' days with cheep beer. Ahearn heads out on a quick West Coast tour with Correatown in the coming weeks. Next scheduled show in town is 7/18 at pehrspace. Photos from the show are up.

We'll be hanging out with friends at pehrspace tonight but there's a lot of other stuff to do. The Submarines and Castledoor at the Echo. Pizza!, A.M., and others at L'KEG. Jon Brion and Dave Palmer at separate rooms at the g'net. Pocahaunted's last show for awhile at Ooga Booga. Jay Nash celebrates the release of his new album The Things You Think You Need at the Hotel Cafe with Holly Conlan, Laura Jansen and others. And Crystal Castles does that midnight show at the Roxy... Playboy Jazz Festival marks its 30th year at the Hollywood Bowl with headliner Herbie Hancock. Summercamp is back with The Pity Party, Imaad Wasif and Two Part Beast, and Crystal Antlers. Get your passes here. The Black Watch celebrates the release of their new album Icing the Snow Queen at TAIX. David Garza at g'Net. Milk:Blood, The Transmissions and others celebrate Nico's birthday at the Cocaine. And West Indian Girl and Eagle Winged Palace at The Scene... Benefiting several charities, the tenth installment of Consumption takes place at Ironworks with performances by I Make This Sound, The Hectors, The Breakups, Wait Think Fast, and many others. Kárin Tatoyan opens for Dosh at Spaceland. And Times New Viking and others do PTP at The Echo.
