Hello Monday, back so soon I see.
This will be the busiest week of the month for us as we're helping with a couple of shows as well as attending a double-digit amount of events that made us pull a muscle just now just thinking about...
Get out to the residencies tonight (RFSL's turn to present Princeton's SLL residency). Otherwise, Holly Conlan, Terra Naomi and others at the Hotel Cafe. Letting Up Despite Great Faults, The Rhone Occupation, Whalebones, and others at Echo Curio. And Tori Amos does an in-store at Amoeba... On Tuesday, Summer Darling, The Black Watch, Amateurs, and red hot buzz band from Mexico Chikita Violenta at The Echo. Babyland, The Prids, and Shiloe at Spaceland. Lenka, Judith Owen, and others at the Hotel Cafe. Annie Stela opens for Jay Brannan at the El Rey. And Ray Davies down at The Grove of Anaheim... Wednesday, we're presenting a show at Mr. T's Bowl but you'll probably be interested to know that Inara George and Van Dyke Parks (who we must say we've been playing the heck out of that new album lately) return to Tangier. Randy Newman has a sold out show at g'Net. And The Meemies and others at the Silverlake Lounge... On Thursday, we're co-presenting a benefit for Spencer Collins of the band Young Animals featuring ExitMusic, Cobra Lilies, Avi Buffalo, Dorian Wood, and Young Animals at All Star Lanes (details to follow). The Warlocks play at the Troubadour. Afternoons open for Tokyo Police Club at the Hammer. Burning Brides, Nebula, and others at Safari Sam's. Anavan, tik///tik, and others at The Smell. The Meeting Places and others at the Silverlake Lounge. Sara and Sean Watkins with David Garza at g'Net. And The Valley Arena and The Year Zero down at Alex's Bar.
By the way, if you've never seen it, the picture above is of a lovely piece of stret art on the old Sears building on Western. We took a picture of it yesterday after almost being run over by a truck that unfortunately Google Street View did not catch... Incidentally, to those 16-year-olds in the Civic who threw a beer can at the van that was driving too slow for your liking last Saturday on the 101, please turn yourselves in to the police. Not only for your reckless behavior while operating a moving vehicle but also for shamelessly blasting Fall Out Boy out of your car without a proper douche bag permit.
Have a good week, Los Angeles.
