Los Angeles Loves... A Duel/Dual

Los Angeles Loves... A Duel/Dual
Yes, Los Angeles has been the epicenter of many an infamous duel. Paris vs Nicole. Lohan vs Duff. The Airborne Toxic Event vs Pitchfork.

Now, comes the soon-to-be-historic duel of Divisadero vs Marvelous Toy. Both bands will be celebrating the release of their respective new recordings together at pehrspace on Friday. In this corner, Divisadero's debut album Lefty, a sonic wash of melancholy and musical metaphors wonderfully tied together to tell the sad tale of an emotionally and physically scarred boxer (yes, it's a concept album -- and a damn good one). And in that corner, Marvelous Toy's new EP "All Is Quiet" manages to once again prove a 4-piece can sound just as good as all those fancy orchestral ensembles while lyrically keeping to that Americana meets British folk troubadour feel that we all love. Refereeing tonight's bout will be One Trick Pony who could very well step into the Octagon at some point for a little elimination cage match action since they'll most likely be playing new songs off their upcoming record too.

So there you have it, the main event. Get ready to ru... BYOB.
