Oh dear, so much to get to so little time...
We were gone for a couple of days. Saw a few bands across the pond, some of which will be doing la-underground shows in the near future. Blah blah blah.
Couple things to mention...
Temple Bar closes its doors tonight with its final show featuring Irish band Seneca. While the Westside does get a bad rap for being a weeping wallow of unhip bands, Temple Bar has always been a breath of fresh air in bringing eclectic and vibrant lineups to their stage every night. Some of our long-time favorite bands to see there over the years included Maimou, The Peak Show, Quetzal, Medusa, Brazzaville, Kneebody, The Toledo Show, Los Pinguos, Vagenius, Merrick and it's no secret that Metric played their earliest shows there when there were living in L.A. We thank you for a wonderful eight years...
Get digital: Wait Think Fast's new long EP/mini album Vuelve Al Mar out digitally through Origami Records. Their release show is scheduled for 11/18 at The Echo... Also out today is Rademacher's new digital EP ERA out now through JAXART. They play every Monday at The Echo for free... Lukas Haas' new self-titled digital EP is out today through Pulse. Haas plays at 10/21 at Molly Malone's.
Evangenitals end their Tuesday residency at T's tonight. It's been a hoot.
It makes us happy to no end to see both Los Angeles baseball teams in the postseason and both NY teams not. We wish both teams good luck. We also wish baseball was actually more interesting to watch.
We're helping with a show tomorrow at The Bordello. Hope to see you there.
