![Los Angeles Needs... A Monday Update](http://www.la-underground.net/uploaded_images/april_featurei-724185.jpg)
Well, we think Los Angeles had quite a lively weekend despite half its occupants being elsewhere. Like, Elaine Layabout's "Hella Hipster Hoedown #2" was very much the place to be on Saturday with rollicking performances by Leslie and the Badgers, Cobra Lilies, Mississippi Man, and Roman Candles. And the Fuck Yeah Fest-sponsored night at Sync on Friday with Japanther, Ninjasonik, The Underground Railroad to Candyland, and Seasick was a complete madhouse (as seen above). So by all accounts it was a pleasant few days (with noticeably less traffic)... For those who watched Coachella through AT&T Blue Room, we were treated to a great performance by The Airborne Toxic Event, a live stream that had the welcome "technical problem" of repeating through the first few songs for about an hour. What we learned from that was that Coachella cameramen have a thing for a certain violinist's gams with more slow tilt-ups of her as shots of the rest of the band -- although at least it wasn't as revealing as Joss Stone's performance. Anyway, Coachella 2009 over. Let Coachella 2010 rumors now begin.
Residencies continue tonight. They have been crazy insane crazy. We're going to try and see a few tonight. Elsewhere, Saint Motel, Oliver Future, Aushua, and The Voyeurs at the Troubadour.
