Really quick rundown of stuff to do this week since we know you're on your way out the door for that BEP/LMFAO show tonight (and after party at the Conga). Don't even front.
March 2010 Monday residencies cease to exist tonight. To be honest, we haven't been able to visit them all regularly this month but we'll try and stop by everything tonight... Tuesday, the big Uncovering A Cure record release show benefiting APLA at the Roxy. The record features tracks from Sabrosa Purr, Vanaprasta, Love Grenades, Ruby Friedman Orchestra, and many other local favorites. Castro, Robotanists, Pollyn, Oh Darling, are among those performing. Also, down the street go check out Juliette Commagere and Night Horse opening for Melissa Auf der Maur at Viper. And one of the Beatles is playing the Bowl too... Wednesday, listen up for Local Natives on MBE. Later, Free the Robots celebrates the release of their new record CTRL ALT DELETE at Low End Theory. Silver Lake Jubilee presents "Serenade Sunset" at El Cid with Spider Problem, Blue Jungle, Manhattan Murder Mystery, and The Health Club. And the one and only Evangelista is back at The Smell with Chris Corsano/Peter Kolovos Duo and Lucky Dragons... Celebrate April Fools at the Echoplex as The Onion presents "Our Dumb Book Event" with Division Day, Tom Lennon, and others. And We Are the World begins their residency at The Echo and HoneyHoney starts one of their own at the Hotel Cafe.
Happy birthdays this week to our ex-wives Charlotte Martin, Anna Nalick, Angela Poe, and Audrey Napoleon.
Pictured above is Henry's Dress last night at the Slumberland 20th Anniversary show at The Echo, which might have been one of the most highly anticipated nights of the entire year. Can't deny it was a bit strange to see people we hadn't seen in some 15 years but to have Henry's Dress, Boyracer, and Go Sailor on stage again made all the awkward moments off the stage worth it. Many of us were in our late teens and early 20's when these bands were releasing their first 7" singles so Slumberland basically hosted more of a high school reunion than anything else. Aislers Set, Tiger Trap, Black Tambourine and Velocity Girl would have been of course great to see again but just to have Linton and Vanden Heuvel in the same room was a beautiful thing (we've been hearing of an Aislers Set reunion for a long time). In any case, congratulations to Slumberland on 20 years of great indie pop records. On a related note, K Records' 30th anniversary is coming up and we're dying to see Lois, Pell Mell, and anything with Amelia Fletcher. Hint.
