Here's a rundown of some live music happenings tonight in L.A.
@Spaceland: The Shore / The Fictions [$8] - For the regular folks. Comparing The Shore's first album to the Verve is probably fair. The Fictions sound really poppy/hooky.
@Troubadour: Ben Lee [$14] - For the aging indie rocker. Never very exciting live, but I did like that BREATHING TORNADOES album that came out on Grand Royal in 1999. And Noise Addict wasn't bad for a 13 year-old kid.
@ Avalon: Moving Units [$20] - For the dancey/energy drink crowd.
@ Fonda: Jello Biafra w/ the Melvins [$15] - For aging poli-punks. I was a huge Dead Kennedys fan in Junior High, but I haven't heard any of his new stuff in a very long time. I do know they cover Alice Cooper on the new record.
@ the El Rey: Cut Chemist /Breakestra / People Under the Stairs [$21.50] - For the backpack/white hip-hop kids. A friend recently gave me a bunch of his hip-hop mixtape albums. Pretty good stuff.
@ House of Blues: James Brown [$68] - For people with a lot of disposable income.
@ Silverlake Lounge: Peter Walker / Fly Better Broken [$5] - Peter Walker's album is out on Dangerbird Records (local label and home of Silversun Pickups and Sabrosa Purr). He's got Justin and Joey (Beck's old rhythm section) and Wilco-outcast Jay Bennett as guests. What I've heard sounds like a raspy voiced singer-songwriter.
