Live Music Pick: American Analog Set


American Analog Set @ the Knitting Factory [$12] -

I've been a casual American Analog Set fan for the past decade or so. I really like their first couple of albums but haven't listened to them much lately. Apparently this is their last full-fledged tour (but they insist they're not breaking up). If you're not familiar with their music, it's really mellow, headphone stuff (drone-pop?). If you're a Galaxie 500 and Stereolab fan it might be of interest to you.

There are a couple of other shows tonight:

The Magic Numbers @ Troubadour [$15 - the early show is sold out, but looks like tix are available for the late show] - I'm very unimpressed with the songs I've heard. I don't like his voice at all. Go at your own risk. They did a set on KCRW this morning and the best part of it was the Beyonce cover (but David Byrne already did it a lot better).

Kennedy @ Largo - Good, silly fun.
