Ladytron plays the John Anson tonight. Now less androgynous than before. A little something for everybody tonight (except the metal and punk fans).
Ladytron / CSS @ John Anson Ford (Sold Out) – For fans of danceable rock. The John Anson Ford is one of my favorite venues in town, but nobody ever seems to play there. While these don’t seem to be the right kinds of bands to take advantage of the place, it should be fun. I’m not much of a fan of electro music, but Ladytron has always been much more melodic. I enjoy the new record quite a bit. Unlike a lot of bloggers, I don’t get CSS’s hipster-baiting dance-rock in any way.
Joseph Arthur @ El Rey ($15) – For singer-songwriter fans. He’s got a few songs I like, but he’s basically a slightly hipper version of Chris Martin from Coldplay. I saw him on Letterman recently and the outfits were out of control. His band has apparently spent a lot of time studying ironic, hipster fashion.
Matmos @ Jensen Rec Center ($20) – For fans of experimental electronic music. Their latest album featured ten songs about famous gay and lesbian philosophers, writers, filmmakers and musicians. They’ve also worked with Bjork.
Bettie Serveert / The Parson Red Heads / The Minor Canon @ Spaceland ($12) – For the indie rockers. I haven’t seen Bettie Serveert in over a decade. Do you think they know they’re Japanese label mates of my friends the Foxymorons? I really like The Parson Red Heads and I’ve only seen them once. They’re doing the free Monday night residency at the Echo in December.
Head Like a Kite / Catfish Haven @ Cinespace ($5) - I wrote about both these bands earlier this week.
Ferraby Lionheart / Delta Spirit @ Silverlake Lounge ($8) – This show’s being presented by the Rockinsider.com. You can email her to get in for $5. Click on her link to the right for MP3s and more information. I’m starting to see Ferraby Lionheart’s name a lot, but don’t know much about him/them?
Daedelus / DJ Nobody @ the Echo ($10) - For the underground hip hop fans.
Method Man with Masta Killa and Inspectah Deck @ House of Blues ($27.50) – For the hip hop fans.
Black Angels / The Tyde @ Troubadour ($12) – For the Brian Jonestown Massacre fans. Black Angels are from Austin and seem to really like Anton from BJM. The Tyde are an upbeat-Felt inspired local band that I enjoy and write about quite a bit. Download Black Angels’ “The First Vietnamese War”

Mickey Champion @ Little Pedro's - For the soul fans.

Joseph Arthur singing and painting on stage. Beautifully moving or terribly pretentious?
