Let's Go Sailing vs. Great Northern - Monday Night

Seems like some people really enjoyed Love is All on Friday night. I went to see Borat instead. Very funny. It's the first Monday of the month, so you've got some new residencies starting. Let's Go Sailing at Spaceland and Great Northern at the Echo. You should check them both out at some point. For those that like a little heavier rock, there's a free show from The Parlor Mob at Silverlake Lounge. Also a couple of popular indie bands in Hollywood.

Tonight's Pick:
Let’s Go Sailing / Bedroom Walls / The Coral Sea / Dappled Cities Fly @ Spaceland (Free) – Let’s Go Sailing is mostly Shana Levy along with a rotating cast of musicians from other bands you love (SSPU, Elvis Perkins, Irving, etc.). She’s got a new album coming out this month. Support local music and go see her during the Monday night residency. She plays pretty, mellow indie rock with strings.
Great Northern / Tigers Can Bite You / The Meeting Places / Dead Ponies @ the Echo (Free) – It’s a little weird and unfortunate that Let’s Go Sailing and Great Northern are both doing residencies this month since they have a lot of the same audience. This is a strong lineup and so are the lineups on the 20th (Division Day) and 27th (Irving). Hopefully fans get out to support both Great Northern and Let’s Go Sailing. Tigers Can Bite You is the new-ish band from Dave Woody of Fiver. The Meeting Places play dreamy rock and just did a Silverlake Lounge residency last month.
The Parlor Mob / The Delta Spirit @ Silverlake Lounge (Free) – For the heavy blues-based rock fans. The Parlor Mob are another Sabbath-type of band from New Jersey that recently signed to Capitol Records. Don’t believe me? Go to Myspace and have a listen. They were in the New York Times very recently. If you like the new round of bands like the Sword, Wolfmother, Priestess you should probably check them out for free in a tiny club while you have the chance. Also at Spaceland tomorrow night.
Starlight Mints / Bishop Allen / Tom Heinl @ Troubadour ($12) – Starlight Mints are indie rockers from Norman, OK. If you read that You Ain’t No Picasso blog then you probably know about Bishop Allen. He posts about them like four times a week.

Also Appearing:
Eef Barzelay (of Clem Snide) @ Hotel Cafe
Modest Mouse / Handsome Fur (featuring Dan Boeckner of Wolf Parade) @ the Wiltern ($30)
