Normally I don't pick DJs for my music pick, but tonight's a slow live music night. Plus, I like a lot of this music, the DJs have really good taste, and they also happen to be friends of mine.
Tonight's Pick:
NME Night - Club Madchester DJs / Tender Box @ Spaceland ($7 before midnight / $3 after) – Thanks to Tita and Johnny, I’ve been bombarded with daily Myspace bulletins about this for the past month. Madchester used to be a very popular regular club night but they're getting it back together for one night only. Here’s what they say: “We'll be playing The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Northside, James, Inspiral Carpets, Ride, Oasis, The Smiths/Morrissey, The Fall, Joy Division, New Order, Factory Records, 4AD Records, Creation Records, Sarah Records, C86 twee-pop, and much much more!!!” And like every Wednesday, from 12-2a.m. they have $2.50 PBR's, and $3.50 well drinks! The Tender Box is an East LA band that has an upbeat British sound and has gotten some love from Rodney on the Roq and Indie 103.
Also appearing:
Mike Stinson / Merle Jagger @ Safari Sam’s ($5) – …if you want more of an old school country night. Stinson is my favorite local country artist.
Handsome Family / Junia May and the Hymns @ El Cid ($12) – Here’s what NME had to say about the Handsome Family: “Each song is like an abridged Flannery O'Connor story read aloud by Johnny Cash, hovering somewhere between the metaphysical and the mundane...”
Slow Signal Fade @ Silverlake Lounge ($8) – Here’s what the Onion had to say about them: “…the quartet adorns steely clangs of post-punk with flourishes of shoegazer straight out of Lush or Curve.”
