Make it an Echo Park Sunday

Go See:

Artichoke @ Sea Level 4:00PM (Free) – These guys are a fun band that don’t necessarily fit in with a lot of other LA bands. Their last album was an alphabetical tribute to scientists. But on Sunday they’re celebrating the release of their new album, a tribute to Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols. You can stream a couple of songs at their site.

then get some food at Masa or Rodeo, maybe a drink at Little Joy or Short Stop

Then:

Smiths/Morrissey Night @ the Echo (free before 11PM / $5 after) – The Tyde, Lavender Diamond, Winter Flowers do Morrissey and Smiths covers. Make sure you congratulate Lavender Diamond on signing with Matador in the U.S. and Rough Trade throughout the rest of the world. Impressive….yet another LA band poised to breakout on the national level.
