Tonight's Live Music Options - Friday 12/8/06


Tonight's Pick:
Akron/Family @ the Echo ($12) – For the freak folk fans. Here’s what Michael Gira of the Swans said: “the music veered from gentle American country folk to unabashed electronic noise to gathering and erupting crescendos, to extended skronk improvisations that then suddenly cut to an LSD version of a backwoods barbershop quartet or a Louvin Brothers spiritual – sometimes all within the course of one ridiculously long “song” Download “Gone Beyond
Other Options:
The Aquabats @ El Rey (Sold Out)– Pop ska band for people who embrace their nerdiness.
Hot One / Feather @ Spaceland – Hot One features Nathan Larson who was the backup singer and one of the songwriters in Shudder to Think. Feather is Jonny Polonsky’s new band.
Jana Hunter @ Hotel Café – Slightly less freaky folk.
HDR @ Safari Sam’s ($5) – Heavy rock ‘n’ roll.
Damien Rice @ Orpheum (Sold Out) – Sensitive singer-songwriter
