Tuesday Music Picks - 12/12/06


Tonight's Pick:
Spank Rock @ Safari Sam’s ($15) – Vulgar party music for the indie dance crowd. Their new song poses this question to Lindsay Lohan, “Why you showing them coochie lips when you get up outta your car?” or something like that. As Borat would say, “like a gypsy’s sleeve.”
Also Appearing:
Wolfmother / Pink Mountaintops @ the Palladium (Sold Out) – There were a lot of bands in 2006 doing the Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC 1970’s arena rock thing. Wolfmother was probably the most commercial sounding and commercially successful.
Stevenson Ranch Davidians / Sparrow’s Gate @ Silverlake Lounge ($7) – The Stevenson Ranch Davidians are one of the local bands that I have every intention of seeing, but I just haven’t done it yet. Kinda of a spacey Verve-y, Spacemen 3 sound. Download “Let It All Go” If you can’t see them tonight, they’re opening for the Parson Red Heads at the Echo next Monday. I don’t know much about Sparrow’s Gate, but the Rock Insider is a big fan and she’s organizing a carpool from their first show tonight to their second show tonight (at the Scene).
Lemon Sun / Low vs. Diamond / Satisfaction @ the Echo ($5)
Comedians of Comedy @ Troubadour (Sold Out) - Several of my favorite standup comics working today. Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Zach Galifianakis, Brian Posehn, Maria Bamford, H. Jon Benjamin, Eugene Mirman, Bob Odenkirk, Doug Benson, Morgan Murphy, Blaine Capatch, & special guests.
Sparrow’s Gate / Nik Freitas @ the Scene ($5)
The Now People @ Spaceland (?) – Here’s one for the record collector crowd. A couple of these guys play with Brian Wilson’s band.
