Wednesday Night Music Options - 12/13/06


Anybody go to the KROQ Acoustic Christmas (I turned down free tix on Saturday, but nobody offered on Sunday), Beck at the Echo (too busy with other stuff) or Jet at Spaceland (not a fan of their music, but I heard Slash & Chris Robinson played before them and then jammed with them). I missed it all......
Tonight's Pick:
Benefit for The Tunahaki Foundation with Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs @ the Roxy ($18) – Not sure if Matthew and Susanna Hoffs are doing the covers thing or if they’re doing their other material? Either way, they’re both talented and worth seeing. The Bangles were one of those bands that had radio hits with some of their least interesting songs. I dare you to go back and listen to their first major label album if you doubt me. They even covered Merry-Go-Round on it (and Big Star on the next record). Pick up Matthew Sweet’s greatest hits the next time you’re at the used record store. You won’t regret it.
Also Appearing:
Free Moral Agents / Ammoncontact /Nobody (resident DJ) @ Airliner 2419 N. Broadway ($5) – For the underground, jazz and funk influenced hip-hop crowd.
Mike Andrews / Chapin Sisters @ Tangier ($10) – Andrews does a lot of soundtrack work: Donnie Darko, Me You and Everyone We Know and Freaks & Geeks (get that on Netflix immediately if you haven’t seen it).
Club NME w/ Freeform Five (DJ set) @ Spaceland ($10)
Dub Club w/ Triston Palma @ the Echo ($12)
Comedians of Comedy @ Troubadour (Sold Out) - Many of my favorite standup comedians....
