Gregg Gillis (aka Girl Talk) Brings His Laptop to the Echo on Saturday Saturday Night's Pick:
Girl Talk / Matt & Kim / The Gray Kid @ the Echo (Sold Out) – Girl Talk is a crazy DJ who mixes and mashes together the biggest hooks from a wide variety of sources. It’s totally manic. I hear he runs around the crowd, takes off his clothes and tries to entertain live audiences as much as possible. I’ll probably be there.
Also Intriguing:
The Fucking Champs / Citay @ Spaceland ($12) – They’re an indie metal/prog band. If that means anything.
Rhett Miller / Western States Motel @ Troubadour (Sold Out) – When my friend Jerry lived in LA he dragged me to about ten Rhett Miller shows. If you wanna know the truth, I think he’s gay for Rhett Miller.
Plug Party: Great Northern / The Gray Kid / Foreign Born @ Little Radio Warehouse ($5) – This is a party to promote the Plug Awards. The actual awards are in New York City on the 10th (it’s hosted by David Cross and the Silversun Pickups will be playing along with Stephen Malkmus).
Sunday Night's Options:
The Switch @ Sea Level 4:00PM (Free) – A CD release party…
Talkdemonic / Jeff Merchant @ Spaceland ($8) – Talkdemonic is Lisa Molinari’s (of the Decemberists) other band. Here’s what the All Music Guide says about their most recent album: “If a mad-scientist of experimental music combined the styles of folk, ambient, and rock in a test tube, you might end up with the album Beat Romantic. The folk-tronic instrumental duo Talkdemonic weaves together a lot of sounds on this disc that have been arranged together quite seamlessly in the past, despite their disparate backgrounds.”
