El-P Performs at the Troubadour TonightTonight's Picks:
El-P @ Troubadour ($18) – I just picked up that new El-P record. What I like about it is that it’s literate, but still hits hard. Jeff Weiss posted a much lengthier review today.
The Airborne Toxic Event / The Movies / The Monolators / Western States Motel @ the Echo (Free) – This is a very solid lineup. The Movies are one of my favorite LA bands. They’ve got a charismatic lead singer and a great sense of humor. Download “Rock in the Slingshot” Airborne Toxic Event has blown up so fast. Unlike way too many new bands, they’re not afraid of lyrical repetition and hooks. I’ve heard people compare them to the Killers and the Smiths. Download “Does This Mean You’re Moving On” (courtesy of Spin). Western States Motel is another relatively new local indie band with a growing fanbase. I haven't seen the Monolators yet, but their stuff on Myspace sounds pretty good.
Other Free Goodness:
Veruca Salt / Thee LA Gentleman Callers @ the Scene (Free)
Buffalo Roam / Castledoor @ Silverlake Lounge (Free)
Other Quality Stuff:
Dustin O’Halloran @ Hotel Café ($10) – Rocking the piano.
Midnight Movies / Kind Hearts and Coronets @ Viper Room ($10) – Midnight Movies have a record coming out on New Line on April 24th. I think people are really going to like it. Download “Coral Den”
IAMX @ Safari Sam’s ($10) – For the indie dance scene. Chris Corner of the Sneaker Pimps.
