Monday Night Music Options 4/23/07


I'm not sure if I'll be around a computer for the next few days, so here's a sneak peek at next week.

Monday's Pick 4/23/07:
Wires on Fire / Qui / Dead Ponies @ Silverlake Lounge (Free) – These are all intense, heavy bands. I haven’t seen Qui since they added David Yow (Jesus Lizard) as a member, but I was recently at a party with him. Complete mentalist.

Also Recommended:
The Minor Canon / Everest / Liam Finn @ Spaceland (Free) – This is your next to last chance to see The Minor Canon at their Monday night Spaceland residency. They put out one of my favorite albums of the young year. Liam Finn is the son of Neil Finn (of Crowded House). Everest is a relatively new LA band that I’m very curious about. It features Russ Pollard, Jason Soda, Joel Graves, David Latter and Rob Douglas who have played with Alaska!, Earlimart, Slydell, Folk Implosion and Great Northern.
The Black Pine / Happy Hollows @ the Echo (Free) – I’ve heard good things about the Black Pine. Happy Hollows are one of the new, ubiquitous bands on the east side that everybody’s talking about. They play high energy indie music. .
Iggy Pop & The Stooges @ the Wiltern (Sold Out) – The new album hasn’t gotten panned by the critics, but it’s still Iggy and the Stooges. They’re going to play their classics too.
The Henry Clay People @ Mr. T’s Highland Park (Free)

Not familiar with her:
Rosie Thomas @ Hotel CafĂ© – Delicate singer-songwriter and pal of Sufjan Stevens.
