Monday Night Music Options 5/14/07

Augie March Play Spaceland Tonight
Tonight's Free Options:
The High Society / Dave Gleason @ Silverlake Lounge (Free) – The High Society’s the closest thing Echo Park ahs to a great Southern rock, boogie, bar band. You’ll recognize the members from a bunch of other bands. Dave Gleason’s a quality singer-songwriter from San Francisco.
Gliss / Augie March / @ Spaceland (Free) – Gliss continues its Monday night residency. Breathy, emotional lyrics and pretty rocking beats. Augie March is an Australian band. Pitchfork had this to say about them: “…they make literate, studied music richly adorned with unexpected turns of phrase, both lyrical and musical. That the Australian quintet has barely secured reliable distribution in North America is a minor crime-- with bands like the Decemberists and Belle & Sebastian in the ascendant, they're a natural fit.”
Bodies of Water / Kind Hearts & Coronets / Listing Ship / Frankel @ the Echo (Free) - Solid lineup of local bands .
Also Appearing:
Daedelus @ Temple Bar ($7)
RJD2 / Pigeon John @ Fonda ($20) – On his latest album, RJD2 tried to reinvent himself from an underground hip-hop dude to a more sunshiney indie pop dude. The results were not so good.
