Monday Night Residencies 5/7/07

Oakley Hall Play Spaceland Tonight
I had a great time at Stagecoach this weekend. No time for that now. I'll post a review and a bunch of photos later this week.
Tonight's Pick:
Gliss / Oakley Hall / McCarthy Trenching @ Spaceland (Free) – Gliss is doing the Monday night residency this month at Spaceland. They play dreamy, electro-y pop. I haven’t seen them in a long time, so I’m looking forward to seeing them again. Tonight they’re joined by two of the bands that have been on the road supporting Bright Eyes. Oakley Hall are a powerful, retro live band. Kind of what you wish a lot of the Echo Park hippie bands sounded like. They just signed to Merge. I don’t feel like their albums have done them justice yet. Download “Lazy Susan” and “Living in Sin in the USA” McCarthy Trenching are on Americana band from Omaha on Team Love (the label that put out Jenny Lewis’ album).
Also worth checking out:
Bodies of Water / Western States Motel @ the Echo (Free) – Bodies of Water are the local band doing this month’s Echo residency. They’re hyperactive indie rock.
The High Society @ Silverlake Lounge (Free) – All the bands doing eastside residencies this month have a different crowd, but I'll make it out to at least one of each of their shows. The High Society is Jason Moore’s jammy band. They’re a talented group of musicians who play rootsy, R&B style rock ‘n’ roll and have the ability to get people off their asses and dancing.
