Weekend Music Options 5/5/07-5/6/07

Dios Play the Jensen Rec Center in Echo Park on Saturday


Looks like I'm officially going to Stagecoach this weekend. I skipped Coachella and now this...I'm really looking forward to it. I'll try to take a bunch of pics for once, since I doubt most of you will be in attendance.
Saturday's Pick:
Stagecoach Festival: Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams, Old 97’s, Chris Hillman / Herb Pederson, Richie Furay, Neko Case @ Polo Fields, Coachella ($167 for 2 day pass)
If you're not going to Stagecoach:
Dios (Malos) @ Rec Center Studios ($10 adv / $12 dos) – Spend Cinco de Mayo with your favorite local Latino indie rockers. I really like them. Download “Feels Good Being Somebody
Also Noteworthy:
Minus the Bear / Chin Up Chin Up @ EchoPlex ($16 adv / $18 dos) Download Minus the Bear’s “Pachuca Sunrise” Download Chin Up Chin Up’s “This Harness Can’t Ride Anything
Frog Eyes / Alex Delivery @ Spaceland ($8) – Music critics and indie snobs like Pitchfork and Other Music love Frog Eyes. Carey Mercer of Frog Eyes is in Swan Lake with Spencer Krug and Dan Bejar. Alex Delivery just put out an album on Jagjaguwar. Download Frog Eyes’ “Bushels” and Alex Delivery’s “Komad
Bedtime for Toys @ the Scene – They’re playing the Scene every Friday in May.

Sunday's Pick:
Stagecoach Festival: Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, Drive-By Truckers, Alejandro Escovedo, John Doe, Junior Brown, Garrison Keillor, Ricky Scaggs @ Polo Fields, Coachella ($167 for 2 day pass)
Also Noteworthy:
Ariel Pink / The Mae Shi / Skeletons and the Kings of All Cities @ El Cid ($10)
Bright Eyes / Gillian Welch / Oakley Hall @ Walt Disney Concert Hall (Sold Out) – Beautiful hall where you don’t get to see much indie rock. I’d love to see Oakley Hall there, but I guess I’ll wait for their free show at Spaceland on Monday.
Part Time Punks: Smiths/Morrissey cover night with The Prayers / Kind Hearts & Coronets ($5)
