The Long Blondes Play the Echo TonightPretty active night in LA.
Tonight's Pick:
The Dillards @ McCabe’s ($26.50) – There’s an 8:00PM and 10:00PM show. The Dillards are a bluegrass band that plugged in and were very influential in the development of country-rock. Doug Dillard was hard partying and teamed up with bad boy, Gene Clark on the seminal album, “The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard and Clark.” Chris Hillman considers it the greatest country-rock album ever. I’m reading a thick Gene Clark bio right now, with lots of tales of Doug and Gene causing lots of problems. Look at him now. I best he’s got some great stories.
Also Appearing:
The Long Blondes @ Echo ($14) – British, female fronted, upbeat and Pitchfork approved.
The Noisettes / The Maccabees / Pity Party @ Troubadour (Sold Out) – A couple of upbeat British bands with major label money/buzz behind them. The Noisettes are fronted by a black female who Pitchfork compares to Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and Gwen Stefani. The Maccabees are dudes. Get there early for LA’s the Pity Party.
The Mammals / Chapin Sisters @ Tangier ($10) – A newer band for the No Depression crowd.
Mere Mortals / Kind Hearts and Coronets @ Spaceland – Local lineup.
Southerly @ Knitting Factory ($8) – Singer-songwritery. Download “Soldiers” and “Dreams That Make Men Free”
Patrick Park @ Hotel Café – He’s also doing a Thursday night residency at Spaceland in July (in case Hollywood on a Friday night scares you as much as it does me).
Teddy’s Cheer Club / The Secret 6 @ El Cid (Free)
Upsilon Acrux / Silver Daggers / Bobb Bruno @ the Smell ($5)
Wailers @ House of Blues ($25) – For the reggae fans.
