Sea Wolf Plays the Echo Tonight I made it out for the New Year at Spaceland last night. Very good show. They announced that they've got a new album coming out in August. Most songs start out mellow and the tension builds. Four guitarists in a band like that might be excessive, but why not?
Tonight's Pick:
Sea Wolf / Everest @ the Echo ($10) – Local heartthrob Alex Church was the bass player for Irving. This is his new band. Indie 103 and KCRW play the hell out of the first single “You’re a Wolf,” which is really good. The LAist is all over it. They’re heading out with label mates Silversun Pickups very soon. Get there early for Everest. They’re a relatively new band and don’t play much. I heard their last performance was great.
Also Appearing:
Tortoise @ El Rey ($20.50) – I haven’t seen the jazz rockers in over a decade, but they were great then.
Johnette Napolitano / the Minor Canon @ Hotel Café ($12) – Concrete Blonde was a good band and the Minor Canon’s a really underrated local band.
Club Tribute: The Music of the Beatles ($7) – Safari Sam’s has this club once a month with local bands covering great bands. Kind Hearts & Coronets and others will be doing the Beatles tonight
Josie Cotton / Nikki Corvette @ the Echoplex ($12) – My girlfriend is convinced that Regine from the Arcade Fire stole her complete look and essence from Josie Cotton. I have to confess that I didn’t know who the hell she was talking about. She reminded me that the song “Johnny Are You Queer” was in that great 80’s film, Valley Girl.
Castledoor @ Silverlake Lounge ($8)
Norah Jones / M. Ward @ the Greek (Sold Out) – Get there early for M. Ward. He’s a talented dude.
Franco Near Death / Icebird / Hello Menno @ Spaceland
