Thursday Night Music Options 6/7/07

Is it sad when you're happy you only had to work 11 hours in one day? That's what happened to me yesterday.

Lots of good choices tonight, depending on the mood you're in.

Tonight's Options:

Let’s Go Sailing / Bedroom Walls / Whispertown 2000 / Quazar and the Bamboozled @ Troubadour ($10) – They were on tour when the national distribution kicked in, so this is the record release party for Let’s Go Sailing. They’re joined by three other quality local bands. I've written about LGS a lot. They're album was in my top 10 of local releases last year, they've been on KCRW a lot, their songs have been in Grey's Anatomy, etc....

Unsane / 400 Blows @ Spaceland ($12) – Veteran noise rockers.

Tennessee 3 @ Safari Sam’s ($25-$40) – For the country music fans. Johnny Cash’s “legendary band.” Once in college I passed on really good tickets (like first 10 rows good) to see Johnny Cash because I thought it was too expensive (like $20). I’ve regretted it ever since.

Mice Parade / Tom Brosseau @ the Echo ($15) – Mice Parade plays the easy on the ears indie electronic music.

The Kaiser Chiefs / The Airborne Toxic Event @ Henry Fonda ($23) – The Kaiser Chiefs always have one or two good tracks on each record. If you can’t get in tonight, local favorites, The Airborne Toxic Event are also playing Saturday at the Troubadour.

Henry Clay People / The Kris Special @ Mr. T’s Bowl – For the low key indie people.
The Mae Shi / Anavan @ the Smell ($5) – For the all ages punk rock crowd.
Burlesque a Go Go: Peachfuzz / The Shakes @ the Scene – A little Burlesque, a little Teenacide Records and a little Jim Freek.
Steel / The Prix @ Canter’s (Free)
The VLA @ Boardner’s
