Weekend Music Options 6/16/07 - 6/17/07

Saturday 6/16/07
Frankel @ Sea Level (Free) - The last official in-store ever. The sale prices are kicking in, so if there are any indie CDs you've been wanting you might take a look.
Check Yo Ponytail: Dan Deacon / Juan Maclean (DJ Set) / Juiceboxxx @ EchoPlex ($10) – Is Dan Deacon proof that indie dance hipsters will listen to anything? Is this what Cobrasnake will look like in ten years? I have a lot of questions.
Lavender Diamond / Winter Flowers / Anders & Woods @ Troubadour ($10 adv / $12 dos) - Lavender Diamond is calling this their CD release show. Their debut full-length was recently released by Matador Records.
The Rosebuds / Land of Talk @ Spaceland ($10) - Indie rock duo on Merge recently released their third album.
The Clean Prophets @ High Energy Constructs (990 n. Hill St. #180) – Kick off party for West Coast tour with their new bass player.
Teenage Talking Cars @ the Smell ($5)
Hang the DJs: Chow Nasty @ Echo ($8)
The Fratellis / Division Day @ Avalon ($16) - The All Music Guide praises the Fratelli's, "bright, dancey, Scottish garage rock." Division Day are playing the big Sea Level Going Away Party next Friday at Safari Sam's (presented by us). I hope to see you all there.

Sunday's Pick:
The Creators Series: Pop Levi / No Age @ EchoPlex ($10) - Doors open at 7:00PM for this show. Pop Levi's the former Ladytron member with the T. Rex fascination. Originally the Handsome Furs were supposed to play this show, but they had visa problems. Instead, it's a great chance to see No Age. No Age is one of the Smell-affiliated bands that I've never managed to see. They're local band who recently got some nice love from Pitchfork. The lead singer of Deerhunter also called them his favorite new band.

Also Appearing:
The Queers @ Safari Sam’s ($12 adv / $15 dos) - Veteran, goofy, non-queer punk-pop band.
Keren Ann @ Troubadour ($15) - KCRW friendly singer.
Grand Ole Echo: Blood on the Saddle @ the Echo (Free) – The county-centric free barbeque at the Echo happens at 5:00PM.
Summer Camp: Simon Dawes @ Little Radio ($10) – There are also two unannounced bands. I know who one of them is, and I’m definitely a fan.
Bebel Gilberto @ El Rey ($30) – Brazilian singer for the NPR crowd.
One AM Radio / Daedelus @ Tangier ($10) – Mellow indie electronic, singer-songwriter
Anavan / Juiceboxxx @ the Smell ($5)
