The Decemberists Play the Hollywood Bowl on SaturdaySaturday's Pick:
The Decemberists / Band of Horses / Andrew Bird @ Hollywood Bowl ($20-90) – I was excited about this, then not excited and now I’m getting excited again. I like all three of these bands well enough. Band of Horses’ album is great but I’ve been disappointed the two times I’ve seen them live. Most people I talk to seem to be going to this show, but if you’re a friend and you want to go to this show for free, let me know. I think I have an extra set of tickets. The Decemberists are the ultimate nerd rock band (other than They Might Be Giants, of course). Tickets are still available in pretty much each section.
Also Recommended:
The Rentals / Goldenboy / Shana Levy (of Let’s Go Sailing) @ Spaceland ($18) – The Rentals are doing a Saturday night residency at Spaceland in July. I saw them a year ago at the Fonda and it was a good show. As you’ll remember, Matt Sharp was in Weezer when they were still good.

I'm quite excited about the Decemberists show, even more excited when my friend offered to buy tickets up front.
I'm a little worried though now that you mention Band of Horses not being so great live, cause that was a HUGE draw for me.
hopefully they're better tonight. the lead singer has charisma, but i've always thought they needed another guitar player to fill out the sound.
