Friday Night Live Music Options 10/12/07

Friday's Picks (10/12/07):

The Airborne Toxic Event / Low vs. Diamond / Castaneda @ Echoplex ($12) – Catchy, British inspired local band that’s gotten good press in the UK, lots of local airplay and seem to be on the brink of national exposure.

Aesop Rock / Black Moth Super Rainbow / Blockhead @ the Fonda ($18) – A couple of bands that intrigue me, but I haven’t heard the whole records.
Download BMSR’s “Forever Heavy” and “Sun Lips” and “The Afternoon Turns Pink”
Download Aesop Rock’s “None Shall Pass” and “Citronella”

Akron/Family / The Dodos @ Troubadour ($14) – Folky band on Michael Gira’s label.
Download “Ed Is a Portal” and “Phenomena”

The Hub Caps @ Mr. T’s Bowl – This is Josh Schwartz’s (from Bolero) cover band. Seeing them play the Stones and Neil Young songs is a very good time.

Morrissey / Kristeen Young @ Palladium ($55) – I saw him last night and it was really good. Only Morrissey can get away with triumphantly tearing off his shirt during the performance and tossing it into the crowd.
