Black Francis Plays Safari Sam's TonightTuesday's Picks (10/16/07):
In-Store Alert: The Bird and the Bee @ Amoeba 7:00PM (Free)
TiVo Alert: PJ Harvey on Leno
Black Francis / Eastern Conference Champions @ Safari Sam’s ($20 / Free to the first 50 people who show up who are over 21) – Night two of two. He’s usually very entertaining and it’s a good room to see him in. Plus if you get there before 9:30 PM there’s a good chance you’ll get in free.
Figurines / Dappled Cities @ Spaceland ($10) – Figures are a Danish indie band that frequently gets compared to Modest Mouse and Built to Spill. Dappled Cities are an Australian indie band that’s gotten favorable reviews (including a 7.8/10 on Pitchfork) and comparisons to just about every indie band as well as Split Enz and Todd Rundgren. They’re on local label Dangerbird here in the States.
Patrick Wolf @ El Rey ($19) – Pitchfork approved (his most recent album scored an 8.3/10) flamboyant 24 year old Brit. I’ve only heard the songs on his Myspace page, but they sound pretty good.

Also Appearing:
Matthew Dear’s Big Hand’s / Mobius Band @ the Echo ($12) – Another Pitchfork approved show. They gave Matthew Dear’s latest album a 7.9/10. He was heavily influenced by Detroit house, but his latest is more of a pop album.
Jimmy Eat World @ Wiltern (Sold Out) – JEW’s still playing that uplifting emo-pop music for kids. I saw them at the Roxy about eight years ago.
Dashboard Confessional @ Orpheum ($27.75) – I remember seeing this dude lead his acoustic singalongs on MTV about seven years ago (following in JEW’s footsteps). He really connected with a lot of those sensitive high school kids.
Pat McGee Band / The Kin @ Troubadour ($15) – Download The Kin’s “Together”
USSA / Oxbow @ Knitting Factory ($14)
Adult Swim Hip Hop Tour: Ghostface Killah / Witchdoctor @ UCLA Ackerman Ballroom (Free for UCLA Students) – You gotta have a UCLA ID for this one.
