Wednesday's Options (10/17/07):
Bob Mould (acoustic) @ the Roxy ($12) – I’m a huge Husker Du and Sugar fan and I liked Mould’s first couple of solo records. Tonight’s he previewing his new live DVD and playing a 30 minute solo acoustic set and doing a Q&A session. My old roommate booked Sugar in Lawrence, KS around 1995 or so and I was backstage before the show started. I couldn’t believe how nervous Mould was. Once they got on stage they blasted through song after song without even acknowledging the audience. It was such an onslaught and they sounded so great that stage presence didn’t matter.
Club NME: The Subways / Mobius Band @ Spaceland ($12) – The Subways are an upbeat British group of kids who sound like they really like Nirvana. They’ve played Glastonbury, Lollapalooza and Leeds. Mobius Band is an electro-rock band that leans more towards the introspective and less towards the dance. They've got good drink specials too.
The Black Lips @ the Glasshouse in Pomona ($12)
Carla Bozulich / Pocahaunted @ the Smell ($5)
The Youngs @ the Scene
Low End Theory Club: R.A.W. / Zechs Marquise @ Airliner – Their one year anniversary.
Matt Pond PA / Jesca Hoop @ Troubadour ($15)
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.
