The Parson Red Heads Play Spaceland TonightThursday 10/18/07:
TiVo Alert: Band of Horses on Letterman; Spoon on Conan
Tonight's Pick:
The Parson Red Heads / Le Switch / Acute / The Weather Underground @ Spaceland ($8 / email Le Switch and get on the $5 list) – The Parson Red Heads are a good local band carrying on the tradition of the Byrds via the Beachwood Sparks but with way, way more people on stage. Their shows are a party on stage. Their heading out for a West Coast tour later this week and will be doing the Monday night residency at Spaceland in January. Le Switch’s music has slowly seeped into my consciousness throughout the year. They’ve been recording for the Aquarium Drunkard’s label and I’m excited to hear their new stuff. I asked my friend Donny to write a review of Acute’s show at the Troubadour a while back. Read it HERE. This is the EP release party for the Weather Underground.
Other Options:
Benefit for Kime Buzzelli: Entrance / Lavender Diamond / Winter Flowers @ the Echo ($10 minimum donation) – Some of the good Echo Park hippie hipster bands. I still haven’t seen Entrance yet, but I’m interested.
Two Gallants / Blitzen Trapper @ El Rey ($15) Two Gallants is a lo-fi indie folk band on Saddle Creek. Blitzen Trapper’s a 10 year old Portland band (with a pretty serious identity crisis) that recently signed to Sub Pop. I saw them at Spaceland recently and for every song they played that I liked, they followed it up with five that I thought were terrible.
Say Hi To Your Mom / The Velvet Teen @ Troubadour ($13) – Twee.
Eagles / Dixie Chicks @ Nokia Theatre (Sold Out) – The new Nokia Theatre was all lit up last night. Looks pretty fancy.
Electric Six @ Key Club ($15)
The Ringers @ Viper Room ($12) – They continue their Thursday night residency before heading to CMJ this weekend.
