Weekend Music Options 10/13-07 - 10/14/07

Arthur & Yu Play Spaceland on Saturday


Saturday's Options (10/13/07):

Great Lake Swimmers / Arthur & Yu @ Spaceland ($10) – This is the Aquarium Drunkard’s pick and he’s got pretty damn good taste in music. It’s pretty mellow, introspective acoustic based music. Arthur & Yu’s a newish duo on Sub Pop affiliated label, Hardly Art that frequently gets compared to Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra. I’ve been told I’d really like them.
Download Great Lake Swimmers’ “Your Rocky Spine” and “I Am Part of a Large Family
Download Arthur & Yu’s “There Are Too Many Birds” and “Come to View (Song for Neil Young

Morrissey / Kristeen Young @ Palladium ($50) – This is the last night of eight nights. After this the Palladium will be closed down for extensive renovations.

Devendra Banhart / Hecuba @ Orpheum Theatre ($28) – The LA Weekly has a new interview with DB where he talks about his balls being saggy and being in possession of Jim Morrison’s couch.

Fujiya and Miyagi @ Echoplex ($15) – For the indie dance crowd. A lot of people were impressed with their show at Spaceland earlier this year.
