Wednesday Night Music Options - 12/5/07

Wednesday 12/5/07:

Indie 103’s Bands in Toy Land: Spoon / Datarock / Pinback / Sea Wolf @ Avalon (Sold Out) – It’s a pretty good lineup.

Robert Francis / Emily Jane White / Big Search @ Tangier ($8) – This is a quality singer-songwriter showcase. Big Search is a side project of Matt, the lead singer of Foreign Born.

Nels Cline Singers / Eugene Chadbourne @ Safari Sam’s ($10) – I like the sound of the electric guitar, but Nels can be a bit much. We get it, you’re an incredible guitar player. Like that last Wilco show at the Greek. Wilco’s playing all those mellow, understated songs and then Nels would interrupt the calm in his bright red, peacock shirt and shred a guitar solo. He even did it on the lap steel.

The Spice Girls @ Staples Center ($120) – I just searched and found tix in the 26th row. I’m not just trying to be an indie dick, but I don’t think I can name one Spice Girls song.

David Garza @ Largo – He was influenced by Paul Simon way before Vampire Weekend was influenced by Paul Simon. And he’s got a song “Who Is Sylvia.”

Kind Hearts & Coronets @ Mr. T’s Bowl – Mr. T’s Christmas show. Surprise guests are promised.

The Dilettantes / Electromagnetic / Tom McShane @ Silverlake Lounge ($8) – Joel Gion was the tambourine player in Brian Jonestown Massacre. I can’t say that I’m crazy about his singing voice, but if you’re into BJM this might be a good scene for you tonight.

Club NME: Bloodcat Love / The Lieutenants / Hollerado @ Spaceland

Shiloe / Repeater @ Boardner’s

Jesse Malin @ Hotel Café – Ryan Adams’ buddy.

Brittney Elizabeth @ Knitting Factory ($12)

Cut Chemist / Edan @ Silent Movie Theatre (CANCELED) – Yo mang, this show ain’t happening anymore.
