[Recommended / Hype Alert] Yeasayer / MGMT @ the Echoplex ($10) – Yeasayer made my best of 2007 list. Their debut album has a lot of great ideas and succeeds with a lot of them. Tickets have sold so well for this one, that apparently they moved it downstairs to the Echoplex. Download two of Yeasayer’s best tracks: “Sunrise” and “2080” I haven’t spent as much time with MGMT’s CD, but it’s got some good tracks too.
[Recommended] Correatown @ Pehrspace – Record release party
[Recommended] Talib Kweli @ House of Blues ($22.50)
Earthless @ The Mountain (Free) – What I’ve heard sounds good. From their Myspace page: “We play long instrumental,partially structured improvised rock-n-roll with a lot of ‘cosmic nodding.’”

Tim Finn / Miranda Lee Richards @ Troubadour ($22)

On August 9th 9:00 PM (PST), Universal’s Summer Concert Series at CityWalk welcomes hot, desert Country rock band "Smith & Pyle"! Comprised of actresses Shawnee Smith and Missi Pyle, and backed by the legendary Chris Goss, the first single off their debut album "It's OK to be Happy" will be released July 29th from their record label Urban Prairie.
You may recognize Shawnee from her role as Linda on the CBS series “Becker” and the hugely successful SAW horror film franchise, as well as her work in the Michael Bay films “Armageddon” and “The Island”. Missi is best known for playing Mrs. Beauregarde in Tim Burton’s “Charlie and The Chocolate Factory”, “Dodgeball” alongside Vince Vaughan and Ben Stiller, “50 First Dates” with Adam Sandler, and “Bringing Down the House” with Steve Martin. She will next be seen in this fall’s season premiere of “Pushing Daises” on ABC.
Admission is free, but it is a good rule of thumb to arrive early as the show is first come first serve (can not pre-purchase tickets). CityWalk is located at 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City, CA 91608. For more information about Smith & Pyle, visit http://smithandpyle.com/ .
