The LA Record does a great job with their coversIf you're not going to SXSW, a few of the hyped bands are appearing in LA in the early part of the week. Some veteran bands who probably don't care about SXSW as much are appearing in the latter part of the week.
Monday 3/10/08
[Recommended] Slim Cessna’s Auto Club / Le Switch / 5 O’Clock Somewhere @ Safari Sam’s ($10) – I love Le Switch and think 5 O’Clock Somewhere are a lot of fun.
[Recommended] Crystal Antlers / We Barbarians @ Viper Room (Free with RSVP to Viper Room on Myspace) – Jax is loving the Crystal Antlers and I like what I’ve heard.
Ed Harcourt / The Chapin Sisters / Everest @ Echoplex ($12) – I’m a huge Everest fan.
Voxhaul Broadcast / Aushua @ Spaceland (Free) – Aushua’s worth checking out for anthemic rock along the lines of early U2 or Foreign Born. An Australian music showcase precedes the show starting at 7:00 PM and featuring: Yves Klein Blue, Whitley, Old Man River, Ash Grunwald and Dan Kelly.
[Hype Alert] Cut Copy / Walter Meego @ the Echo ($10 / advance tix sold out, so you might want to show up early) – Cut / Copy’s an Australian indie dance band with a ton of buzz going into SXSW. They’re also on the Coachella bill.
