Live Music Options 4/28/08 - 5/4/08

The Dodos Play the Natural History Museum on Friday
I had a lot of good intentions to make it to shows last week, but only ended up seeing Rademacher, Airborne Toxic Event and Radars to the Sky. This week is heavily loaded on Monday. I may also try to make it out on Wednesday for the Entrance Band (and possibly go to Stagecoach).
Monday 4/28/08
[Recommended] Radars to the Sky / The Flying Tourbillon Orchestra / The Western States Motel / I Make This Sound @ the Echo (Free) – I finally saw Radars to the Sky last weekend and I dug it. Good live band. This is your last chance to see them at their residency. Solid lineup.
[Recommended] Johnathan Rice / Nate Greely / Dawn Landes @ Spaceland (Free) – This is the last night of Johnathan Rice’s residency, so it’s a pretty safe bet that Jenny Lewis will be there. Stalkers.
