Everest Play the Viper Room on Monday and Conan O'Brien on Friday Monday 5/12/08
[Recommended] Everest / Film School / The Savages / Castaneda @ Viper Room ($10 or free w/ RSVP to Viper Room’s Myspace) – Here’s a great night of free music. Don’t forget that Everest’s new record came out last week. I’m patiently waiting for the vinyl. Be sure to catch them Friday on Conan O’Brien. Film School’s well worth catching too. Joe at Radio Free Silver Lake is a big supporter of the Savages.
[Recommended] Le Switch / Division Day / Henry Clay People / Princeton @ the Echo (Free) – I caught Le Switch’s show last week and now that I’ve absorbed the new record, it’s great to hear the songs live. Last week they did a rousing cover of McCartney’s “Monkberry Moon Delight.” This week is their “Covers Night” so they’ll do a song by each of the support bands and each support band will do a cover of Le Switch. Get there early and stay all night because The Henry Clay People go on first and are followed by Division Day.
[Recommended] Mezzanine Owls / We Barbarians / Eagle and Talon / Black Kites @ Spaceland (Free) – Night two of the Mezzanine Owls residency.
Porterville / Anchors Aaweigh / Daniel Ahearn @ Silverlake Lounge (Free)
Nikki and Aaron Embry / Lukas Haas @ Hotel Café – I finally saw Amnion last week at Le Switch’s residency. Aaron Embry’s an extremely talented musician. The first half of the set had a total mid-70s Stevie Wonder vibe and they got a bit more experimental in the second half. Tonight they’re playing acoustic.
Poi Dog Pondering @ Troubadour ($20)
Tuesday 5/13/08
Radio Alert: The Submarines on Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15 AM.

Radio Alert: The Submarines on Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15 AM.
[Recommended] Dr. Dog @ Hotel Café (Sold Out) – Early show at 8:00 PM. One of my favorite bands. This is a great chance to see them in a small venue before they come back in August to the El Rey.
Gran Ronde / Sleepercar / Aushua / The Republic Tigers @ Spaceland ($8 / Free with RSVP to Gran Ronde on Myspace) – Sleepercar is Jim Ward from At the Drive-In’s new band. The record’s good. Gran Ronde is doing a Tuesday night residency. They’re getting some good press – a lot of people compare the lead singer to Robert Smith (but the music’s more upbeat than most Cure).
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin / Port O’Brien / The Black Watch @ the Echo ($10)
Joe Jackson @ Orpheum Theatre ($35-45) – His new record’s good. I saw him in Austin a few years ago and had a lot of fun.
The VLA / This Century @ Knitting Factory
I Make This Sound / The Breakups / Avi Buffalo @ Silverlake Lounge ($8) – I Make This Sound are a lot of fun to see live.
Willoughby / The Billionaires / Western States Motel @ Hotel Café – Later show.
Brett Dennen / Missy Higgins / Mason Jennings @ Barnum Hall in Santa Monica ($25)
Tokio Hotel @ Avalon
Modified By Man @ Viper Room

Club NME: Efterklang / Slaraffenland / Karin Tatoyan @ Spaceland ($8) – Efterklang are a talented post-rock band from Denmark. Their two albums have gotten 7.4 and 7.9 from Pitchfork. Slaraffenland is Danish too and got a 7.9 from Pitchfork.
Langhorne Slim / Ferraby Lionheart @ Troubadour ($12) – Slightly askew folk troubadours
