This has to be one of the most non-indie rock weeks in LA in a looong time. There's some good non-indie stuff mixed in though.
Monday 8/11/08
[Recommended] Warpaint / Megapuss / Rainbow Arabia / Captain Ragz @ Spaceland (Free) – I heard the Warpaint show last Monday was insanely packed. It figures to be even worse tonight with Devendra Banhart’s other band (with the guy from Priestbird), Megapuss playing. Rainbow Arabia features Danny from Wiskey Biscuit and Future Pigeon (and they got a pretty good review on Pitchfork today).
Abe Vigoda / The Urxed / Soft Circle / Bow Ribbons / Lucky Dragons @ the Smell ($5) – Abe Vigoda recently got a really good review on Pitchfork.
