Live Music Options: 2/9/09 - 2/15/09


I finally got out of the house last week. I started the week with Le Swith and The World Record at Spaceland - both were really good (Whispertown 2000? - not so much). Then a good night at the Echo for the Fruit Bats (with a guest appearance by James Mercer of the Shins). And Saturday was a really unusual night at Spaceland. Country music legend Charlie Louvin, power outages and a guest appearance by Lucinda Williams - more on that later.
