Monday 7/13/09
[Pick of the Night] Last American Buffalo / Avi Buffalo / Evan Way / Greg Jong @ Silverlake Lounge (Free) – Get there by 10 to see Avi Buffalo. Evan Way doesn’t have the show listed on his Myspace page, so I’m not sure if he’s still on the bill.

Yak Ballz - Worst. Rap Name. Ever.
Kind of excited about The Veils at Spaceland. A friend at work recently turned me on to them.
