Local Natives Are Doing the Spaceland Residency This MonthLast week I managed to see Radar Bros. and the Minor Canon. It was great to hear some new Radar Bros. songs and see the Minor Canon with a string section. On Friday night I saw Japandroids and Future of the Left. Both bands reminded me of a lot of the stuff I used to listen to in college. I'm not sure I've ever seen so many audience members take off their shirts at an indoor club in Los Angeles. Guess it was hot in the mosh pit...
