The Clientele Play Spaceland on Friday and SaturdayLast week featured a lot more buzz bands than this week. I made it out to see Free Energy (they were ok, I thought the Blondes were a helluva lot better when they were still around), Gamble House (lots of potential, Grizzly Bear-esque, sound at the Silverlake Lounge not too complementary) and Bear Hands (totally won over the crowd (and me), if you like dance rock like Hot Hot Heat and Franz Ferdinand you should check them out).

[Pick of the Night] The Delta Mirror / Napela / Healamonster and Tarsier / Full Frontal @ The Echo (Free) – Pitchfork recently gave the Delta Mirror an 8 out of 10 for their track “He Was Worse Than the Needle He Gave You.” Pretty, pretty depressing.

White Arrows / Spirit Animal / Superhumanoids / The Fling / The Damn Sons @ Spaceland (Free) – Moonrats are the Monday night residency band this month, but that will start next week for some reason.
