Unknown Mortal Orchestra Play the Troubadour and Satellite This Week
After a couple of slow-ish weeks, this week's really shaping up. The Troubadour, Satellite and Echo/Echoplex all have some great lineups. I caught Dolly Parton on Saturday. She's super charming and engaging (I could have lived without the Queen Latifah tribute?).
