A little something for everybody this weekend.
Friday 2/10/06
The Autumn Defense @ Tangier [$10] - The Autumn Defense is John Stirratt (bass player in Wilco) and Pat Sansone's band. I saw them at Largo a few years ago. They mostly play mellow folk-pop. Jeff Tweedy plays San Francisco on Thursday and San Diego on Saturday. Any chance he'll drop by on his only day off?
Bob Mould @ Troubadour [$15] - I've seen Mould play some amazing shows (particularly when he was with Sugar). I also saw him play one really boring show (acoustic at the El Rey). If you're lucky he'll play stuff from Husker Du, Sugar and his solo career.
Dalek @ Knitting Factory [$20] - Well respected experimental underground hip hop.
Ariel Pink @ the Echo [$8] - Freaky lo-fi hippie.
Saturday 2/11/06
Early Dolphin @ Sea Level Records 4:00 PM [FREE] - Local psych-pop band. It's free.
Download "Go Where You Want to Go"
Stars / The Elected @ Avalon [$20] - At times the music sounds too much like the Postal Service, but I liked the Stars' most recent album (and I honestly don't like that many female fronted rock bands). Too bad it's so expensive and I hate the Avalon.
Mason Jennings / Chad VanGaalen @ Troubadour [SOLD OUT] - Mason Jennings is a singer-songwriter who recently got signed to Isaac Brock's (Modest Mouse) label. The thing with singer-songwriters is you have to like their voice. Apparently other people do, because he sold out the Troubador. Chad VanGaalen is a singer-songwriter signed to Sub Pop. The thing about singer-songwriters is you have to like their voice [I'll stop now].
Download Chad VanGaalen's "Clinically Dead"
Sunday 2/12/06
Jeff Tweedy / Glenn Kotche @ The Fonda [SOLD OUT] - I'll be at the Monday night show with Nels Cline opening.
Mike Stinson @ Molly Malone's [$5] - LA's best local country artist.
The Clean Prophets @ Boardner's [$5] - Relatively new local band with a growing fanbase.
Army Navy @ the Echo 5:00PM [FREE for 21+] - Army Navy's music has been all over those teen shows that people in their thirties watch. They're working on a new album with Steve McDonald of Redd Kross.
Magic Bullets @ the Echo 10:00PM [FREE] - San Francisco band that loves the Clean, C86 bands, the Clientele and the Wedding Present.
Eleni Mandell @ Tangier [$10] - She continues her Sunday night residency for the NPR crowd.
