Thursday Night Music Options 4/19/07




Tonight's Pick:
Now Blog This: The Clean Prophets / The Pity Party / The Western States Motel / The Valley Arena @ the Scene ($5) – You Set the Scene (that's me), Little Radio, Radio Free Silver Lake and Rock Insider each picked one band to perform. DJs Kevin Bronson (LA Times Buzz Bands) and DJ Number One (Sylvia) will be spinning. The Clean Prophets put out one of my favorite records of 2006, so I'm very happy they agreed to play my slot. The Onion recently praised them, pointing out the members' garage rock backgrounds and how they mix it with 1980's British emotiveness. Download "Tambourine Crown" and "Praise Is Poison" Also appearing are The Pity Party (who have toured with the Raveonettes), The Western States Motel (who had a song in the OC and have been featured on Spin.com) and Long Beach's The Valley Arena (who get compared to Fugazi). It should be a lot of fun and it's cheap. Download The Western States Motel's "Row of Homes" (courtesy of Spin)

Syd Barrett Tribute Night @ Bordello ($10) – About 20 bands doing one song each.
Xu Xu Fang @ Silverlake Lounge ($8)
The Bird and the Bee @ The Derby ($15)
Spindrift / Stevenson Ranch Davidians / The Sky Drops @ the Echo ($7)
