Friday 8/17/07

The Buzzcocks / The Adored @ Spaceland ($20) – Advance tickets sold out, so get there early to buy. The Buzzcocks will be at the Sunset Junction on Sunday, but the sound at Spaceland will be 1,000 times better.

Earlimart / The Happy Hollows / Castledoor @ Santa Monica Womens Club [1210 4th St.] ($12) – The new Earlimart album’s their best one yet.
