Kind of a light week for live music...

Last week was good though. I saw Tame Impala on Monday night. Good crowd. I wasn't super impressed (cool sound, but the songs weren't great and the vocals didn't do anything for me) , but they've got some potential. On Thursday night I had a great time seeing Devo at Hollywood Park. Only $8 to get in and I walked away with $86 in gambling winnings. On Friday I caught a little bit of the Les Blanks/Le Switch show at the Grand Star in Chinatown. Hadn't been there in about six years....
