Live Music Options: 6/7/10 - 6/13/10
Karen Elson Plays Spaceland on WednesdayOnce again it's an embarrassment of riches for local live music fans. Thoughts with Daniel Lanois for a speedy recovery...
Monday 6/7/10
[Pick of the Night] Andrew Bird @ Largo ($30) – Tickets still remain for the intimate performance.
[Recommended] Delta Spirit @ Amoeba (Free) – 7:00 PM show; Their new record comes out tomorrow and it’s worth checking out.
[Recommended] Thao and Mirah w/ Most of All / The Sweet Hurt @ Bootleg ($15) – I like Thao and I like the Sweet Hurt but don’t know much about Mirah.
[Recommended] Herbie Hancock @ Grammy Museum ($25)
[Recommended] Quadron / Suckers / Hot Hot Heat (according to Buzz Bands) @ Bardot (Free w/ RSVP) - I heard Quadron on KCRW the other day and it sounded really good. They're a Danish soul band that sounds pretty legit.
Rainbow Arabia / Secret Circuit / Japanther / Pizza! @ The Echo (Free) – Rainbow Arabia is the resident and at the Echo in June. Tribal-electro-dance music. I was confused by one of their first shows at Spaceland but I’ve heard they’ve gotten a lot better.
We Barbarians / Ezra Furman and the Harpoons / Tijuana Panthers / The Romany Rye @ Spaceland (Free) – We Barbarians is the Monday night band at Spaceland. They used to be in the Colour.
Line and Circle / Evan Voytas / Kid Is Qual / Bikelock @ Silverlake Lounge (Free) – Line and Circle is doing the residency at the Silverlake Lounge.
MC Chris / MC Lars with YTCracker / Math the Band @ Troubadour ($14)

Wednesday 6/9/10
[Pick of the Night] Karen Elson / Neverever / Cobra Lilies @ Spaceland ($14) – Karen Elson is a model who is married to Jack White (but stay with me). While White produced her debut record she’s a veteran singer (as a member of the Citizens’ Band and Mildred and the Mice). The record’s a little schizophrenic, drawing from Nashville and Harry Smith collections and occasionally bringing in more modern elements. It’s well worth checking out, see some footage of her performing on her website.

The Good Life / The Parson Red Heads / Gavin Castleton @ Troubadour ($15)

Diana Ross @ Nokia Theatre
Thursday 6/10/10
[Pick of the Night] Fitz and the Tantrums / AB & the Sea / Sonny & the Sunsets @ Spaceland ($10) – Fitz and the Tantrums are doing a Thursday night residency. The real draw tonight (for me anyway) is San Francisco’s (almost) supergroup Sonny & the Sunsets. Kelley Stoltz is in the band! According to their Myspace page, they play “busted beach-pop” but pre-date a lot of these other bands doing the same thing. They’re Pitchfork approved (got an 8.0) and are playing the Pitchfork Music Festival.
[Recommended] The Sadies / The Loons / Sean Wheeler & Zander Schloss @ The Echo ($12) – Veteran rockers. Gary Louris has produced their last two albums.

Friday 6/11/10
[Pick of the Night] Ink-N-Iron Festival: Merle Haggard / Reverend Horton Heat / Wayne the Train Hancock / Mariachi El Bronx @ Queen Mary Events Park ($35 / $70 for all three days)
– I’m not that into ink or iron, but I’m super into Merle Haggard.
[Recommended] Dr. John @ Canyon Club in Agoura Hills ($30) – Old Mac Rebbenack. If you’re watching Treme at all, then you know who this guy is. Coincidentally, I started to really explore New Orleans sounds about a year ago. Dr. John’s one of the most important guys to study. Pick up Gris-Gris for starters. He’ll be at the Grammy museum on Monday the 14th.
[Recommended] Karen Elson @ McCabe’s ($15) – If you miss her at Spaceland on
Wednesday night.
[Recommended] Delorean / Wait.Think.Fast @ The Echo ($10) – Spanish band on the Matador Records offshoot, True Panther. Recent coverboys on XLR8R and Pitchfork darlings. This is about the closest thing to dance music I can listen to.
[Recommended] Helen Stellar / 22-20s / The Pink Noise @ Spaceland ($7) – Back after their recent Monday night residency.
Dirt Dress / Ghostporn / Grand Lake @ Pehrspace – Our buddies at Aquarium Drunkard are big Dirt Dress fans.

Basia @ Club Nokia
Jaguar Love / All Leather / Memory / Batwings Catwings @ Thesex ($7) – Night three in town.
Saturday 6/12/10
[Pick of the Night] Tortoise / Dasboton @ Troubadour ($25) – I still have some pretty vivid memories of being blown away by Tortoise back at a mid-90’s show in Lawrence, KS. They’re responsible for a lifelong love of the vibraphone.
[Recommended] The Tartans / Catwalk / Sea Lions / The Avocados @ The Smell ($5) – Yay records night at the Smell. Jangly, twee-ish stuff out of Ventura. Worth a look if you’re not tuned into it yet.
Rose’s Pawn Shop / Old Man Markley @ Spaceland ($8) - Record release show for the local folk/bluegrass/Americana band.
Murs / Nocando @ House of Blues Sunset ($20)

Ticket Giveaway - The Henry Clay People at Spaceland
Just in time to soundtrack your summer barbeque is the third long player from Glendale's finest citizens, The Henry Clay People. Somewhere on the Golden Coast comes out next Tuesday (June 8th) via TBD Records (home to Radiohead and Autolux amongst others) and delivers 11 guitar rock anthems. The record's a natural musical progression that pushes them farther from their early, indie/Pavement sound (although I do hear a little bit of "Major Leagues" in "Two Lives At the End of the Night") and more in a bluesy/Stones direction (Jordan Huddock's piano highlights that vibe on a few tracks).
But this is classic rock'n' roll drinking music, and the band's got a record release party scheduled for Tuesday night at Spaceland (CDs and vinyls will be available for sale). It's the last chance you're going to get to see them for a while (at least until Fall), as they're heading out on the road with Silversun Pickups and Against Me!.
To win tickets to this record release show email me [dukeufo at gmail] with the name of your favorite place to drink in LA. Please put "Henry Clay Person" in the subject line. The contest closes Tuesday at Noon.
