So one of my favorite West Coast groups, The Parson Red Heads, found their way to the Blue Moon backdrop. Nice. http://www.myspace.com/redhead s http://www.theparsonredheads.c om/
Drums Play Spaceland Monday Night (and It's Free) Ray Davies put on a fantastic show on Saturday night at the Orpheum. If you get a chance to see him on this tour do not hesitate. More on that later. Another great week this week. If you're into buzz bands you might want to check out Drums tonight, The Big Pink on Wednesday, Tape Deck Mountain on Thursday, Neon Indian on Friday and The XX on Saturday. Some of those will be good, but I'm recommending a variety of [...]

[Let's see now, which direction is Universal City? ...] Silversun Pickups have been piling on the miles since they released their sophomore album "Swoon" — the L.A. quartet has played 33 shows since the middle of September. They're back on their home turf for today's inaugural LA 101 event at the Gibson Amphitheatre, headlining a main-stage lineup that includes Dengue Fever (7 p.m.), Matt & Kim (7:45) and the Dandy Warhols (8:40). And there's fine matinee entertainment on the KROQ-FM locals [...]

The Happy Hollows Monday Residency at Spaceland Starts This Week Sorry for the lack of posts, thanks for sticking with me. I caught Kris Kristofferson at the Walt Disney Concert Hall last night. You've got to be a fan of his poetry, because he's not a dynamic performer. That said, he's a legend and I was happy to see him for a second time. I've missed all the recent "secret" shows, but there are a few more this week... Monday 11/2/09 [...]
Kurt Vile Plays Spaceland on Friday Night Here's an abridged version of my live music options post. Pretty great weekend for shows. Friday 10/23/09 [Pick of the Night] Kurt Vile & the Violators / White Arrows / Under the Asbury @ Spaceland ($10) - Talented guy from Philly with a new album out on Matador. Jay Farrar & Ben Gibbard /John Roderick @ El Rey (Sold Out) - Performing the songs [...]
I saw the awesomeness that was the "East LA Rock n Roll Revue" with The Airborne Toxic Event , The Henry Clay People , Red Cortez twice last week, once here in DC and back home in upstate NY (the latter show also included the beautiful and ethereal harmonies of The Parson Red Heads , the main reason I wanted to see the show). But the job-that-pays-the-bills exploded with deadlines upon my return so I am a bit behind with posting the reviews/photos. I did, however, want to share one of the shining moments of [...]
I wound up at the Echoplex instead, getting the joy of seeing one of L.A.'s wondrous little surprises, He's My Brother, She's My Sister. Cali country is something I love with the fervor of a late convert, since even Buck Owens was little more than some jackass on TV until I moved my Dixie-fried ears out here for an accidental steeping in the Bakersfield Sound and its many variants. Robert Kolar and Felipe Ceballos from tough indie wide-boys Lemon Sun contribute heavily to Brother/Sister, with the whole, shifting, multi-piece concatenation in the great line of Gram Rabbit and the Parson [...]
I'm catching a flight home in a few hours to catch a ultra rare appearance on the other coast by The Parson Red Heads . With Red Cortez, The Henry Clay People, and The Airborne Toxic at Northern Lights in Clifton Park, NY. Short of being at Spaceland in LA a few years ago, I'm pleasantly shocked that I'm getting to see a lineup like that. But I wanted to just drop a note and say...the 500+ photos and review of the Red Cortez, The Henry Clay People, and The Airborne [...]

[mp3] The Roadside Graves: "Far and Wide" [mp3] The Parson Red Heads: "You can Leave It" [mp3] The Parson Red Heads: "Burning Up The Sky" Photos by Karp So, the age old adage held true: never see a show at Lit Lounge. Such was the case again on Saturday night. While both bands, California's The Parson Red Heads and New Jersey's Roadside Graves were both in [...]

[Birthday greetings go out to Matthew Sweet today. And, tonight:] Not a good thing when your band name is more memorable than your music. Portland quartet Starf*cker — who brings its modest dance-pop to the Echo tonight — is doing something about its career-assassinating name, anyway. The band just called upon its fans to participate in a name-change contest (newnameideas@gmail.com, if you are so inspired). I'm thinking something that suggests bright colors. ... Nice to see the Breakestra [whom I wrote about in the Times [...]
