Tonight – I’d suggest you drop by Spaceland to check out Andy Clockwise. I haven’t seen them in concert, so I can’t vouch for the performance, but the rhythmic melodies on songs like Man And The Monkey and My Generation are cool to listen to. They also sound like they have great versatility – check out Everybody’s In A Band – to see just how much range they have. Hear all the songs at www.myspace.com/andyclockwise.
Considering I was not fortunate enough to get tickets to John Butler Trio at Troubadour before the show sold out, Tuesday my recommendation has to be Cinespace for DIM MAK Tuesdays and Mark The Cobrasnake’s Birthday event. It should be a great dance party and I imagine there will be some surprise guest appearances (anyone remember the last birthday at Dim Mak Tuesdays when Bangalter showed up?!??!)
Wednesday I’ve got two recommendations – Voxhaul Broadcast and The French Semester at Pershing Square downtown in the early evening for some LA homegrown indie music. On the Westside, the talented The Muddy Reds will be playing their blend of jam and rock at Dakota Live Music Lounge.
Thursday there is too much rock music to choose from – Wavves at The Smell, Semi-Precious Weapons at The Viper Room, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros at Hammer Museum, Rumpsringa and Haim at The Roxy. Depending on what flavor of rock you like – that will dictate your choices. FYI, Semi-Precious Weapons is playing several days in a row at The Viper Room and should not be missed if you can make it out.
Friday is hitting strong with an undoubtedly packed house at Troubadour for UK bad asses La Roux; fun old-school hip-hop stylings celebrating their 20+ year careers from De La Soul at The Key Club and on Conan; and the bananas dance party that is Girl Talk at the Fox Theater in Pomona (where, allegedly, you can get in for free with the right number of Squirt cans/bottles).
Saturday will dose LA with some more good music – Glass Candy and Cut Chemist being my top picks. Unfortunately, I will be out of town.
The week finishes up with my hometown (and high-school) homie, Kid Cudi at the House of Blues – Sunset performing his smash hit Day N Nite, hopefully with some of my other favorite material from him (“Embrace The Martian”, “That New New”; “50 Ways to Make A Record”; etc.) with Asher Roth also performing.
