See Her Runing Around She's The Girl About Town That You (Probably Haven't) Heard Of 3/4 - 3/9

The flu virus has been known to kill many a good intention, including (but most certainly not limited to) bloggers publishing concert options for the week when they are actually relevant.

Here are my picks now, for what they are worth. I'm keeping my intro short so that I can get this posted before the Theraflu that I just drank kicks in.

Here's what the week looks like:



TUESDAY 3/4:



The Raveonettes, and Be Your Own PET at El Rey Theatre

Bad Religion at The House of Blues/Sunset Strip

Thee L.A. Gentlemen Callers, Thee Emergency, The Vacation, and Blackbird & the Feather'd People at The Silverlake Lounge

Amnion, Luke Top, and Layer at Spaceland

These Are Powers at The Echo

The Mountain Goats, and Jeffrey Lewis & The Jitters at The Troubadour


Looks like the Mountain Goats show tonight is sold out. I think that the Raveonettes sold out their show too. So um, I've been hearing really good things about Amnion who are at Spaceland.



WEDNESDAY 3/5:



Sugar & Gold, Bachelorette, and Patria Jacobs at Bordello

Bad Religion at The House of Blues/Sunset Strip

The Autumns, The Photo Atlas, and The Secret 6 at The Knitting Factory (Front Stage)

Shiloe, The Hard To Get, Hello Dragon, and Black Kites at The Silverlake Lounge

Club NME w/ Howlin' Rain at Spaceland

The Hackensaw Boys, Restaurant, and Michael Mazochi at Tangier

The Duke Spirit, and Afternoons at The Echo

Foo Fighters, Serj Tankian, and Against Me! at The Forum

Inazuma, The Blessings, Thee Emergency, and The Echos at The Scene

These Are Powers, Teenage Moms, BiPolar Bear, and Ima Gymnist at The Smell

Jeremy Jay at Three Of Clubs

The Mountain Goats, and Jeffrey Lewis & The Jitters at The Troubadour


Wow, quite a few options for you tonight. Surely though, if you've seen The Mountain Goats live before then you are already planning to go the Troubadour. If you haven't seen the Mountain Goats live before, then you really should be planning to go to the Troubadour.



THURSDAY 3/6:



Howlin' Rain at Amoeba Music

United By Sound, The Good Listeners, The Golden Ratio, and Bachelorette at The Silverlake Lounge

Junior Boys (DJ set) at Spaceland

Twilight Sleep, Restaurant, and Karin Tatoyan at The Echo

Foo Fighters, Serj Tankian, and Against Me! at The Forum

Leslie & the Lys, Devon Williams, and Closed Heart Surgery at The Glass House (Pomona)

Rooney, Brett Dennen, and Lisa Donnelly at The Roxy

Monotonix, Anavan, and Bad Dudes at The Smell

Nicole Atkins, Let's Go Sailing, and The Parlour Mob at The Troubadour


Joe says that Twilight Sleep are really impressive. I *think* that I remember reading glowing things about Nicole Atkins on Three Imaginary Girls. Although a DJ set from Junior Boys at Spaceland does sound like a super fun dance party.



FRIDAY 3/7:



Balkan Beat Box, and DJ Joro Boro at El Rey Theatre

New York Dolls, and We Are The Fury at The Henry Fonda Theater

World/Inferno Friendship Society, Intro5pect, and Max & The Marginalized at The Knitting Factory

The Monolators, Radars to the Sky, The Flying Tourbillon, The Amateurs, and The Terrapin at Mr. T's Bowl

Why?, and Yacht at The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (First Fridays)

Tigers Can Bite You, Birdmonster, The Hectors, and Rademacher at Pehrspace

Division Day, The A-Sides, and The Coral Sea at Spaceland

Delta Spirit, and Port O'Brien at The Echo

Leslie & the Lys, Devon Williams, and Lance Rock (Yo Gabba Gabba) at The Echplex

Club Underground w/ Die! Die! Die!, My Best Fiend, and Rainbow Arabia at The Echo

Mt. Eerie, and Weyou at The Smell

Delta Spirit, The Virgins, and Port O'Brien at The Troubadour

There are just way too many good options on this night to get into it all. The fact that both Mt. Eerie, and New York Dolls are both playing on different sides of the same city is proof enough. Rademacher and friends are sure to put on a fantastic show at one of our favorite venues Pehrspace. And if you head over there you'll be treated to some stand out song selections from DJ Fielder. I think I will have to be at the Natural History Museum for First Fridays though for Why? and Yacht. Why? put on one of the most impressive shows I've ever seen a couple of years ago, and each time that I saw Yacht last year was more fun than the last. You can also look forward to great DJ sets from a few Dublab representatives if you make it to this one.



SATURDAY 3/8:



Actress, LoveLikeFire, Light FM, Redcar, and Nevenka at Bordello

Whispertown 2000, The XYZ Affair, Bachelorette, and Murder On The Moon at El Cid

The Virgins, Eye Alaska, Gilmore, and Building Rome in a Day at The Glass House (Pomona)


We're DJ- ing the Scene for our pals The Transmissions, and The Health Club. Stop by and say hi!



SUNDAY 3/9:



New York Dolls at The House Of Blues/ Anaheim

Big Business, Red Fang, and The Cops at Spaceland

Alex and Sam, and Liz Pappademas at Tangier

Part Time Punks w/ New Bloods, Softboiled Eggies, and Magic Johnson at The Echo

Crystal Castles, and Health at The Roxy

Gang Wizard, xNoBBQx, Wildlife, Goliath Bird Eater at The Smell


Crystal Castles had to postpone their show at the Roxy due to Alice Glass being in a car accident it looks as though Health will make sure that the show goes on. Thanks to Pitchfork for the news. Oh, and two perfectly minimalist post punk bands The New Bloods, and Magic Johnson both from Portland are invading the Echo as well. I'd never heard either before today, but what I'm listening to right now sounds pretty great. I've seen Softboiled Eggies before, doing Smiths covers. I'll be really interested to hear what their own songs sound like live.
