The Monday Show Low-Down (Or "Too Hot For Skull Rings")

Man, it's Monday today and I'm running behind, on empty, and at the mouth. But enough about me... Here are some of this week's show highlights.

There's a free Languis show at The Echo tonight, while Anchors & Archeticts appear at Il Corral and The Futureheads and French Kicks play The Henry Fonda. Tomorrow, The Happy Hollows play their first show at Spaceland on Tuesday (and appear at Tangiers on Friday). On Wednesday, Doveman (who we interviewed last week) plays along with David Thomas Broughton at Tangiers, while The Twilight Singers croon at The Wiltern.

This Thursday, Hella and The Advantage play The Echo and then on Friday, Neko Case at The Henry Fonda, Sea Wolf and Devics at The Troubadour, and the great billing of Space Mtn, Great Northern, Tigers Can Bite You, and Climber at Spaceland.

And Saturday? It doesn’t look like The Pink Mountaintops are playing with The Black Angels at The Troubadour. Sorry.

The following bands have announced new show dates for LA: Xiu Xiu, Great Northern, Irving, Dirty on Purpose, Buffalo Roam, Muse, and more. (Check out the right-hand column for details.)
