The Monday Show Low Down (Or "Yes, I Know That It's Tuesday...")

Alright, the bad Interweb weather front appears to have moved on and left our powerful ENIAC computer once again able to process scantron forms again, so we’re back.

You went out last night and caught one or more of those great shows (Sea Wolf, Lavender Diamond, Tigers Can Bite You, The Sharp Ease), didn’t you? You didn’t work eleven hours straight and collapse like me? Ah, lame…

Anyway, here’s the highlight reel of how the rest of this week is looking:

Tonight, Lavender Diamond plays at Spaceland; The Hectors, Dead Ponies (Jason of Midnight Movies), and The Karabal Nightlife all appear The Silver Lake Lounge; and Ratatat are The Troubadour.

On Thursday, local indy pop darlings Irving are playing a free outdoor show with Monsters Are Waiting and The Oohlas at the mall at Hollywood & Highland, while Phoenix, Dios Malos, and La Rocca appear at The Wiltern, Andrew Bird performs at The Henry Fonda, and Gram Rabbit coalesce at The Echo.

On Friday, TV On The Radio play a free-instore at Amoeba Music (and then open for Massive Attack on Sunday night at The Hollywood Bowl).

On Saturday, Serena Maneesh, Midnight Movies, and WovenHand head to The Troubadour, and Brian Jonestown Massacre tear up Safari Sam’s.

And on Sunday, DJ Shadow plays The Avalon, Eskimo Hunter performs at The Echo; Rademacher, Maxxfemm, and The Pity Party appear at Spaceland; Brian Jonestown Massacre return to Safari Sam’s for a second night; and TV On The Radio open for Massive Attack at The Hollywood Bowl.

The following bands have also had nights recently added to the upcoming show column to the right: Yo La Tengo, Foreign Born, Lavender Diamond, The Album Leaf, Irving, Monsters Are Waiting, The Oohlas, The Ettes, Beware of Safety, Caspian, Village Green, The Sharp Ease, The Joggers, Tricky, Regina Spektor, Sia, The Bird and The Bee (Inara George), Dead Ponies (Jason of Midnight Movies), OK Go!, The Hectors, Karabal Nightlife, Death Cab For Cutie, Jenny Lewis and The Watson Twins, Dios Malos, Johnnie Burton & Her Band, Gram Rabbit, Jolie Holland, Ariel Pink, Blood Brothers, and and you will know us by the Trail of Dead.
