The Tuesday Show Low Down ("You Don't Need To Invade Paris In Order To Stop By For A Drink.")

I think I'm required by law to start pushing our Let's Independent! event at Boardner's next week really furiously right now... But since all three bands are great and we get an extremely nice-plus-fun crowd, it luckily doesn't leave me feeling like any kind of schill.

Suffice to say, go here listen to music from Foreign Born, The Hectors, and Molecules, if you've got a sec. And please try to make it out that night. We'd love to have you attend.

And remember: Supporting local music is a vote for freedom.

Here’s what the rest of this week is looking like:

TUESDAY
- The Minor Canon album release event @ Sea Level Records (6:30)
- Ferraby Lionheart & Friends @ Tangiers
- The Bentleys, Teaneck, Tremellow, & Great Glass Elevator @ The Troubadour
- The Black Pine & In Waves @ The Silver Lake Lounge

DECISION:
Yeah, I’d really recommend going to The Minor Canon release event at Sea Level at 6:30 and then you can’t go wrong at any of the other shows going on tonight.

WEDNESDAY
- Idyllists @ Club Moscow at Boardner’s of Hollywood
- Cold War Kids, The Delta Spirit, & Tokyo Police Club @ The El Rey (Sold-out)
- Gomez @ The Wiltern
- The Procession, The Breakups, & Astra Heights @ The Silver Lake Lounge
- Grizzly Bear & Foreign Born @ The Troubadour

DECISION:
The Cold War Kids show is sold-out, but Grizzly Bear and Foreign Born should be great.

THURSDAY
- The Prix, Kind Hearts & Coronets, & The Diggs @ Safari Sams
- Cold War Kids @ The Troubadour (Sold-out)

DECISION:
Again, Cold War Kids are sold-out -- but you can see bands like The Prix and Kind Hearts & Coronets at the tribute to The Kinks, The Byrds, and Love at Safari Sam's, instead.

FRIDAY
- The Good Listeners & Charlie Wadhams @ Tangier
- Afternoons @ El Cid

DECISION:
Afternoons is a new project band by Steven Scott, Brian Canning, and Brent Turner from Irving with Brian (Earlimart) Thornell and Tom (I Heart Huckabees) Biller.

I think this is the first time they’re playing out, so it would be pretty stupid not to go unless you’re deathly ill or something.

SATURDAY
- Oh No! Oh My!, The Deadly Syndrome, & Tandemoro @ The Echo

DECISION:
I haven't really heard Oh No! Oh My!, but I really like both The Deadly Syndrome and Tandemoro.

SUNDAY
- Yes Me To Death, The Front, & Kissing Cousins @ The Scene
- The Spires @ Eagle Rock Bowling & Drinking Club @ All-Star Lanes
- The Battle of Land & Sea @ Tangier

DECISION:
This is your last chance to see Yes Me To Death at their residency at The Scene in Glendale… It starts at 4, so you’d still have time to catch fantastic Ventura pop act The Spires at All-Star Lanes or the sleepy, folky, and good Battle of Land and Sea at Tangiers.

That's it. Did I miss anything? Lemme know.

Here are a few bands that I’ve added to the show calendar: Josh Ritter, The Submarines, Alexi Murdoch, Midnight Movies, The One AM Radio, The Front, Kissing Cousins, The Pity Party, Scissors for Lefty, The Youngs, Skyscraper Foundation, Golden Arms, The Black Pine, Sean Lennon, The Wires On Fire, Xu Xu Fang, LSD and The Search For God, Berko’s, Buffalo Roam, Castle Door, Earl Greyhound, Art Brut, Brightblack Morning Light, The Horrors, And A Few To Break, Corazon County, The Minor Canon, Kind Hearts and Coronets, Wait Think Fast, The Switch, The World Record, Coco B's, Media Orphan, The Henry Clay People, Downtown/Union, Unbusted, Codpiece, and needle.
