The Tuesday Show Low Down (Or “On Account Of Being Left Too Long Out In The Rain” )

Spent the morning drive catching up on albums and EPs that people have sent over recently. They’d started to pile up, so got to playing the new Henry Clay People, The Breakups, The Lost Libraries, Ladies & Gents, and more, before coming back to the recently-released Death To Anders again. (Yep, traffic was pretty piled up there.)

Feels good to be catching back up. Can’t wait to see some of these shows this week.

DECISION:
I can’t say enough good things about going to see Signal Hill live. They make even the most devoted indie pop followers fall in love all over again with dreamy, explosive post rock.

Also heart Mezzanine Owls.

DECISION:
The Airborne Toxic Event and Radars To The Sky are two of my favorite live acts in LA right now. And as Corinne from The Hectors puts it, “Seamus [from Radars] plays guitar like he's got one more day to live and he's not going to waste it.”

Oh, yeah. And we've got some tickets for it, too. Write us here w/ "AIRBORNE RADARS" in the title and your full name to be entered in the drawing.

- The Eagle Rock Bowling & Drinking Club w/ The Spires, Frankel, Franklin For Short, & Jake Mann

DECISION:
One of the best moments I had over the holiday break was hanging out at home and listening to The Spires. I never get tired of hearing their happily melancholy pop songs and find I like their smart, smart lyrics more and more over time.

They’re playing on Sunday at All-Star Lanes with Frankel, who are also rad, so add bowling and there’s Sunday night.

That’s it. Please let me know if I missed anything.
