TONIGHT IN LA: BAND OF SKULLS + TONS OF GREAT BANDS

Tonight's a night with too many great options for live music in Los Angeles, an embarrassment of riches. If you weren't at our RUMBLE LA party last week (and that's a question you really have to ask yourself), then you simply must see BAND OF SKULLS tonight at The Echo. Say you saw them when before they become the next White Stripes. Playing with them is a band we've dropped on the FS radio show, OTHER LIVES from Stillwater, Oklahoma (listen to "Black Tables") and OLIVER FUTURE. It's also FREE.

I also love anything associated with MANIMAL VINYL and they are presenting a show tonight with our lil buddies, AVI BUFFALO downstairs at The Echoplex.

Next up is another FREE show at Spaceland, where the bill is also a bruiser: CASTELDOOR (FS30) and EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS (FS29) - the latter featuring the lovely and talented Melissa Dougherty on guitar.

If you like to go big ticket, SEBASTIEN GRAINGER & THE MOUNTAINS are supporting METRIC at The Wiltern - Sebastien is awesome!
