TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: EL PERRO DEL MAR + OTHERS

The wonderfully enchanting voice and presence that is Sweden's EL PERRO DEL MAR closes up her North American tour with PETER, BJORN & JOHN tonight at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood. We fell in love with her back on Future Sounds 24, but she continues to release gorgeous records that not enough people appreciate. Throw in the PARSON REDHEADS and HECUBA and you have yourself an amazing evening at the Hotel.

If that's not your bag, there is plenty to choose from this evening, as Spaceland have our friends DIOS playing on THE HAPPY HOLLOWS residency night that also includes buzzin' REAL ESTATE and ONE TRICK PONY. Free.

The show with the most steam is probably going on at Echo, where FANFARLO and FREELANCE WHALES perform. Both bands are like runaway trains right now in terms of upward mobility, so you have some decisions tonight.

TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: FITZ @ HOTEL CAFE

We're fully convinced that a breakout act in 2009 will be the Los Angeles based singer/performer, FITZ. Tonight at the Hotel Cafe, Fitz and his band will be dropping songs that sound like they should be the soundtrack for THE COMMITMENTS II. Soulful and nostalgic, yet current, it comes down to great songs, and Fitz has them. He goes on at 11pm, see you there.

TONIGHT IN LA: DANA FALCONBERRY @ HOTEL CAFE

DANA FALCONBERRY, an Austin based artist we had the pleasure of meeting at SXSW, is in town tonight at the Hotel Cafe performing at 7pm. Give a listen to her Myspace page and it will suck you into her CD, "Oh Skies Of Grey" (00:02:59 Records) which blends country with a COCOROSIE vibe. Very memorable.

TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: POOR RICHARDS PRESS @ HOTEL CAFE

Get out tonight to the Hotel Cafe for our dear friend POOR RICHARDS PRESS playing with GREG LASWELL. Ricky hits the stage at 8pm, if you mention 'Future Sounds' you'll get a FREE PRP t-shirt.
