TONIGHT IN LOS ANGELES: SHOWS EVERYWHERE

Too many great options tonight in LA, so here's some picks based on past FS friends....

The biggie tonight has to be at the Hollywood Bowl> NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS, SPIRITUALIZED & CAT POWER. Show starts at 7:30pm.

Their quick rise has them jamming the Wiltern, but VAMPIRE WEEKEND has earned it by touring non-stop. Support comes from WHITE WILLIAMS and ABE VIGODA.

Are you kidding me, MGMT on the same night as the others? They play tonight at the Music Box @ Fonda.

Fresh off his appearance at the Monolith Festival in Red Rocks, POP LEVI returns to play Spaceland tonight for the Club NME night.

The upstarts from the OC, VENUS INFERS, will be playing tonight at Club Moscow at Boardeners in Hollywood.

If all these choices aren't enough, TWEAK BIRD has their record release show at the Silverlake Lounge. I've heard the record and it's good!

MONDAY NIGHT IN LA: TOO MANY CHOICES

First off, SPIRITUALIZED are back, and playing at the Vista Theatre!!

San Francisco's THE MORNING BENDERS (FS26) play with Gliss and others at The Viper Room. Keep an eye on this band in 2008, things are going to happen.

I can't forget a band I really love, THE JEALOUS GIRLFRIENDS (FS24) from Brooklyn, playing the Silverlake Lounge tonight for free.
