It's finally here: the last week of May, which means the Passion Pit / Harlem Shakes shows I've been anticipating for way too long. This week features a lot of excellent non-local talent.
Monday: Last night for May's monthly residencies. I'd recommend going to the Gangi residency at Spaceland, especially if you haven't seen Gangi yet, and especially since Warpaint and Local Natives open.
Wednesday: The Thermals at the Troubadour. I can't imagine this is going to be anything but a load of fun.
- I considered ditching this show to see Jens Lekman play his excellent (and Swedish) indie-pop at the Echo. I'm not going to do that, but it's reasonable alternative.
- For those without tickets, Jens Lekman is playing his second night at the Echo.
- Another option: The Henry Clay People return to LA, supporting Ben Harper and the Relentless 7 at The Wiltern. I hate the Wiltern, and you probably will/do too.
- For those without tickets, The Monolators are playing Pehrspace.
- Another option: King Khan & The Shrines bring their garage rock right upstairs to the Echo.
Sunday: Back to local bands, and here's two fine specimens: Go West Young Man and Le Switch play the Dakota Lounge in Santa Monica.
- Also, Warpaint plays earlier on Sunday at Space 15 Twenty as part of Blogger Shop Day.
