Video Encounter: Auto-Tune the News, Army Navy

Auto-Tune the News: You must watch this if you haven't yet. You'll probably want to watch it more than once. The Gregory Brothers' EP Release show is on May 29 at the Canal Room in New York.



Army Navy: Video for "Saints"

Tonight: Two Shows with a Stop at Amoeba

Trying to go to two shows in one night is usually just not possible for two reasons: 1) They're happening at the same time, and 2) They're nowhere near each other.

Tonight, however, the stars have aligned. And it's all free.

First, start with Army Navy at Space 15 Twenty at 1520 N. Cahuenga. Outdoor show in their courtyard, and AM should go on around 8.

Then, just blocks away at 3 Clubs (1123 Vine) is this month's Rumble LA show with Here Here and Avi Buffalo. Here Here is a chamber pop band from San Fransisco, and you can never go wrong with chamber pop.

Doors to Rumble open at 8. I would guess set times are 9, 10, 11. Some blogs are reporting that Princeton is playing instead of Fitz & The Tantrums. Princeton didn't say anything about that at their show last night, so I'd say its doubtful. Fitz sounds fun; they have an oldies/soul sound.

The show is free with an RSVP on this site




So you park, walk over to Space 15 Twenty, see Army Navy, grab some food, spend some time at Amoeba, and then walk half a mile to 3 of Clubs. It's easy. And fun.

What 2 Go 2 (W2G2) March 2-6

(For W2G2 from today until March 1, scroll down two posts or click)

March 2: Nico Stai at Spaceland (March Residency).

Of the five Mondays to see Nico Stai in March (and you should go to one of them), I'd pick this one or the March 30th one (where The Movies are opening). This coming Monday, Eastern Conference Champions, Pop Noir, and Hesta Prynn open. Who's Hesta Prynn? Remember Northern State? You probably don't, but they were that all-female rap group from New York that some people were talking about back in 2003. The Beastie Boys comparisons never played out, of course. Prynn's solo material is supposedly "promising."



March 4: Princeton at Spaceland (with Special Guests TBA). Princeton is great. Kind of Belle & Sebastian-ish, and fronted by two twin brothers. I saw them at Spaceland in December; I think this is their first show since then. As mentioned in the last W2G2, they've played some shows with Ra Ra Riot. Their entire EP is up on MySpace.



March 5: Army Navy at Space 15 Twenty. Just like The Movies played there the previous week.

March 6: Exposure: A Photo Show at Where. Just like last week, but this week The Voyeurs, One Trick Pony, and The Monolators play acoustic sets.
