What 2 Go 2: June 23 - 28

I'm out of town again beginning on Thursday, but I'll be scheduling posts to go up while I'm out. This looks like a high quality week.

Tuesday: Cryptacize at Echo Curio.

• Alternative: Local Natives and Sean Bones are playing a free show at Space 15 Twenty.
  

Wednesday: The Watson Twins at Largo.

Thursday: Amanda Palmer at the Troubadour. She's mesmerizing.

Friday: Fol Chen at the PDG Warehouse downtown. Supposedly a Lakers celebration. I'm going to miss Fol Chen again. Arrgs.

• Alternate: Telekinesis at Echoplex
• Alternate 2: Line and Circle (who sound great on their Myspace) at Spaceland. They're not headlining, and I'm not familiar with the other bands playing, so might not be worth it.
  

Saturday: Probably can't go wrong with Halloween Jack at Spaceland. I never made it to any of their shows.

What 2 Go 2: June 16 to 21

Quickly, since I need to get back to work and it's not a huge week for shows.

Tuesday - Thursday: Art Brut at Spaceland. Nico Stai opens on Wednesday and Rumspringa (sorry, got them confused with Vanaprasta) opens on Thursday. I'll be in attendance on Thursday.

Friday: Art Brut at the Echo.

Saturday: Seasons and I Make This Sound at Mr. T's Bowl. I Make This Sound features the rhythm section of The Henry Clay People. Speaking of The Henry Clay People, they really need to play an LA show soon.

• Halloween Jack also plays Spaceland, if travelling out to Highland Park isn't in the cards.
  

June in Advance

What you need to know about in advance this month:

• Datarock is at the Key Club on Saturday, June 13. And who might be opening? None other than Casxio.

• Art Brut plays four shows in LA the third week of June. June 16-18 at Spaceland and June 19 at the Echoplex. "I know I shouldn't, is it so wrong, to break from your kiss, to turn up a pop song?"

• 

• Residencies: Castledoor has the Monday residency at Spaceland, while over at the Echo Oliver Future has their Monday residency. Both are worth checking out.
• 

• This isn't a residency per se, and it's not free, but Halloween Jack, a glam rock group comprised of Gilby Clarke (former member of Guns 'n Roses), Muck (Buckcherry), Eric Dover (Slash's Snakepit, Jellyfish), and Daniel Shulman (Garbage) play at Spaceland every Saturday night in June. If anything, it should be entertaining. I plan to be at their June 20th show.
