Losanjealous Concert Picks: May 8 – 14
Visit our concert calendar for a full show list, links to buy tickets and our top picks.
PICK OF THE WEEK: Destroyer @ Spaceland
Heavy guitar riffs, growling vocals, headbanging…you’re actually going to get none of these things you’d expect from a band named Destroyer. What you will get is the glam folk stylings of New Pornographers contributing mastermind, Dan Bejar. Trade devil horn signs with Dan Tuesday at Spaceland.

You should spend time with your mom today
Yo, I heard that Egyptian Lover will be opening for The Streets and Lady Sovereign at the Fonda! Can you confirm dis?
Is it me or is there so much good music rolling into town that it’s crap-in-the-pants-inducing?
No, it’s not just you Sherrie–we’re soiling ourselves over here too.
Then again, that might just be from our steady diet of divey eats.
