PICK OF THE WEEK: Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars @ Skirball
The Refugee All Stars are a group of six musicians who fled the violence of their native Sierra Leone and started playing together in the refugee camps of Guinea. Their story is captured in a documentary chronicling three years in the lives of the band members, as they make the painful return to Sierra Leone and record their first album there. Make your reservation to catch the documentary screening on Wednesday and the performance Thursday.
Win tickets to see Nine Black Alps @ Spaceland this Thursday 7/20
Clever and memorable–an electrifying frisson of underground meets overground, punk purism meets pop perfection, artistic integrity meets not minding too much if more than five people like you. – NME

Thanks for the Tom Petty/Strokes tip, Alyssa!
Skim wrote in with news that the Do Make Say Think show at the Troub is cancelled. Which sucks.
thanks for the heads up on the like and nine black alps at mocha.. ill have to be there!
ya Do Make Say Think did cancel. Rumour has they’re gonna tour with Broken Social Scene before they go on hiatus!!!
Also, how the hell do i get tickets for Final Fantasy’s show at Little Pedros?
you’re welcome, f-a–that’s what we’re here for.
Irene–For a Little Pedro’s show I’d just show up, but keep your eye on Echo’s site.
Hey! After I saw the contest a couple weeks ago I ordered my own copy of Hungry? Los Angeles. It’s freakin’ sweet! Thanks guys (even if I did lose)
Tips:
1. Get to Little Pedro’s early for FF. Play some shuffleboard while you wait.
2. Go see Silver Mt Zion to get your angry Canadian collective fix while DMST resets their tour.
3. Don’t drink 2 beers during lunch.
thank you ron and victor!!!
victor, i would go see silver mt. zion but isn’t that show sold out?
Psst– Silver Mt Zion was moved from Echo to a larger space in downtown and more tickets are now available. Check out the updated link on our concerts page to buy tix.
awwwwwww, i found it! but my security code on my card is fading…i can’t read it and buy those tix! oi vey! what to do?!
For all the people that missed out on Editors tickets at the Avalon, they will have a free show the next day at Tower Sunset (August 9th). Be there or be square!
Awesome tip, Oscar. Thanks for looking out!
