Losanjealous Concert Picks: April 30 – May 6

PICK OF THE WEEK
’FrogFROG EYES @ Spaceland
It came down to an Eyes band vs. Eyes band battle this week–Bright vs. Frog–and the Frogs won out. Frog Eyes isn’t for everyone but those that do get them will hold them close to heart and just might have their life changed by them. NPR likened them to “the controlled chaos of early Roxy Music or early Pere Ubu.” That’s a pretty good start.
