Losanjealous Concert Picks: June 18 – 24
PICK OF THE WEEK
A Sunny Day In Glasgow w/ My Teenage Stride @ pehrspace
Two great newer bands from the East Coast making their LA debuts. Philly’s A Sunny Day In Glasgow is conjuring up some incredibly heady dream pop, heartbreaking girlie vocals amidst washes of dense atmospherics. My Teenage Stride is Jedediah Smith’s pop project now based in Brooklyn. This veritable hit single machine finally comes to LA, bringing 3 albums worth of the catchiest post-punkish tunes being written today.

Shenny, come on! We expect better from Commenterers of the Monthers. You have to make sure venues are included in your tips!
That Street Scene bill is almost perfectly divided between complete awesomeness and complete shit.
Good half = street.
Bad half = scene.
07/24: The Cribs @ Troubadour,
09/06: The Frames @ Henry Fonda
↑ tickets are both currently on sale.
The Killers at Street Scene again? This is the worst lineup they have ever had. Can’t wait!
I hope they headline otherwise Brendon might bust a weenie roast
Well, looks like Arcade Fire & CD Soundsystem are playing together at The Hollywood Bowl September 20th. They’re playing together at Red Rocks in Denver September 17th.
PRINCE PRESS RELEASE CUT-AND-PASTE:
—–
In an unprecedented Los Angeles event,
Purple will Reign for seven special intimate performances starting Saturday, June 23rd at the legendary Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel
Hollywood, CA (June 18, 2007) – Pop music icon Prince will be taking up residency and bringing “3121″ exclusively to Thompson Hotels’, Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel this summer, presented by Verizon Wireless. For possibly the last time in Los Angeles, the royal purple carpet will be rolled out for his Hollywood homecoming and the artist has chosen the legendary hotel for seven exclusive, intimate performances commencing Saturday, June 23rd, 2007.
Reminiscent to Prince’s legendary after hours parties in his Beverly Hills home, a select audience of 200 friends and fans will have an incredible opportunity to witness Prince firsthand in Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel’s Blossom Room, home of the first Academy Awards. Known for his spontaneity, Prince has frequently invited musicians onstage for impromptu performances. Past surprise guests have included Sir Elton John, Will.I.Am, Kelis, Sheila E., Herbie Hancock, Maroon 5 and more.
“The 3121 sessions at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel will offer admirers close-up and personal evenings with a musical legend,” states Jason Pomeranc, of Thompson Hotels. “We are honored and excited to host, both artists and guests alike, for this once in a lifetime experience inside the Roosevelt’s beautiful and historic, Blossom Room.”
At the 3121 sessions Prince will debut new music including “Guitar,” the first single from his much anticipated unreleased album, “Planet Earth.” 3121 guests can download “Guitar” right at the venue for free courtesy of Verizon Wireless’ new technology V CAST Song ID.
“When Prince, who has consistently been on the cutting edge of music, harnesses innovative technology to deliver his fresh new music, that’s a tremendous opportunity for music lovers,” said John Stratton, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of Verizon. “At Verizon, we’re committed to delivering powerful, direct and relevant music experiences and we are pleased to be executing on this through our relationship with Prince and the legendary Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.”
The evening will begin at the Dakota restaurant with Prince’s personal chef Lena Morgan presenting a VIP dinner, taking over the kitchen from executive chef Tim Goodell. Then the 130 special guests, along with another 70 standing room only attendees, will be welcomed into the Blossom Room for a musical performance like no other. Following every two-hour performance, fans can experience a late-night impromptu jazz set presided over by Prince.
VIP packages, including dinner at the Dakota (tax, alcohol, and gratuity excluded), will be limited to 130 seats, sold in pairs (65) for $3121.00. An additional 70, standing room only tickets will be made available for $312.10 each.
