Losanjealous Concert Picks: July 9 – 15
THE PICK OF THE WEEK FOR THIS WEEK: FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS
HBO’s newest hitmakers in an intimate live performance. Ignore the copy on the graphic; I have it on good authority Bret & Jemaine now in fact comprise New Zealand’s third most popular folk parody duo, having overtaken the estimable Lachlan & Logan.

starting today you can preorder tegan and sara’s new album from fingerprints to get into their in-store on the 25th in case you can’t make it to their amoeba in-store.
Does anyone think that Interpol as a band will play tomorrow night or think its more of a plug for sam and paul to dj
p.s I keep thinking about that old house song that says everybody wants to be a dj, everybody,everybody
No Robert…..
I think not
Although I do think of that shirt that reads
“Fuck Your DJ Night!”

Shenny, you forgot to post the password. It’s “Admire” for L.A., “Love” for San Francisco. The Air pre-sale is going on right now too. Password: “pocket”. There was still pit for the Forum but Air is selling pretty quick.
The Times says Art Brut is back at the Key Club, of all places, on 9/1. This makes sense with their schedule — they’re at Bumbershoot later that week — but I haven’t seen it posted anywhere else. Anyone know if it’s for real?
Oscar, the password is on the right side of that link page I posted. Under the Special Offer Code box =P But thanks for the Air presale info. BTW $93.45 is a bit much for 2 tix @ The Forum, not including the $22 Forum parking.
Key Club website http://www.keyclub.com/ has something else listed for 9/1. Hopefully change of venue?
I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have an extra Zoon BBQ ticket they aren’t going to use?
Sorry I’m obviously a mac guy. I meant Zune.
Mike leave your email and ill forward u mine.
Beastie Boys – A Gala Event – Exclusive Instrumental Show @ The Wiltern, 8/21. Ticketmaster says there’s a presale tomorrow so I’m guessing KROQ will email the password tonight.
password for beasties at the wiltern is mixup.
Thanks Tommie, someone came through. Cool corporate day in the park. Really made me think about how nice it’s going to be once the park is actually done.
Justice @ Henry Fonda 10/9
7/16 Spoon @ Little Radio tickets are on sale for $15. Only 100 will be available.
Also Ben Kweller’s playing 3 nights at the Echo in September — each night a different album.
The Times probably had a typo. Art Brut’s playing the Key Club on 9/11 not 9/1. Good thing as they’ve got “flying to Seattle” listed for 9/1 on their website.
JUSTICE IN LOS ANGELES!
man i’m excited for that show.
anyone know when tickets go on sale?
Friday 09.28.07: GIRL TALK @ Echolpex (early show)
@ Echoplex
1154 Glendale Blvd
(Main Entrance is through alley)
Los Angeles, CA 90026
7pm / $15 adv $17 dos / all ages
get ready to battle with the new kids on the block
Agh, Girl Talk problem. Bought an original “late show” ticket and friend was gonna buy hers, now she’s not going and tickets are sold out so I’m buddy-less. Should I go solo or buy 2 “early show” tickets and try to sell my “late show”?
Advice is welcome. I am kind of thinking I’d want to enjoy this with someone and I doubt I’d be able to make quick friends in the midst of a crazy dance party.
Go solo unless you want to roll in the kiddie pool at the early show, if you can’t dance by yourself then by all means go to the early show no pun intended
Robert, thanks for pointing that out. I would want to avoid the kiddie pool for sure. I was all set to go solo, no problem, but bonus, I just saw that more tickets for 10 p.m. went on sale so I snagged another just in case.
Girl Talk is good times, austin was nuts. From what I remember…
[...] already conquered our coveted “Pick of the Week” slot last year, Bret and Jemaine shall bring the live [...]
