L.A. Invation you mean ;)

Jimmy Kimmel‘s got Rilo Kiley, Hot Hot Heat, Modest Mouse and Gogol Bordello scheduled up for September.

oh bollocks to spelling error. “Invasion” not ↑

Koop is playing a party tomorrow at the Derby. Anyone know any details?
Posted by Oren 8/13/07 at 1:38 pm #

Anyone know who the secret band (“Sacred Fools”) at Hotel Cafe is tonight?
Posted by ben 8/13/07 at 1:59 pm #

apparently sacred fools is hanson, aka the band behind everyone’s favorite song, “mmmbop.”

I just heard a rumor about Cat Power playing the Avalon on 9/21. Is that true? It’s a bummer — that week is already awfully busy, concert-wise. But I think I’d have to go see Chan!
Posted by K 8/13/07 at 6:16 pm #

I wonder if the bands (ie booking agents) realize they keep slamming that week so badly? We can’t be everywhere at once!
Posted by Pete 8/13/07 at 6:55 pm #

My concert budget is low. Should I see Datarock or Justice?
Posted by Jenn 8/13/07 at 8:38 pm #

Isn’t Justice sold out?
Posted by Pete 8/13/07 at 10:33 pm #

Well, that would answer that question, then.

After LCD Soundsystem, though, I might be tired of indiesco. Screw it, I’m just gonna see Low again.

does losanjealous serve los angeles concerts or for the people of los angeles?

missing vegoose festival in vegas oct 27-28 in the concert listing. can’t miss daft punk – if you missed them at la sports arena, here’s your chance.

just have figure out which day they play. single-day tickets go on sale this sat aug 18th @ 10am.

The people of Los Angeles are best served by avoiding any mention of Las Vegas’ existence.
Posted by skim 8/14/07 at 1:11 pm #

yeah I never go to vegas, but I would go for Daft Punk.

The week of 9/17 is between ACL and Street Scene so lotsa bands stopping by LA. There seems to be a presale for Cat Power @ The Avalon. I don’t have any passwords though:

Crap. My last comment messed up the formatting of this page.
Posted by Bort 8/14/07 at 2:06 pm #

I was just about to post about Cat Power playing the Avalon on the 21st. Does anyone have the password? That is seriously the most messed up day ever for concerts: Air, Cat Power, Muse, Mono all in town the same night? Crazy.
Posted by skim 8/14/07 at 2:15 pm #

don’t forget Diplo and Switch the same night @ EchoPlex
Posted by Ryan 8/14/07 at 2:23 pm #

@shenny: you totally blew up the page buddy (fixed)
Posted by Jenn 8/14/07 at 2:27 pm #

the ticketrush password for this week is “indie” but it’s not working (yet)
Posted by shenny 8/14/07 at 2:45 pm #

Thanks Ryan. I’ll increase my hyperlinks usage from now on.

the Fiery Furnaces will be at the Troubadour October 22nd. yay
Posted by Jenn 8/15/07 at 7:52 am #

More tix released for Buzzcocks @ Spaceland.
Posted by Jeff 8/15/07 at 9:41 am #

Just in case anyone hasn’t heard yet:

Van Halen (with Wolfgang on bass) Tuesday, Nov. 20th at Staples. Not sure when the on-sale is.

Please nobody give Eddie a drink until then. That means you, Gary Cherone. You two should step back, too.

VH just ain’t the same without Lil’ Mikey’s falsetto backing vox.

I have a feeling that these shows are going to be in the mid-90s as far as Unintentional Comedy Rating goes.
Posted by Jeff 8/16/07 at 9:39 am #

Yeah, the high harmonies will be missed. But I don’t know if Eddie can handle the Jack Daniels logo on Mike’s bass.

The Hives @ The Avalon 11/7/07
Posted by Jenn 8/16/07 at 10:52 am #

Anyone have any idea who “Stimon and Garfinkel” @ Hotel Cafe (8/23) might be?
Posted by V 8/16/07 at 11:10 am #

It might be Jason Grandaddy and Aaron Earlimart.
Posted by Alyssa 8/16/07 at 11:32 am #

The Sounds are playing the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on 9/17. Another show I’m going to have to add to my busy concert schedule that week.

the ticketmaster presale password is 24hours

For those of you willing to roadtrip, Morrissey is playing in Tijuana, MX Sept 20th. There’s also 4 rumored Morrissey dates after at The Fillmore in San Francisco. Another L.A. date to be added? You never know….
Posted by Oscar 8/16/07 at 4:41 pm #

BTW, what ever happened to Frank? Rumor has it he got trapped in Daft Punk’s pyramid when he got too curious at their Sports Arena show….
Posted by Omar 8/19/07 at 3:14 pm #

Blonde Redhead @ The Avalon 10/25/07
Posted by Oscar 8/19/07 at 11:46 pm #

Morrissey @ the Palladium for 10 nights. October 1st – 13th.
