Upcoming!

January 12, 2005

This weekend’s hot ticket are clearly the *3* Arcade Fire shows at the Troubadour. There’s one show on Saturday (1/15) and two shows on Sunday (1/16) and all three are sold out, so be prepared to beg outside for spares or hit up EBay where a pair of tix is going for just under a hundred bucks. Opening acts all weekend are Tycho B and Final Fantasy.

Come Monday, the cool kids can drift over to the Hotel Cafe on Cahuenga and see traveling minstrel Colin Meloy without his merry band of rogues, AKA The Decemberists. He’ll be solo, playing assorted Decemberists songs and covers as well as selling his tour only EP of Morrissey tunes. Think of it as a preqel to the upcoming Advance of the Picaroons tour. He’ll be playing on Tuesday too! The Hotel Cafe doesn’t sell advance tickets, so pack your sleeping bags and start camping out like it was Star Wars. Preliminary musical services provided by Corinna Repp.

And yes, I will be at a few of these. No eye contact! It creeps me out.
