TONIGHT IN LA: 2 GREAT SHOWS

THE NATIONAL @ THE EL REY THEATRE

The big show tonight is at The El Rey: THE NATIONAL and THE BROKEN WEST. After going on tour with The National in the UK on the Alligator tour, I know just how amazing they are night in and night out, and seeing the songs from Boxer live is very tempting. Los Angeles' The Broken West also share the bill, prepping us for their forthcoming Merge Records release.

THE AUDRYE SESSIONS @ THE ECHO

Not to give anything away, but there will be a song from THE AUDRYE SESSIONS on FUTURE SOUNDS 29. I was handed their newly finished full length and was blown away. Someone actually turned in a complete record of songs, not a single here and there. This CD has broad shoulders and should finally land this band a home. It won't even take an A&R genius to figure it out, it's simply that obvious.
