Young Dubliners, New Breed Orchestra Fri Mar 17th, 2006 8:00 PM House of Blues / $20 / 18+ Rock
St. Patrick’s Day is begging for a “jig pit.” Though not as young as when they began twelve years ago (go ahead, keep laughing), the Los Angeles-based Irish transplants now comprise a quintet that has toured with Collective Soul and performed at the 2002 Olympics. Check out Chas Waltz in particular, who balances violin, harmonica, keyboards, and mandolin. The Celtic rock group... >>more |

The Orb, Dntel, DJ Boom Bip, John Tejada, dublab soundsystem, Vello Virkhaus Sat Mar 18th, 2006 11:45 PM Walt Disney Concert Hall / $20 - $50 / All ages Electronica
You've come a long way, baby, when these British ambient electronica kings are headlining a show at Disney Hall. Though Brian Wilson performed Smile at the venue in 2004, and the Dakah Orchestra played (a kind of) hip-hop there, this is undoubtedly the most unusual programming the esteemed concert hall has ever had. Most famous for their seminal work Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld,... >>more |

Serena Maneesh, WE Sun Mar 19th, 2006 9:00 PM Spaceland / $10 / 21+ Indie Rock
Building a steady following in anticipation of the Stateside release of their self-titled debut LP, Norwegian co-eds Serena Maneesh have gotten some strong word of mouth for their feedback heavy live show. Coming on like The Jesus and Mary Chain losing interest in pop, the band explores the sludge buried within their guitars, and piled into Spaceland, there's little doubt that the... >>more |

Josh Taylor's Friends Forever, Clipd Beaks, Laco$te, Rose for Bohdan, Rib Rib, Toxic Loincloth Mon Mar 20th, 2006 8:00 PM The Smell / $5 / all ages Indie Rock
What better way to celebrate the advent of Spring than with bikini-clad babes, flame-throwing guitars and instrumental noise rock? Josh Taylor’s Friends Forever offer all three. Maybe you’d rather ring in the new season with a Belgian/Korean-American duo rapping in French about the history of eurotrash? Laco$te (pictured above) has ya covered. And if your favored form of nature worship... >>more |

Jose Gonzalez, Astrid Swan, Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly., Minor Canon Tue Mar 21st, 2006 8:00 PM Jensen Rec Center Studio / $8 adv/$10 DOS / all ages Singer-songwriter
Strapped for cash, gents? Here’s a tip: pick up an acoustic guitar, work on your emotional vulnerability, and you’ll probably place one of your songs in a commercial. Iron and Wine did it, and his Civil War chic ain’t exactly posterboy material. Nick Drake too, and he’s not even alive. The latest sensitive troubadour to nab a plum licensing deal is Sweden’s Jose Gonzalez, whose... >>more |

Earlimart, Band of Horses, Peter Walker Wed Mar 22nd, 2006 8:30 PM King King / $10.00 / All ages Indie Rock
Galaxie 500 morphs into Luna. Slowdive becomes Mojave 3. So it goes: from the ashes of great bands arise, well, great bands. Next up is Band of Horses, a new Sub Pop signee made up of members of longtime Seattle scenesters Carissa’s Weird. And what pretty horses they are: reverb-drenched, western-tinged, emotive--much better than these rock-crit clichés can put into words. Vocalist... >>more |

Metric, The End of Fashion, Islands Thu Mar 23rd, 2006 9:00 PM Henry Fonda Theater / $17.50 / all ages Indie Rock
Fear not Angelenos. The Toronto-based Metric may have a political edge, but despite their name, they won’t force you to abandon your precious inches and pounds. They just want to rock. Touring in support of their 2005 release Live It Out, the half guitar shredding, half synth loving group comes to the Fonda to show why Canada is the center of the indie rock universe right now. Led by frontwoman... >>more |
