Stars are one of my absolute favorite things in life right now, and their show at the Orpheum last fall was probably one of my favorite shows of 2007.
They've just announced a tour which includes two LA-area dates -- October 01 at the Avalon and October 02 at the House of Blues Anaheim.
Additional tour dates are at arts-crafts.ca/stars.
They've also just released a cute new video for "Bitches in Tokyo" -- check it out below.
Waves and Wires has a really great recording of the Verve at the Warfield!!!!!
Have been listening to and liking Air Traffic over the past few days - listen to the song "Come On" or a little more mellow live version of "No More Running Away" live, below... They're at Avalon tomorrow night opening for Elbow (get there early) and at Spaceland on Saturday night, should be good!. Their website actually redirects to a netvibes page which is pretty cool...

Just as a heads up -- SUPERDRAG is going to be at the Troubadour on May 28+29 with Kay Hanley. Get tickets here starting at 10AM on Saturday.
Awesome. Also check out some olllld pics of the band that I took in San Francisco.
East Coast (and Europe) only right now -- tickets at W.A.S.T.E. on February 14 and at Live Nation on February 16. Does anyone want to go to Rock Werchter and/or the Amsterdam show with me?!?!? Debating a trip out there....
Saw him last night for the first time ever -- Goodnight, Hollywood Blvd was the highlight of the show for me -- I can't get it out of my head, it was absolutely majestic. Check out the clip below for a version from a show in 2007...
Because apparently I only post about 3 bands here --
Check out The Duke Spirit's "Neptune" Love Token. There's also an album sampler at last.fm.
At the Grove of Anaheim on 10.14.07 -- I think this was probably one of my favorite shows of the year. I went to this one because I was going to be out of town for the Santa Monica show the next day.
Also check out some videos of their 10.15.07 Santa Monica show....
Sia's website makes me really happy. The dancing costumes are super super cute.
All apologies for the lack of posts.... but go over to The Duke Spirit's page right now and preview some new tracks that they just put up because they rule.......
