A couple of big events for me this two week period with Hamilton this Tuesday, Sept. 12 at The Pantages, which should give me a large jolt of live theatre, and I'm anxious to hear the latest Fleet Foxes (at right) album performed live at Hollywood Bowl on Sept. 23.
Other than that my life is now consumed with trying to find a new place to live since I found out my building has been sold and I must be out by the end of the year. Music will have to take a temporary back seat for the time being. Onto the next adventure.
Week of September 11 - 17
This week offers sets by Jimmy LaValle of The Album Leaf with James McAlister of Planetarium at Bootleg Bar on Monday, Bebopalula at Hotel Cafe on Thursday, and Golden Animals at The Hi Hat on Friday.

----------------------------
Week of September 18 - 24
I applaud Fleet Foxes for not taking the easy way out with their new, challenging album, and it's been six years since they've been around so I look forward to their show at Hollywood Bowl this coming Saturday.
The Texas Flood Relief Show offers a bevy of local talent for a worthy cause at Bootleg on Tuesday, Aaron Espinoza plays The Hi Hat on Wednesday, and Swervedriver are at Teragram Ballroom on Sunday for some highlights of the week.
