My top 3 shows to hit if you’re not going to the Hollywood Bowl for Smokey Robinson:
☛ The Californian [background] and Judson & Mary [ditto] play Spaceland, but late additions to the bill will make tonight pretty special — singer-songwriter Charlie Wadhams plays late, and L.A. newcomer (via Austin) Billy Harvey [whom I wrote about way back when] plays early.
☛ Nico Vega opens for Sweethead at the Troubadour.
☛ And Irish folk duo the Guggenheim Grotto [pictured] continues its Hotel Cafe residency, playing prior to a set by Chris Shiflett & the Dead Peasants.

Your tastes may vary: Kings of Leon, Built to Spill and the Features at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre (if you missed them at the Bowl on Monday); Asura at the Airliner; Victoria Noll at the Silverlake Lounge; Halloween Swim Team and Corridor at Pehrspace; Kozmonaut at the Viper Room; Basshaters at Echo Curio; and Addison Strong at the Mint.

when i looked back to read the Billy Harvey article i noted a show listing at the bottom of the page
“Amy Farris, who collaborated with Dave Alvin on her impressive debut, “Anyway,” performs Friday at King King”
she is missed.
She is indeed.
