If the open road and the big sky sound appealing, there’s the Clean Air Clear Stars festival all weekend in Pioneertown, beginning tonight, with the Black Angels, Dead Meadow, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and more. (Full schedule here.) Also:
Tonight: Singer-songwriter Joan Osborne (El Rey) comes back around. … Meiko and Rachel Yamagata help kick off another Hotel Cafe Tour at its home venue (it then moves to House of blues Anaheim on Saturday. … Get your drone on with Sunn O))) at Safari Sam’s. … Quintron is at the Echoplex. … She failed to wow me at Coachella, but Welsh songstress Duffy [pictured] visits the Orpheum. … And I don’t quite know what to say about this pairing at the Staples Center.
Saturday: Art and dance collide in O.C. … Balladeer Ron Sexsmith hits the Troubadour. … The Sword makes noise at the Fonda. … The Mae Shi head up a Noise for Obama benefit at the Smell. … Denali holds forth at the Echoplex.
Sunday: Great benefit at the Echoplex featuring, among others, No Age, the Tyde and the Movies. … Inara George and Greg Kurstin entertain at Tangier. … Parental units should check out the kids’ matinee show at the Echo. … And Shiloe celebrates the release of its new EP, “… And Now the Screaming Starts,” at Spaceland. What did I miss?
Sunday at Spaceland is going to be amazing! Free Halloween goodies and Shiloe dressed as characters from Back to the Future! Have you ever seen Doc Brown front a band? You know you’ve always fantasized about it…
