[So flipping radio stations on the way home last night I heard Van Halen’s “Jump” for the trillionth time and thought, ‘How old is that song, anyway?’ Turns out that 25 years ago this week, it was No. 1.]
I wanted to find out which of the estimable performers at tonight’s “A Tribute to Scott Walker” would perform the Walker Brothers’ most memorable hit, “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore.” But my highly placed source declined to tell me, saying, “Half the fun is not knowing who’s doing what.” True enough. John Doe, Jenny O, Jason Falkner, Rob Dickinson and David J are among the contributors at Bordello; doors at 7:30. … If the traffic gods are with you, you can make it to Bordello after seeing the 7 p.m. Robyn Hitchcock [pictured] in-store performance at Amoeba. … Elsewhere, IO Echo blasts her way into the Roxy, while Dead Confederate brings the rock to Spaceland and the Capshuns play the Silverlake Lounge. … Ben Taylor performs at the Troubadour. … And it’s the final night of February residencies for Firebug (at Skinny’s) at Austin Hartley-Leonard (the Hotel Cafe).
