Abandoned Pools – the musical vehicle of Tommy Walter (an original member of Eels) – return from a five-year hiatus to headline “A Night With Buzz Bands LA” on Tuesday, June 15, at Spaceland.

Opening the evening will be up-and-coming indie-pop wizards Chasing Kings, followed by the tightly wound guitar rock of L.A. quintet Vanaprasta. Watch for an announcement of the special guests who will play the midnight set.

Abandoned Pools released major-label albums in 2001 and 2005, before Walter moved on to other projects, including Glacier Hiking, Oliver the Penguin and various production and TV/film assignments. Now he’s returned to work on new Abandoned Pools music. [I will publish an interview with Walter in a couple of days.]

Tickets will go on sale later this week and are $8 in advance, $10 at the door. Spaceland is 21+.
