Our Black Friday show specials:

Crooked Fingers, the long-running project of Archers of Loaf singer Eric Bachmann, headlines the Echo behind their sixth album (and first since 2008) “Breaks in the Armor.” Strand of Oaks and Graham Lindsey support.
‣ L.A. indie-pop quintet Walking Sleep, joined by the Shirley Rolls, play the Satellite in a show that will be headlined by a special guest. Who? Well, it’s somebody who hasn’t played live in a while, and it’ll be a nice surprise. Admission is $5 if you bring a donation of either canned food or clothing for the L.A. Mission.”¨ Walking Sleep recently released a full compilation of their Tarp Sessions, two songs from which we premiered early this year: “She’s Been Lying” and “Someone Who Could Be Loved.”
