‣ Ohio-bred quartet Walk the Moon plays a sold-out show at the Troubadour – their self-titled debut for RCA will be out June 19. That’s the video for “Anna Sun,” the title track of their well-received EP released earlier this year. Kind of an indie-pop Killers, no?
‣ JJAMZ launches a residency at the Satellite leading up to the July 10 release of the pop quintet’s debut “Suicide Pact.” Great lineup for opening night too – Army Navy, the Damn Sons and some special guests going by the name “Lithium Blue” (I suspect you need only check out the band connections of the members of JJAMZ to connect those dots).
‣ Experimental pop trio ESP kicks off its residency in a big way – opening the night at the Echo will be A.A. Bondy. The support bands also include Tomorrow’s Tulips and Crazy Band.
‣ The Colourist and Blondfire team up for the residency at the Bootleg Bar, with Now, Now and Davis Fetter supporting on opening night.
‣ The Head and the Heart visit the Observatory in Santa Ana, supported by the Moondoggies and Husky.
‣ And Lana Del Rey does a second night at the El Rey Theatre.

I really like Walk the Moon; caught them at Echoplex (fun live show) and going for round two tonight at Troub.
HUGE fan of Walk the Moon! I can’t wait for their album to come out in a few weeks on the 19th, the artwork for it is soo freakin cool 🙂 They have a few webisodes they released too, definitely check them out if you haven’t seem them…http://bit.ly/KISLEz
These boys are coming to my town next week and I can’t wait to see them. 🙂 They’ve been getting so much airplay and MTV dubbed “Anna Sun” the official summer song soooo, I’m pretty much stoked to see what their album has in store in a couple weeks!
I’ve been obsessing with these guys since they released Anna Sun. The webisodes they just put up are awesome! I had no idea they played at Lollapalooza last year. This one has some cool footage from the show http://bit.ly/KISLEz
