Matt & Kim’s latest album, “Grand” (released in January on Fader), is pretty lightweight stuff, but the duo [pictured] can charm an earflap beanie off a hipster and they always draw well in L.A. With the Mae Shi on the bill, the sold-out Troubadour should be party central (and there’s a pizza party afterwards). … Katy Perry admirer Little Boots, the “hotly tipped” (NME’s words) dance-pop songstress from London, totes her synths to Spaceland for Club NME with L.A.’s Love Grenades adding an extra shimmying. … There’s the big Eagles of Death Metal/Living Things show [see post below] at the Music Box @ Fonda (it’s sold out too). … The Soft Pack headline the Echo. … Castledoor brings its sweet sounds to Bordello. … Dame Satan and Tartufi represent for the Bay Area at the Silverlake Lounge. … And two residencies get under way: Austin Hartley-Leonard at the Hotel Cafe and Aushua at the Alterknit Lounge.
Man Kevin, you keep dissing the shows I go to. Yeah “Grand” is lightweight, but it is fun album from a fun duo. Its unlike most Williamsburg bands these days.
