Five Los Angeles shows I'd love to attend this November, but probably won't.


In the past few weeks, I've been lucky enough to see LCD Soundsystem, Sufjan Stevens, Hot Chip, Starfucker, Born Ruffians, etc. With plenty of good acts flowing through L.A. at a steady rate, I'd love for the fun to continue. 

It's unlikely I'll find the time or money to attend many concerts this upcoming month, but--in an alternative universe, where I am not a poor, overworked college student--here are five acts I'd check out in November.

@ The Echoplex ($10.00)

Of all the upcoming shows, this is the one that I am most likely to attend. This kid has a great sound and the show is only $10 on a Friday night. Looks promising.
Check out "What's In It For?"

The Wiltern (around $30)
This is expensive, but seeing this well-spoken indie-pop group (a Broken Social Scene side-project) will be well worth it for those who have money to spare.
Check out "The Night Starts Here"



Dr Dog

The Wiltern ($35.25)

I imagine they are touring their Shame, Shame album, which came out this April. Again, too expensive, but maybe I'll stand outside The Wiltern and listen. 
Check out "Where'd All The Time Go"



Best Coast

8:00 PM

@ The Troubadour ($15.00)

I was able to see Best Coast play a short set at FYF this year, but have yet the lo-fi trio in a headlining role. I think the intimate environment of The Troubadour would be the best place to do so.

Check out "Boyfriend"

Deerhunter
Mon, Nov 01, 2010
8:00 PM
@ The Music Box ($17)



Deerhunter's latest, Halcyon Digest, is being hailed as one of the year's best records. An ideal start to a music-filled month, but one that I (unfortunately) will not be present for.
