Just a quick note about Delta Spirit’s Friday night show at the Troubadour – not only did they sell out the legendary LA venue (with help from The Virgins, who were also fantastic) but they were also stand up, nice guys when I got a chance to meet them before the show.  That wasn’t entirely surprising given how fun, energetic and hopeful their music is. The  song “Trashcan,” which Nic has been playing a lot, captures the best of what they do. I have a hard time waxing poetic about rock music that is just straight up good with no clichés or gimmicks and that’s what both of these bands are. Check em out!

Local bands Biirdie and Parson Red Heads will be appearing on MBE this week -- Thursday and Friday, respectively. Some great music coming out of this town right now!  Parsons also has the January residency at Spaceland so go and see them tonight if you stayed in all weekend because of the rain.

Oh, Nic is also a fan of a track off Delta Spirit’s new full length – check out the SoCal group’s song “Trashcan.” Also, keep an ear out for Jason Bentley’s remix of the Frou Frou song “Breath In.” Its killer and it will be on the American Teen movie soundtrack (which our own Chris Douridas happened to put together!)
