Tonight Florida-bred singer-songwriter Chris Carraba, or rather Dashboard Confessional, will be headlining the Hollywood Palladium with Floridian pop punk quintet New Found Glory (CANCELLED!). Celebrated Boston-based post-punk outfit Mission of Burma are poised to take on the Echo with none other than hometown heroes the Henry Clay People (Review, #2, #3, #4)...

Tonight Swedish alternative rock act A Camp, a solo side project of the Cardigans' vocalist Nina Persson, will be headlining the Troubadour. LA-based indie rockers Oliver Future are poised to take on the second night of their month-long residency at the Echo with experimental pop chanteuse Gliss in tow. And, lastly, local singer-songwriter Charlie Wadhams will be performing at the Silver Lake Lounge. But we strongly suggest heading over to Spaceland, of course, to catch LAist favorites Castledoor (LAist Review, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6) continue their month-long residency. Long Beach's own pop songstress (and general lass) Jessica Dobson will be kicking things off under the pseudonym Deep Sea Diver (LAist Review).

Tonight Disney's bastard children the Jonas Brothers are performing at the newly renovated Hollywood Palladium. Speaking of the younger demographic, please be good to your children. Take them to experience substantive, thought-provoking music like that of the Parson Red Heads (LAist Review, #2) and the Henry Clay People (LAist Review, #2), who will be performing at the Echo early on for Kidrockers. As always, you must have a child in tow to gain admission. Local singer-songwriter extraordinaire Charlie Wadhams will be concluding a month-long residency at Tangier in Los Feliz. And, lastly, Nebraskan indie pop duo Azure Ray (LAist Interview) will be gracing the Troubadour with Cursive front man Tim Kasher and local folk rockers Whispertown 2000 (LAist Interview, Review, #2). But we strongly suggest you head over to the Echo later on in the night for Portland's own experimental folk maestros Blitzen Trapper (LAist Interview). The busy bees in Parson Red Heads are slated to open, making a grand total of two appearances in one night at one venue.

Tonight Brooklyn-based buzz band Yeasayer will be headlining the Troubadour. Last year they were rocking out to twenty some-odd people at the CMJ Festival in New York. And a mere ten months later they were performing for thousands at this year's Lollapalooza. Talk about mobility! Anyways, Rhett Miller will be returning to the Largo at the Coronet with Murry Hammond of the Old 97s. And local singer-songwriter extraordinaire Charlie Wadhams will be continuing his residency at Tangier. But, in all honesty, we're really excited for the Cure Tribute Night at the Echo. LA-by-way-of-Brooklyn psych duo Gangi (LAist Review) are slated to perform with Hecuba. It'll be a strange night of electronic-infused fringe music, but it is not to be missed.

We haven't seen a Sunday like this since the summertime. We've got Athens-based new wave rock band the B-52's performing at Club Nokia in Downtown. Seattle's own experimental rockers Minus the Bear will be coming through the Henry Fonda Music Box with our favorite Raleigh-based indie pop group, the Annuals. LA locals Tigers Can Bite You are slated to rock at the Alterknit Lounge at the Knitting Factory. And, lastly, singer-songwriter Charlie Wadhams will be continuing his month-long Sunday Night Residency at Tangier. Word on the street is that Tangier will be closing its doors soon due to financial woes. But how could anyone turn down the Part Time Punks Festival at the Echo and Echoplex compound? Not only will some of LA's prominent fringe acts be playing (The Muslims, Mika Miko, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti), but living legends like Manchester's A Certain Ratio will be headlining the predominantly punk-tinged extravaganza. It will be the band's first performance in the US since 1985—the year I was born.

Tonight we've got our fair share of shows, but nothing extraordinary. Legendary English rock band the Who will be playing their second and final night at the Nokia Theatre in Downtown. Much to our surprise, NY-based hip hop group Onyx will be playing a reunion show at the Echoplex. And local folk singer/song-writer Charlie Wadhams will be kicking off the first night of a month-long Sunday Residency at Tangier. But we recommend stopping by Club Nokia, which just opened its doors earlier this month, to catch LA mainstay Beck (LAist Review, #2) in all his glory. And for those of you who are still on the fence, Jenny Lewis (LAist Review) is also slated to open the show.

              

Last Wednesday, Hello Stranger (MySpace) frontwoman Juliette Commagere (MySpace) -- backed by a 13 piece band that includes Hello Stranger bandmembers Joachim Cooder and Ben Messelbeck, as well as Obi Best (MySpace) frontwoman Alex Lilly on backing vocals and keyboards, not to mention quartets of horns and strings -- performed her solo act at Spaceland (MySpace) in Silver Lake. Opening for Commagere were Charlie Wadhams (MySpace) and the aforementioned Obi Best, who premiered their music video "It's Because of People Like You."

Two weeks ago, local singer/songwriter Inara George (MySpace) and her band The Bird And The Bee performed as the headliner at Detroit Bar (MySpace) in Costa Mesa.

Pink Mochi and the feel-good all American folk rock band, Charlie Wadhams.
