Weekend Show Preview: Ladytron and OAKS
Lots of shows going on during this two week stint at home. This weekend’s preview…
Saturday 5/31: Ladytron and Datarock at the Belly Up
I’ve really been into the more keyboard driven, dancy pants stuff these days and this show fits right in. Ladytron’s new album (produced with assistance from Alessandro Cortini, better known as a touring keyboardist with NIN) will be released on Tuesday and they are touring in support. Opening is Datarock - dance rock from Norway. Also, if you’re a North County type, you might want to check out the afterparty at Surf Bowl. Free bowling! You can RSVP here.
Sunday 6/1: OAKS, Archons and Damnweevil at Casbah
If you want to rock out, this is the place to be on Sunday night. It’s OAKS big night - their official CD release party. If you’re not hip, their EP, bravo! was produced by Toshi Kasai (Big Business, Melvins). Archons are no slouches either, so prepare yourself for an evening of head-banging (or whatever rockers do these days.)
Okay, that’s it. I’m done blogging for the week, catch you guys post-show and for all regularly scheduled features.
